The Palm Tree Swingers Island Band by Lily Lawson illustrated by Gustyawan #Review

 

Today we are looking at The Palm Tree Swingers Island Band by Lily Lawson. This rhymimg picture book for ages 3-8 was published by The Wright House on April 25th.  

Take a tiger, an orangutan, an elephant, an eagle, a rhino, a dragon, a spider, and a turtle. Mix with music till loud – you might want to stand back.

Your first impression of this rhyming picture book is that it is bright, colourful and fun. The text is bold and in a large font which makes it ideal for young children. There is variety in which page has the text and which has an illustration and each page is devoted to a different animal or insect. As it is written in rhyme, it is pacy and lends itself to sharing and reading aloud. The illustrations add to the humour, and I especially liked the facial expressions of each one. 

Cat and Mouse say: Wgich instrument can we try?
