This picture book is an absolute delight. It made me laugh out loud.<\/p>\n

Maggie\u2019s grandmother Margaret is \u2018really old\u2019 and has the best stories. As Nan regales her grand-daughter with stories of her participation in the women\u2019s movement in the 70s, Maggie\u2019s imagination runs riot as she transforms the \u2018dinosaur\u2019 attitudes towards gender equality into real dinosaurs and cavemen and women!<\/p>\n

This book tackles feminist issues with flair and humour – and sees that the solution to gender inequality is co-operation. I particularly love the portrayal of Maggie\u2019s dad in the background, quietly cooking their lunch at the barbecue and nodding in agreement with everything Margaret says.<\/p>\n

When Margaret tells Maggie of all the injustices women have had to face, Maggie feels \u2018a fire rising in my belly\u2019 and Nan jumps to her feet, crying out \u2018Feel the fire, Maggie!\u2019 What a rally cry!!<\/p>\n

The illustrations support the text perfectly and are bright and joyous, with plenty of humorous details to discover on close inspection.<\/p>\n

This book encourages children to believe that gender is no barrier to them fulfilling their dreams and aspirations.<\/p>\n

Highly Recommended for children aged 5-9 years.<\/p>\n

Teacher notes are available on the publisher\u2019s webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n
