Review: I Know a Rhino




I Know a Rhino
Written and Illustrated Charles Fuge

Publication date: 2005
Publisher: Koala Books
ISBN: 0-86461-388-1
Have you ever sipped tea with Rhino, blown bubbles in the bath with Giraffe or had messy mud fights with Pig?  Join in with the fun and let your imagination run wild!
A loveable animal adventure for the youngest reader, celebrating children's creative play!
Rhyming text and super cute illustrations combine to make a fast, easy read that can be enjoyed by the reader and listener both.  The little girl in the book is adorable - from the upturned cuffs on her jeans to her fairy costume complete with mary-janes and socks, there is something sweetly familiar about her.  All of her creature companions have a different role in her imaginative play and I love how the giraffe page is in portrait layout to accommodate it's long neck.  The end of the book sees our little darling asleep with all her playmates, they are her stuffed toys.  It really is all about how she let her imagination run wild.
4.5/5
