Same

Same is a lovely picture book about a small child who is afraid of Uncle Charlie because of his huge electric wheelchair, but comes to realise that while he might look different, they are the same. It's a short but touching story, made all the better by the fact it shows they key point rather than labouring the point by telling. \\r\\n\\r\\nHowever, when it comes to picture books, it's not enough to have a good story. The illustrations have to be excellent, to earn and keep the attention of the listening child. The illustrations in Same are beautiful, a real strength. \\r\\n\\r\\nRecommended. \\r\\n\\r\\nThanks to the publisher for providing a free book for review.
