There, There by Sam McBratney

4.5 stars - Great!

I really enjoyed this great story. The illustrations were quite excellent, too. :) Combined, they form a very charming book. My nieces (17 months old) are here for a visit and this was read to them before it had to go back to the library: It's a winner! I have added it to my to-gift shelf so that eventually they'll have a copy of this charming story for their very own. :)

I loved how little Hansie Bear was so adventurous in his games, but his parents were never far from him so when he had little accidents and boo-boos his father was always there to comfort him with a "There, there..." Then later when his dad was hurt, little Hansie remembered and comforted his papa with a "There, there..." of his own. :)
