Mo and Beau

"Meet Mo and Beau, two instantly loveable characters. Very different in size and stature, but in many ways just the same...Written and illustrated by Vanya Nastanlieva, this touching and humorous tale allows the reader to both release and embrace their inner child. Nastanlieva was awarded 'highly commended' at the 2011 Macmillan Children's Book Prize and it's easy to see why. From the cover alone, we instantly had a soft spot for these two opposing characters...This is a great book to read aloud with a younger or emerging reader. With minimal text and a great bed time theme, it can't fail to please any child or weary parent."

"This is a lovely picture book. It would work well for a younger storytime audience- perhaps for a toddler one- to read aloud and have fun with acting out all of Mo's little-big actions. It would also work, as per the book description, as a quiet-down or 'get ready for bed' story, if read in a gradually hushing voice. I found Nastanlieva's illustrations endearing and am keen to go back and read her picture book debut, The New Arrival. Do take a perusal of author/illustrators Nastanlieva's online portfolio if you can; it's well worth the look!"
