The Best Blanket

Mum thinks Donna's comfort blanket is getting a bit smelly and she wants to wash it. Dad thinks its worn out and wants to throw it away. But Donna's comfort blanket is very important to her: it's her scarf on cold days, her sail on windy days (at the beach), her bag on busy days, her island on lonely days (when she reads in the garden), her tent on camping days, her cuddly on sleepy days and it looks after her when she's scared. Donna loves her blanket - it's the best blanket! - And she's going to keep it forever. This book presents: a range of everyday situations in a child's life, repetition and rhythm. It offers plenty of opportunity for dialogue and discussion and sturdy card pages with rounded corners. Sarah Nash's stories have a gentle rhythmic text and touch on events close to children's lives. Pamela Venus' humorous watercolours bring the text to life providing emotion and presenting more material for dialogue.
