Boo Roo and Tigger Too’s thoughts…
I have to admit to not being familiar with any of the stories within this book, so as Roo read them aloud I was too interested to see what was going to happen. The large text on each page makes it easy for young readers and with the beautiful illustrations keeping their interest as the stories unfold.
Priced with a RRP of £5.99 it represents good value for money and this is just one of the books availble in a series of ten available, so why not catch up with the other characters in the next books.
Available direct from Miles Kelly, Amazon and all other good book retailers.
Disclosure: We received a copy of Raggedy Andy to the Rescue and other toy stories FOC for the purpose of review.
