Silly Sally / Audrey Wood


"Silly Sally" is a lovely board book that portrays Sally as she tries to get to town, walking backwards, upside down. Sally runs across a dog, a pig, a loon and various other characters on her journey and they all end up walking to town (backwards and upside down) with Sally.

Silly Sally is a colourful, fun, interesting, lively, tough little book. The bright yellow, blue and purple colours are sure to catch the attention of young children and the bouncing lively narrative will be fun for infants and toddlers to listen to and repeat. The actions in the book also merit the attention of readers and listeners as Sally dances with the pig, as she sings with the loon, and she sleeps with the sheep. This is a tough little book that could endure lots of handling by little hands, and I'm sure it will instigated a round of tickling near the end of the story.
