Review:
This is a very simple story about Tom and his soft toy Pippo. The story is short, to the point and just right for young children. It uses simple language and has effective illustrations. There are several stories starring the same characters. Both my kids love having these stories and wanted to have the read over and over again. The story lines are simple enough for a young child to ‘read’ the story to themselves or others.

4/5
