Whimsical, a pleasure for adults too

Eloise Elephant and Agnes Mouse are best of friends. They do everything together. One day after skating Agnes invites Eloise home to tea. Agnes tells Eloise "today is a special day, it's my birthday." Eloise had completely forgotten. She jumps up and rushes off to buy Agnes a present. She looks at all the beautiful things in the shops and muses about how Agnes would enjoy a number of presents. She finally settles on the biggest cookie she can find. But just as she arrives back at Agnes house she falls over and its breaks into a hundred pieces.For a toddler just learning to speak this is a delightful book. The story is wonderfully whimsical (making it a pleasure to read over and over) and there's lots of things for your child to name. "Kite", "necklace", and "bridge". My daughter particularly loves this book because her she loves mice and elephants, she loves cookies, she's fascinated by the scene where the cookie gets "broken" and then of course there's the necklace and she now must wear one every day. This book is also a perfect size for a child hands (and easy to hold up when your reading it in bed). I'm back on line to get the rest of this series.
