There are lots of rhyming picture books but very few that read aloud as beautifully as this one: Julia Copus is an award-winning poet and it shows. In this latest adventure for Harry the Hog and Candy Stripe Lil they are getting ready for Badger’s party: ‘At the top of the invitation it said: Will guests please arrive with a hat on their head’.
But Lil’s best hat has blown onto the roof – can they retrieve it in time for the party? It’s not easy, but Lil’s motto is ‘never say never’. Lil and Harry are an endearing partnership and this little story of try, try again is made even more appealing by Eunyoung Seo’s captivating illustrations, and that silvery rhyming text. ~ Andrea Reece
