Jigsaw: a puzzle in the post
by Bob Graham When a parcel arrives at the Kelly house, no-one knows who sent it or where it actually came from. Inside the plain brown wrapping they find a jigsaw puzzle of a beautiful African sunrise. As the family sets about putting the pieces together, the colourful dawn of the puzzle emerges and the jigsaw is almost complete. But then Dad discovers that – oh no – the piece for the hippo’s swim shorts is missing! Another superb example of masterful storytelling from one of Australia's most loved picture book authors. Highly recommended for ages 3 - 7. |
