  Nosy Rosy, the anteater, is out on her tricycle, poking her big nose into other people's business. She spots Mrs Elephant hanging out her washing and shouts out, What big pants! and sees Mr Tiger having lunch with a friend and yells, You're being greedy! In short, she annoys all the animals in town with her nosiness, until she spots a thief in Mr Tiger's shop and gets him arrested. Then everyone has to agree that It's good to be nosy -- sometimes! This is a picture book with a surprise on every page turn and lots of things to count and find on the way. The sheer exuberance of Rosy herself will appeal to a pre-school readership and the story will bear reading and re-reading because of the amount of detail crammed into such a simple storyline.
