Body

Buy on AmazonThis macabre tale begins with a box. A Japanese father is sent the severed head of his son. Merri Sang knew nothing of this, and neither did Julian Day nor Bill Urata, both of whom were in love with her; but the father's thirst for revenge brought all three of them into deadly peril. The story moves swiftly to a modern day Hong Kong as we follow the web of characters, where capture and death are around each corner and trust has been long forgotten. When Merri is kidnapped, her mother devises a plan to get her back, but Julian must muster all of his courage to carry it out, and perhaps his love rival will help, but maybe only if there's something in it for him at the end.

"Yes, this one is for two to five year olds . Again, it has nice illustrations. It doesn’t talk a lot about function, but it doesn’t need to at that age. It has just the right amount of information and very friendly language. Yes, anything that enables the children to interact is wonderful because then they can engage with the book themselves if you’re not reading it with them. Yes, it’s a fantastic all-round book to start children on their journey with their own body. And it will help them realise that it’s their body, so anything that will give them that gift of understanding and make them feel a little bit more in control is helpful. It’s really important that they know that it’s their body; they can be in charge."
