Picture Book Review – Mack and Muck! – Sebastien Braun (Author & Illustrator)
Recommended for Toddlers/Younger Readers
This is definitely one of the biggest hits with my son that
I’ve brought home from the library. Well, it has tractors in it, which are
second only to diggers in his mind, so any book that features two tractors at
its core is going to be a winner.
Mack is the only tractor on the farm, but he’s not best
pleased when little Muck arrives to help. At first he’s not impressed with
Muck’s efforts, and can’t understand why everyone praises the little tractor,
but with time he realises that Muck is just learning, and that sharing the
workload can be fun after all.
It’s a lovely little story about learning to share things,
particularly relevant for older siblings to learn about sharing with their
younger ones. The illustrations are quite basic compared to some other picture
books, but they’re really bright and I think they give a lovely compliment to
the story.
There are other books in a similar vein by Sebastien Braun, and
they’re all worth checking out.
My son goes back to this time and time again, just to get
another glimpse of the tractors. If he picks this one out over others, there’s
got to be something right about it.
