Liz Pichon's illustrations sit perfectly alongside the text. The supporting cast of mice, bugs, bees, butterflies and hedgehogs are dotted all over the pages, going about their business and peeping out from leaves. A simple story it may be, but there's lots happening on every page that rewards the inevitable re-readings. Her illustrations are bright, vibrant and energetic - scared Dave, giggling Dave, greedy Dave and tummy-rumbling Dave are all great fun.
''Dave'' is a simple story, brilliantly done. It'll make for a fine addition to any young book fan's websitebookshelf. It'd make a particularly good present from a cool, fun uncle or aunt. Parents may well pretend to roll their eyes if their children join in with the farting noises, but they love it really! Highly recommended.
My thanks to the publishers for sending it to Bookbag.
