Wonder Walk
Jo Pearson
A stunningly illustrated story of a day in the life of a small child and her mother.
A child and her mother walk through the neighbourhood, counting all the things they see from one to ten.
From fire trucks to dog poo to creepy crawlies to cakes with cherries on top, plus much more.
Until there is one HUGE thunderstorm and they rush back home.
This deceptively simple story is loaded with meaning and learning opportunities and has a beautiful simple narrative arc.
It’s also a very sweet, gently humorous reflection on the relationship between a child, her mother and the world around them.
