Toy Mountain

Toy Mountain is a really special message picture book from EK Books. Written by Stef Gemmill and Katharine Hall, this book celebrates the little things in life. The special connection between generations and the appreciation of the things - in this case toys. It's really a celebration of those special moments and those special things that bring us closer together as people. A really beautifully told story with the moral of realisation of what is important and connection. * NZ Booklovers * These pages show a kid's dream come true in a fun read, which brings along an easy to understand, and yet, not often seen message. The illustrations are well done and give young listeners something to look at time and again, especially as the toy pile grows and grows. The text is easy to read and so positioned to make this a good read-aloud as well. It fits the intended age group nicely. * Bookworm for Kids * Explores consumerism, greed and learning to be happy with what you have. It's a great lesson for kids, who often want more, more, more, or want what everyone else has. * Kids' Book Review * With vibrant colours on every page, this book is most suited to the very young age range. Those with curiosity about where things come from, and excitement about how great new toys can be. The many uses of onomatopoeia describing the sounds of the toys will make reading this story aloud a fun experience for all : * Reading Time *
