Win’s Christmas Gift Recommendation: An Utterly Ideal First Book for Kids\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 10\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you give them a chance and great material, kids love to read and will do so for their entire lives. Thankfully, there’s an absolute goldmine of grand books for the young, such as this beguiling, award-winning slab of cartoon magic from the astonishingly gifted Jeff Smith (Bone<\/strong>, Rose<\/strong>, RASL<\/strong>, Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil<\/strong>) around to draw the little perishers in with\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Crafted as a tale for very young and emerging readers, Little Mouse Gets Ready<\/strong> features the frantic antics of a young field mouse chivvied along by his impatient mum. It is rendered in warm colours and bold, welcoming lines that a classic Disney animator would have given his grandmother to have drawn\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Toon Books\/Raw Junior was established by Art Spiegelman and Fran\u00c3\u00a7oise Mouly as an imprint of the groundbreaking alternative comics magazine to provide high-quality comics stories which would entice pre-schoolers and starter-readers into a lifelong love affair with strips in particular and reading in general.<\/p>\n

Released as a child-sized (231 x 151 mm), this gloriously compelling full-colour 32-page landscape treat is available in both hardback and softcover: the kind of illustrated extravaganza kids of all ages will treasure forever and return to again and again.<\/p>\n

Little Mouse Gets Ready<\/strong> is silly and witty and fun: truly beautiful to look upon and I must shamefully admit that I read it three times on the first day I got it. Rack it next to the set of Beatrix Potters and the Velveteen Rabbit<\/strong> – and why not get the download edition too for those fractious family journey by planes, trains or automobiles?
