A timely tale in this modern era of rampant consumerism, More and More and More by Ian Mutch introduces us to Henry and Kate, two delightful characters who love collecting stuff. As they amass more and more treasures the frenetic rhyming text also gathers momentum and the story hurtles breathlessly towards its conclusion. A quirky, clever exploration of what happens when more becomes too much and the question of just how much is enough, this picture book simply begs to be read aloud and will become a firm favourite at bedtime and library story time sessions. The book is beautifully produced and young readers will particularly delight in identifying many of the objects in the detailed endpapers as well as the colourful spreads.
