Splendid collection of five short tales involving the ever-popular Little Nose. His exploits in trying to become a fully-fledged member of his tribe will be as popular with sevens plus as the other books (all published by BBC/Knight). I enjoy reading them aloud with sevens to nines. I think they enjoy the fun to be had in 'finding out about the world', making discoveries and dealing with difficult situations. Mr Grant's writing is as witty and as well-pointed as ever -- the title story is particularly fine. Author, illustrator and editors skillfully combine elements (songs, rhymes, visual tricks, balance of text and pictures) to help the novice reader. Read aloud and my experience teaches me that you'll need lots of copies for the bookshop.
