There is a subtle balance needed when finding a book to read to a toddler; one that takes into account the needs of the child, but perhaps also the needs of the adult. Do you really want to be stuck reading an ugly book about a pair of underpants for several months? (Oops we seem to have lost that book!) However, a book with striking visuals that strikes a chord with a parent may not always chime with a child. Is a children's book always meant to be just for kids?
A very similar sentiment can be found in [[Your Hand in My Hand by Mark Sperring and Britta Teckentrup]], whilst a nice family adventure that a child can enjoy is [[Clangers: The Brilliant Surprise by Daniel Postgate]].
