Have you read "You Choose" by Nick Sharratt and Pippa Goodhart to your children? Well when I say read, it is more like played.
On each page you choose something to create a story. A friend, a place, a house, an outfit, a mode of transport, a pet, a bed, furniture.
We now have two copies thanks to
Bookstart which I shall be eternally grateful for (possibly). The children love this book and we get to play it almost every night. But the novelty has started to wear off for The Mr who refuses to read/play it anymore due to all permutations of the story being exhausted (in his opinion). Although technically that would require reading it every night for the rest of his life and possibly the lives of any grandchildren that may be produced in much future years.
However, I quite like it in smaller doses and decided I would give you all a little treat and reveal my choices from this evenings reading/playing. I know, exciting stuff huh? Hold onto your seats, this could be fun okay.

Not sure how I'm going to fit that in a bus/campervan mind. |

big favourite at our house - although I admit to feeling slightly offended when my daughter chose the caveman to represent mummy!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen that book before, but it looks like great fun. I must look out for it.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see a mum enjoying playing with the book too! Nick (Sharratt) sent me the link, so we've both enjoyed your enjoyment.
