Wake Up
Posted by dulwichmum on Thu 29 April 2010
Name of product: Wake Up! By Katie Cleminson, published by Random House Children’s Books
Price: £5.99 in paperback
The blurb: “Wake up, and up and up! There’s so much to do in the day, but before you know it, it’s time for bed and for stories and cuddles… A wonderful, rhythmic look at one boy’s busy day, as he plays and eats and learns with some very special friends”
“This is an instant winner with bundles of energy and a pace that instantly instils a sense of purpose and cheer. Beautifully illustrated with pen and ink-style drawings, this is an upbeat cracker of a picture Book” The Bookseller
First impressions: This is a pretty picture book with few words. My seven year old daughter and a few of her little chums, kindly agreed to help me to review this book
Ease of Use: The general impression from the poppets was that they enjoyed the introduction of new characters and animals throughout the story, although they felt a little disappointed that there was no verbal interaction with the animals. They said that some conversation or suspense would have maintained their interest, but agreed that the repetitive verse and rhyme managed to maintain the audience interest (aren’t they incredibly clever?)
Pros: The poppets thought that this book would be useful for teaching children animal names, and helping little children to adapt to daily routines, especially a new nursery school and learning new vocabulary. The darlings all felt that it was appropriate for early reception/nursery children, perhaps to be shared as a resource to help settling into school
Cons: Freya and her chums were not particularly fond of the illustrations although they agreed that the range of colours were engaging for little children
