I recently took some time out to go and enjoy looking through the Readings Kids Store in Carlton. If you live in Melbourne or are visiting and love kids and Teen books then head in and have a look. It is the Disneyland of books.
Readings Kids Store
Board Book – Stripy Tiger Pattern Book
You can be certain that when a creative person such as Jane Foster creates books for babies and toddlers that you are in for something special. When a couple of her books were purchased for the library they caught my eye and I was instantly engaged
Lila and the Crow
Oh lila, from the outset my heart felt so sad that you were not accepted because of your dark hair, eyes and skin.

The Travel Bug
"In a land of long grasses, where small insects crawl, lived a strange little bug, with no name at all. What creature are you ? the other bugs asked, but the bug didn't know, and the others walked past."
A Tribute to Dick Bruna
Rest in Peace Dick Bruna...Miffy will continue to live on in all through many more generations to come.

I decided to share this today because it is one that mattered to me. There are books that come and go, there are books that stay with you and this is one of them.
Grover McBane Rescue Dog:Grover Finds a Home
"Grover's tummy had been rumbling all day. He couldn't remember when he'd last had a meal. He wished the Man with Big Boots fed him more often. Doesn't he know that dogs need to eat everyday? Grover thought, as he scrunched his wet body small and tight to try to stay warm. It didn't work. He was still cold."
Just Out – The Dog Encyclopedia for Kids
The book is full of fun facts, solid information on the dogs appearance, personality, and training notes
