Book review for Preschool, Nursery & Early Years.
Jingle Bells ~ Written & Illustrated by Nick Butterworth
We love this book and it is an all time favourite for the build up to Christmas !!
A little long and descriptive, it may be more suitable for the older children who can concentrate that bit longer ... but with the edition we have a real cat/sleigh bell included, on a length of ribbon ~ so the children can listen to the noise of the 'Christmas present the mean and grumpy cat, Angus recieves from the 2 mice Lottie & Jack
(recommended age is 4 ~ 7 Yrs)
