Review by: carol Hitchings on March 18, 2013 :
Jenny Want has made a fine job of her first children's book. I work in a department of additional support where a big part of my job is promoting reading. The better readers are thoroughly enjoying this book.
In the first instance I was very interested in Jenny's work as I too am a teacher nearing retirement age who has bought a house in Loc. Albiano near Barga, and we look forward to spending many happy days there in the near future.
Well done again!
