Review: Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!

Small children will love this book. Already, I can hear the giggles, hoots and whoops of laughter across our fair land, as each successive character appears making the wrong (and utterly hilarious) sound.

Bicycles say ‘Cock-a-doodle-dooo’

Firefighters shout ‘Ding Dong’before they put out a fire!

And Flowers go ‘Chugga Chugga Choooo Choooo!’

This fabulous, riotous and chaotic book begs to be read aloud and will probably be started again the moment it is finished.

With brightly coloured, friendly pictures and the clever use of different voices (utilising voice bubbles and coloured shapes to demarcate various speakers) it’s easy to follow the outrageously funny action. If you happen to think that a bicycle saying ‘cock-a-doodle-doo’ is funny. Which most small people do.

One of the bonus, wonderful things about this book is that it brings an opportunity for all sorts of conversations around reading, comprehension and learning – in a fun and delightful way.
Definitely a feel-good book for grandies and aunties and daddies and mummies and siblies and besties and all the ‘ies’ to snuggle up with at shared storytime.

And at any time, really!

Highly recommended.
