Customer Reviews

a sweet, wonderful book for any child

My 3 year old found this especially interesting when she was feeling a little jealous of her baby brother the way Rosie was of "Fat Mat". When Rosie tries to help her mother she causes her more problems so she decides to run away. In the end she realized that she is still loved and needed in her home and that she wants to be there, even with Fat Mat. This is a sweet little storybook, just right for child with a new brother or sister and the illustrations fit the story perfectly. Rosie and Fat Mat are precious! as is their stroybook home and garden. I highly recommend this book.
