A pleasant story about Teddy who has his birthday on a rainy day... a very good subject for small children who (unlike the rest of us) anticipate birthdays with enormous pleasure. But this is not a book to be used with large groups of Nursery age children. On 10 pages out of the total of 22 there are four or more pictures set out as in a comic strip. Too small to see at a distance and confusing to follow for those inexperienced in print conventions. Used one to one, to develop understanding of a sequence or show how a story can be told in pictures, this could be successful.
