As always, there’s a myriad of detail in Alex Scheffler’s illustrations, which keeps the conversation flowing even when the book is very familiar to both adult and child.
Alison Green Books have now published a range of Zog editions, including a paperback version with Imelda Staunton reading the story on CD. My slight problem with the boardbook board book edition was the small font size, particularly on pages where the words weren’t set against a white background. I think that adults sitting with a group of children might struggle to read it at a distance, from the side or upside down (as you do) and show the pictures to the children at the same time.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending this book and assure them that this copy of Zog will go to a very loving home. We also have a review of [[The Ugly Five by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler]].
Another favourite is the witchy tale [[Room On The Broom by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler|Room On The Broom]] which can be purchased with Josie Lawrence reading the story. You might also like to check out the other Bookbag Reviews and of course, [http://www.gruffalo.com ww.gruffalo.com] gives a comprehensive list of other titles from Donaldson and Scheffler.
