The way back home by Oliver Jeffers
This is one of the nicest kids books I have read. The pictures are beautiful, the story is beautiful. It is great. You really must read this. Am I gushing??
When I read this book, Liam and I were both captivated. The story is superbly told, and the pictures make it really special. Liam (my three year old) loves looking at the pictures and talking about what is going on. The story itself has some twists which is surprising in a picture book.
Pictures The book is almost too nice to give to the kids. Liam enjoys looking through it by himself too.
Story The story is fun to read and we have read it now quite a few times.
Adults reaction My wife and I both love this book. It has a very special quality
Kids reaction Liam really enjoys it. We haven’t given it a go with Henry (my 1 year old) yet.
Overall Awesome. Buy it.


I love recommendations for new children’s books to meet and get to know, as a Early Childhood Teacher I know most of the classics, so its great to find something new.
Thanks for the review.
