Who¿s going to mend these broken toys? Which tools will we need? And when they¿re fixed, where shall we keep them? Helping with real tasks is a natural progression from pretend play, and is a crucial stage in a child¿s development. Achieving a shared goal encourages a sense of responsibility, and develops many skills useful in later life. Simple conversational text and lively illustrations are carefully designed to encourage further dialogue between reader and child.
