Come On, Let's Play!

'Everyone's home, there's no school today.

There's so much to do. Come on, let's play!

The grown-ups hide, and the kids all seek.

First we count to a hundred - and promise not to peek!'

You don't have to go out to have an adventure, a day at home can be just as busy and exciting as any trip away. From pillow forts and painting to a living-room concert and a bedtime story, this busy family shows how it's easy to fill the day with fun!

Cheryl Orsini's gorgeous watercolour and gouache illustrations capture all the liveliness and warmth of family life.

[of THE ABC BOOK OF CARS, TRAINS, BOATS AND PLANES] 'Cheryl Orisini's illustrations are typically gorgeous a real feast for the eyes. Charming and whimsical, I love her use of colour and detail. I personally have only a moderate interest in machines (having already passed through my toddler years) but even I want to know more just by ogling these beautiful pictures.' - kids-bookreview.com
