Chris Raschka's brilliant Thingy Thing series is back! First published in 2000, these wee picture books have been out of print for over a decade. Four volumes have just been released, with more to follow later this year. Two of the titles, Whaley Whale and Lamby Lamb, are reprints, with fresh new covers. The other two, Crabby Crab and Cowy Cow are brand new additions to the series. I must admit to some bias here, I love these books, and l love Raschka’s work. There is a beautiful simplicity to his illustrations, yet they hold so much emotion, intellect and humour. The Thingy Things are perfect stories to share with toddlers (recommended for 2 - 3 year olds). Raschka speaks toddler. The stories are short, the experiences are relatable, and the humour is right on. I hope you enjoy these little gems, place a hold on one today.
