Review: A Sausage Went for a Walk

This special 30th Anniversary hardcover edition celebrates an Aussie classic first published in 1992.

 

A Sausage Went for a Walk is a funny little story about a sausage who decides it doesn't want to be eaten for breakfast so walks out. Then all the other breakfast items walk out too.

 

A breakfast time mutiny led by a sausage! 

 

Jay enjoyed this. It's a nice easy read that older children can read themselves. Filled with fun and mischief as each item on the plate decides one by one that they are leaving.

And I loved that toast didn't leave butter and jam behind.

 

Vividly illustrated in comic form by Peter Kendall bringing each food item to life.

 

A Sausage Went for a Walk is a humorous classic, picture storybook reprinted for a new generation of children to enjoy. 

 

My only very small problem with this was the rhythm and flow of the words took me a couple of readings to get the hang of.
