Book review: Counting on You by Corinne Fenton and Robin Cowcher

Book review: Counting on You by Corinne Fenton and Robin Cowcher

I rarely request copies of children’s books. Not having a child ‘n’ all makes kids’ literature kinda redundant for me… but every so often I get a media release that appeals and I ponder on whether my fave little FIVE year old would perhaps favour me with his thoughts.

Counting on You jumped out at me because I loved the whimsical cover as well as the sentiment. It’s being marketed as a potential Father’s Day present but is really suitable for any child with loving family and friends. (Which I’d like to think… is all of them!)

My mum received a ‘joke’ present from someone at her exercise class late last year. I suspect it’s because she takes things seriously. This is a Ball by Beck and Matt Stanton was passed onto my friend’s son who ADORED it, as did his daycare teacher and class.

It was a no-brainer therefore when the same duo released a new book – although this childless 40-something year old normally shies away from children’s books I had to share it with 4yr old Pickle.

Book review: Dinosaur Dump by Tim Miller and Matt Stanton

I don’t have kids so usually steer clear of reviewing children’s books. However… when I was offered the opportunity review Dinosaur Dump I couldn’t say no as I immediately thought of my favourite (just turned) 4yr old, Pickle, as it features two of his favourite things: dinosaurs and poo.

It’s billed as…

An ex-STINK-tion story that will bowel you over!
