Toddy the Tomcat and Other Tales

Television actor Renato Rizzuti's first children's book is a throwback to early 20th century juvenile fiction, when the world knew rhymes from books not rap, from Dr. Seuss not Dr. Dre. The stories, told in verse and accompanied by beautiful full colour illustrations from artist Eleonora Bekbulatova, switch from teaching kids about why zebras have stripes to accepting racial equality amongst peers. Each tale's length is concise enough for a young one's short attention span. All font is bold text for new readers.
