Just Like Me
Our Ollie
Silly Goose
Three books about comparisons. How often grown-ups tell children that they are like someone else in the family! In Just Like Me an older sister comes to terms with the fact that her little brother does look just like her. Charming pictures help provide a useful explanation. New baby brothers or sisters can be funny to look at - and they make strange noises. In Our Ollie the baby is compared to a cat, a hippopotamus, a cockerel, a hedgehog, a parrot and so on. Altogether a set of amusing comparisons. The little girl in Silly Goose compares herself to various animals as she tells us, 'I swing like a gibbon', 'I hop like a flea'. Full of lively vocabulary and very entertaining.
