By Barry Smith
Dorling Kindersley Limited

Funny and exciting, Grandma Rabbitty´s visit is a children´s story that shows little rabbits waiting for their grandmother. As usual, Barry Smith brings us a story full of colours, lovable characters and a family caring environment.  His latest tale will attract the audience´s attention up to the end. The author of this book is a well known writer in the field. Barry Smith is the favourite choice for every parent who wants to introduce really young learners to literature. His books are always a success between the kindergarten children and the teachers of that level.

Smith uses a group of resources that make learning entertaining. Some of the effective means used are bright colours, which are the kid´s main draw, and then he uses the sounds of different means of transport that are clearly differentiated by using letters in bold and the repetition of them calls the attention of the characters and of the audience. Finally there are some animals representing diverse professions and transparent words are used for the children to understand.

The unexpected ending, makes the perfect closure for this enjoyable book. Grandma Rabbitty ´s visit is a great addition to the family´s bookcase.
