review: No! by Marta Altes

ISBN: 978-1846434174  (paperback)

Suggested age range: baby-primary

Synopsis: 'No' the dog gets up to all sorts of mischief but his family love him anyway. A cute twist at the end that you will see coming but is a real surprise for young readers.

Why we love it: it's one of those books that is as enjoyable for the grown-up as the child to read. Particularly good if you have a dog as your child can recognise how naughty 'no' the doggy is!

Illustrative style: modern, naïve, humorous and quirky. You might think 'I could have drawn that', but you didn't, so ner!
