************
Brian is a very long sausage dog. So long he's lost his bottom! Can you find Brian's bottom? Where could it be? Have you looked in the hallway? Has Pauline the parrot seen it? Maybe it's in the living room, with Alan the hamster? Or perhaps in the kitchen with hungry Dave the tortoise? In the bathroom with Gavin the goldfish? Oh where could it be?
Regular readers of my reviews will know that I am a fan of board books that tell stories and engage our very youngest readers in the fun of them, developing an expectation that the written word will bring something special as they snuggle up with others in their lives to share. So this one with its l-o-n-g concertina foldout that winds through the house from front door to bedroom is a must-share and as a bonus, on the reverse side is another body adventure that invites the child to add their description of where Brian's bottom might be.
This one really does encourage those early reading behaviours and concepts about print that are the critical foundations of early reading and deserves to be in every little reader's library.
