Child's Play, tough card format, £5.99

This is a wonderful celebration of children's much-loved comforters of every shape, colour, pattern and kind - from blue rabbits and dummies to hairy, flowery and dotty cloths. The witty rhyming text and detailed, humorous illustrations convey the importance of comforters to young children - the joy of having them, the upset of losing them and the dread of having to share them!

Adding to the appeal is the comfortably sturdy and shiny format. A book that babies and toddlers will love and want to return to again and again.
