image Award winning author and illustrator Mireille Levert's latest books about her lovable bear character, Molly, will be popular with children who know earlier books in the series. But each little board book can stand on its own, without previous introduction. Number five in the series, Molly Counts, shows items that Molly needs when she gets ready for bed - 1 pair of pyjamas, 2 blankets, and so on, right up to 10 indispensable stuffed animals. Parents and children will find plenty of opportunities to practise counting skills.

      Number six, Molly Draws, is about colours, a new coloured object being illustrated on each page. The little books are sturdy and well bound. Although not as fat as many books of this type, their slimness makes for easier, lighter handling for small children. Colours are bright, subject matter appealing, and drawings whimsical.

Highly recommended.
