Lovely read-alouds. These two stories capture the eternal timeless quality of the Aboriginal dreamtime in the first and the speech rhythms of the North American Indians in the second. Both books have beautiful illustrations with masses of detail to talk about, count and ponder on. The colours are rich, clear and crisp and the styles vary from page to page - silhouettes, print, repeated patterns and annotated cartoons - all adding lively interest.
