Humphrey's Garden
Sally Hunter
Published by Puffin
24pp, 0-14-056745-3, £3.99 each pbk
A pair of gentle perambulations each comprising just two sentences (punctuated by minibeasts and toy vehicles) telling of a small toy elephant's favourite occupations indoors and out. The grey hand-written text and pictures in soft grey outline and misty watercolours evoke a sense of security and tranquillity as Humphrey begins to explore the world.
Printed on cream coloured card, these books are designed for very young hands and can serve as invitations for adult/toddler dialogue and for 'just beginning' readers.
