Pip and Posy: The Friendly Snail

About this book

Pip is gardening. Posy is playing noisy games. BANG! BANG! goes her drum. Pip asks her to be quiet, but Posy's having too much fun zooming in her car and sliding down the slide. So when Pip's new snail friend is scared by Posy's noise, Pip is cross with Posy. Yet it turns out that sometimes being loud can save the day!

This is one in a series of sweet stories about the lives of toddlers. Pip and Posy are very different, and this particular story is about valuing each other's differences, and about finding appropriate behaviour for the situation. The friends always resolve their quarrels, showing that you can still play together, even with different approaches. 

The text is simple and has some fun noises to join in with, making it fun to read aloud to a little one. The friendly illustrations are warm, with lots of details to spot, providing conversation starters. Can the child find Posy hiding behind the bush, for instance. 

A delightful book in a heart-warming series that's perfect for toddlers and preschoolers.
