Come To The Park
Margaret Bateson-Hill and Suhayla Ibrahim

This is essentially an ode to a park, a wonderful place to spend the day. A place that is absolutely bursting with things to do and things too see. Visitors might decide to spend some time on wheels be they cycle wheels, scooter wheels skateboard wheels, roller skaters, or in a wheeled buggy.

The park makes a great outdoor gym, a place to have fun and games with bats and balls or flying a kite. There’s the playground equipment for swinging, climbing and sliding.
It matters not the kind of weather, so long as you’re dressed appropriately. Said park is a dog walkers’ haven, a place to picnic, or to relax and meet friends, a place to watch wildlife and just resting a while. It offers sensory delights for eyes, ears and noses and yes. there’s always a time to bid farewell to friends you’ve met safe in the knowledge that tomorrow your favourite park will be there to offer fresh opportunities for fun and games.

Margaret Bateson-Hill’s upbeat rhyming text together with Suhayla Ibrahim’s inclusive scenes of park visitors of all ages enjoying themselves make for a book that cries out to be shared with young children at home in a playschool, nursery or any EYFS setting.
