"Don't just grab it!" Says angry rabbit. (0/0 people found this helpful)
I know this book word for word. Every sentence from "Where's the meal?" through to "....sleep"! And after dozens of bedtime story sessions I have got every voice worked out, even accents - after all a Shetland Pony must surely have a Scottish twang, and the kangaroo requires an Aussie input.
I know this book so well because my eldest daughter (about to turn 4) has loved it for the past year and now my 2 year old loves it too.
They love all the different animals and all the different voices. It's helped them to identify moods too as each animal is described as being hungry, shy, greedy, etc. At the end of the story there's a picture of all the animals together and both my girls love the game we play where I ask them to spot an animal and they point to it. They quickly learnt how to distinguish between a duck, a swan, and a goose - and they know about gazelles, moles, and hyenas too!
In a nutshell: It's not as artistic as some children's books, it's not as fascinating a tale as many other stories - but it's fun and it engages my children in a way that many other books don't. I get to do a range of funny voices to make my girls giggle - and that's what daddies do best.
a lovely simple storey (0/0 people found this helpful)
A great little read. We have had this book for over 2years and it still gets regularly read, especially at bedtimes. A lovely simple rhyming prose with great pictures, and loads of prompts for those fantastic first words.
Also nice and short if its getting late! My heart sinks if they pick Tarzan!
Funtastic (11/11 people found this helpful)
This book rhymes, is beautifully illustrated and the words are chosen perfectly for children aged around 2 and 6; and even me, (aged 10 years old), enjoyed this book and it put a smile on my face. The plot of this book is that there is a dinner party and there is loads of yummy food: macaroni, chocolate mousse, carrots and much more. I really love this book and if I had to give it away, I would truly miss it; whenever I feel down n the dumps and I need a cheering up, I look at this remarkable book. I would definitely rate `Chocolate Mousse for Greedy Goose' 8/ 10.
A great book for reading aloud (4/4 people found this helpful)
My 4 year old loved this book from the very first read through and knew it off by heart within days. He particularly likes the line "don't just grabbit says angry rabbit". This is a good book for reading aloud and in true Julia Donaldson style has great rhythm and rhyme.
Lovely Illustrations (10/15 people found this helpful)
My daughter loves this book almost as mush as I do. Always makes me laugh when I get to 'fussy duck' page! Lovely and colourful with nice verse.
Very good.
