Catch!
Author: Trish Cooke
Illustrator: Ken Wilson-Max
Publisher: Alanna Max
Little Kiona tries to catch things her mum throws to her, but they are all too big, too hard, or too slippery – what's something to catch that Kiona will hold onto forever? A kiss from Mum!
First published in 2003, Catch! is both a warm representation of a mother-and-child relationship, and a study of different materials and sensations, presented in a repetitive, patterned narrative that will appeal to very young readers.
