Mum's Late,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Review 'A gentle story which deals sensitively with an experience common to many young children. It goes a long way towards helping children come to terms with their fears and feeling of rejection... The story skilfully portrays Jerome's predicament and rising panic. Simple sentence structure, repetition of key words and straightforward dialogue. Illustrations are gentle and reassuring. Children are drawn from a range of backgrounds so assuring that young readers readily identify with the story and see themselves reflected in the characters. This book should be made available to all children about to start nursery.' Child Education'An anxious child waiting to be picked up from school, but portrayed within an increasingly familiar and relevant multicultural context. The wide ethnic range of parents and children depicted should ensure that all children should find some characters in the book to closely identify with.' Books for Keeps Product Description When Jerome's mum is late picking him up, he fantasizes wildly about where she has got to. Has she gone forever, or has she found a new little boy?It's going home time and all the children are leaving. Except for Jerome.Mum is only five minutes late, but to Jerome, it seems like ages and he has all sorts of wild fantasies about what has happened to her. Has she been squashed by an elephant, or has she been held up? About the Author ELIZABETH HAWKINS has written a number of books for children.
