Look What I've Got!
by Anthony Browne
Jeremy is a pain - he gets everything he wants: a shiny bicycle, a new football, a bag stuffed with lollipops and a trip to the zoo.
He doesn't share anything with Sam. He just shows off. But then Jeremy crashes his bicycle, smashes a window with his football, feels sick after guzzling the lollipops and ends up going to the zoo alone.
Sam may not have a new bicycle but he is kind and friendly. He is happy in himself. And he is brilliant at football.
Surreal comic illustrations complement this lovely lesson in realising that happiness comes from inside, from who you are and how you behave to other people, not what you own.
