Llama is waiting for his mama, who has tucked him in to bed then gone to fetch him a glass of water. When she doesn’t come back quickly, he starts to worry and fuss, eventually hollering for her as he gets cross. Such a familiar scenario – the perfect rhyming bedtime read.
Ever wonder what other families are having for dinner? Gem is a lovely little cookbook that answers just that – it’s a compilation of much-loved recipes from a group of parents in South Africa.
The best thing about this book is its very funny. Andy and Terry live in a very cool treehouse with 13 floors and on each one is something amazing, like a see-through swimming pool, a shark pit, a bowling alley, a lemonade fountain and a man-eating shark tank. They watch TV and write and draw books. They have the best life.
A sweet set of Little Hands Trust books by Nikli Daly for toddlers that explain concepts such as colours, shapes and textures in a simple and accessible way. Tom was immediately transfixed and looked at each page carefully making little noises when he saw the instruments.
Kipper plans his birthday party, baking a yummy cake the day before and making invitations – inviting everyone to his party ‘tomorrow.’ Only problem is he delivers the invites the next day and suddenly gets confused. Is his party today or was it yesterday? Or maybe it’s only tomorrow?
The series offers a very clever way of getting children to discuss emotions and personality types and how we need all types in the world. In each story the character is given a challenge – Little Miss Sunshine comes across Miseryland – she is reprimanded for breaking all the rules and when she asks why people aren’t allowed to smile and laugh she’s told because that’s the rule!
We’d love to hear from you!
