emma_in_dreamThe first four pages of *Toddle Waddle* read ‘Toddle, waddle. Flip, flop. Hurry, scurry. Clip, clop.’ It’s a delightful romp with language, spot on for a toddler. And, obviously, once again, a large part of the genius of the book is the illustrations by Nick Sharratt.
He uses bold colours and clear images with enough detail that my two year old daughter can examine them for a long while. His visual jokes are just the right level for her - the frog sitting on the boy’s head makes her laugh.
I sometimes hear Pearl lying in her bed recitign some of the lines of the book to herself. Clearly she is thinking of it happily.
