Bamboozled By David Legge

A fantastically quirky book that gives me a giggle every time! The story is actually more about the illustrations than the simple yet clever storyline. This story is about a little girl who goes to visit her grandfather as per usual, but on this particular visit can't help but feel something isn't quite right. The funny thing is, everything is not quite right! Cowboys and Indians running through the hall way, fish in the TV, dishing hanging out to dry and mowing the grass inside . . . Just to name a few . . . But those aren't the things that seem odd. Its not until the little girl is about to leave that she realises what it actually is!

I can look at this book over and over and find someth
ing new and odd in the illustrations every time! This is a great book for children aged 4+, but I would recommend it more for a one on one or small group read rather than a large group story, as the best thing about this book is sitting around pointing out all of the things that are just mixed up!

Activity idea:
* Play eye spy with the pictures and see who can spot the most unusual thing happening in the picture.
* You could even play crazy eye spy in your room by taking turns to secretly change or mix something up in the room. The other person then has to try and spot the mix up.
