This book is awesome. All kinds of awesome goodness. And totally, completely wordless. This works well for Boy-o and Girlio these days, as they are really into storytelling from pictures on their own terms. This book follows the journey of a wee joyful streaker, who entices other tots into his bare-bottomed happiness. It's sweet, wordless, streaking fun. And pretty darned irresistible.
Mudkin by Stephen Gammel
Mudkin is where the (mostly) part of my title comes in. There are words, but they are minimalist. The illustrations are what take centre stage in this lovely story about a world created by a young girl using nothing but a mud puddle and some seriously good imagination. The pictures are vivid, engaging and do a wonderful job and telling the story.They are both definite, definite must reads.
