Budding fashionista? Check. Young gourmet? Check. In this third book in the series, we meet a cooped-up child on a rainy day, who has a box full of toys but nothing to play with . . . or so she thinks! Stylish, bold art and a playful rhyming text make this picture book series stand out in a tight market. This latest instalment perfectly captures another one of those all-too-common moments of early childhood!
