Go Go Dodo!

When Dodo takes a stroll through the gentle jungle, across the friendly swamp and over the soothing sea, he is completely oblivious to all dangers, including the very hungry tiger stalking him every step of the way!

Perfect for a lively story time, ‘Go Go Dodo!’ is one of those joyful stories in which pictures and text combine to create a genuinely funny and satisfying read.

Children will love following Dodo on his walk and calling out all the dangers which Dodo is so blissfully unaware of! Playing with the tradition of pantomime ‘It’s behind you!’ visual jokes, the reader is in on the joke through the whole story and then offered an extra chuckle at the end! The simple, repetitive text will be quickly learned, even by the youngest children, allowing them the fun of joining in. For a really interactive story time, actions could be added along the lines of those used in ‘Bear Hunt’ story telling sessions.

The story could also be retold from the tiger’s point of view as he pursues Dodo on his stroll, perhaps collecting and playing with different verbs and adverbs to describe how the tiger is moving at different points of the story!

Great fun to share again and again!

Go Go Dodo!
