The Gecko and the Echo
- Brand: Unbranded
Description
Her rhyming narrative is the best in the business and is always someone I look up to when writing my review rhymes as the rhythm is so clear and not an awkward line or transition in sight. After a particularly ill advised burping marathon, he leaves his home to make it big – just what he deserves. We all know some extroverted people who love to be the centre of attention (I could be accused of this myself) but this is a great way to begin to build empathy and consideration for others in our smallest of people. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This funny and touching rhyming story is perfect for sharing, reminding us all that treating others with kindness makes the whole world a better and happier place.
An adorable board book edition of this flamboyantly funny tale about the love we give to the world – and the love that comes echoing back. She has written many bestselling books for children, including Love Monster, The Lion Inside and The Koala Who Could - winner of the Evening Standard Oscar's Book Prize and the Sainsbury's Book Award. Love these books and this one is no exception, the rhyming text makes it easy and fun to read which helps to engage the child. Jim has won multiple awards for the children's books he has illustrated; including the Lollies, The Roald Dahl Funny Prize, The Evening Standards Oscars Prize and The Sainsbury's Award. So he resolves to send positivity and kindness into the world, encouraging and building others up, finding that it was the true key to stardom, just not in the way he thought.This book has similar writing, excellent rhyming and illustrations and closes with the gecko learning a lesson, which we love. I was so excited to learn of a new title and so rushed out to get one (only for it to be sold out – it was that popular).
