Things we liked:
A fun and positive book which encourages helping out at home. All the illustrations show the children being supervised by adults.
Worth noting:
One of the illustrations shows a parent using an asthma inhaler, and one of the children featured is wearing a leg splint. Another illustration shows children helping with recycling.
