Rattle and Rap

Rattle and Rap takes you on no ordinary journey… Be prepared for a cacophony of sound on every page. There are spreads of wonderful artwork across pairs of pages and gigantic machines wherever you look. Not only trains - look out for cars, motorbikes, barges and boats. Alliteration abounds in this straightforward, repetitive and extremely memorable book. This is sure to appeal to the children in your setting and a popular book for sharing. - Early Years Educator

The book is beautifully illustrated with simple pictures that are brightly coloured and are packed with detail. Young children will love looking for things on each page as the book progresses. - Armadillo Magazine

Vibrantly illustrated with large, bold double spreads. There is no shortage of interesting detail, both close at hand and in the distance. These are books to share and talk about and enjoy. - Ibby Link

Bold design and bright colours make this book most attractive to very young children and there is enough detail in the pictures to stimulate conversations and more storytelling beyond the words on the page. There is great rhythm in the words and some lovely sounds.. the alliteration makes for a sensational journey when read at speed. However this book is equally suitable for a slower, more closely observed reading, giving plenty of time for discussing the train and its passengers. - Carousel
