5/11/2023 0 Comments Susan laughs bookI actually felt a little emotional, having assumed throughout the story (as you're supposed to) that Susan is able bodied.Įach page is a full colour picture, and each picture has a two word description, so this is a great book to share with tiny tots of around two years old but also works well for older pre-schoolers who can understand the idea of a disabled child, or who are perhaps even beginning to attempt reading for themselves and appreciate the simplicity of two words to a page. I wasn't sure where the book was going the first time I read it, and I was just enjoying it for the lovely illustrations and simple concepts, so when I turned the final page it came as a surprise and I immediately turned back to the beginning again to look at all the pictures in another light. It is only on the very last page that we see that Susan is in a wheelchair, but we read that she is just like me, just like you. Susan does a lot of things actually throughout this story, like riding on a pony or painting a picture, singing songs, getting scared in bed, playing on a roundabout with her friends, scaring her Granny with a jack-in-the-box. Summary: A wonderful story, with an important message.
