Hello Garage made me smile the instant that I saw it, and I only loved it more after opening it and reading the story about Ludo, lifting the flaps, and touch and feel elements.
Hello Garage
Where’s Mr Duck
Your child will love this lift-the-flap board book where they will be surprised by animals along the way, and discover themselves in the mirror under the last felt flap.
Find Spot at the Zoo
The book can be more than just reading the words but creating possibilities through conversation and discovery. This can be achieved by learning about the animals, identifying them, learning what noises they make and where they might live.
Sleep Tight Very Hungry Caterpillar
'Shhh...everyone is fast asleep on the farm.' 'Who can you see cuddled up in the barn?' The language is simple and tells a beautiful story about the hungry caterpillar heading to his bed upon some leaves, while saying goodnight to his friends along the way.
4 Must Have Board Books
I am always on the lookout for board books that I can use for Baby and Toddler Storytime sessions at the Library or to give as gifts. These are just 4 of many books that I think have something special about them and want to share with you.
A Christmas Advent Story
The first time I read through it I ran my hand over each shiny page, making discoveries until the very end. It was like the excitement of opening an advent calendar, the anticipation swirling around you as you open the first numbered flap or in this case the cover of the book.
All Aboard the Discovery Express
This book is like DisneyLand, as your make your way through it there are surprises on every page, discoveries to be made and clues to follow. When this book arrived on my doorstep I literally said "WOW", I knew in an instant that this would be a most treasured and loved book.
From the Library Shelves
The good (and bad) thing about working in a library is that you find little gems on the shelves nearly every shift...I have had to learn to not bring every book home that I love. I couldn't go past this book because it is perfect for my story time session I am taking this week. When it comes to The Very Hungry Caterpillar I normally prefer the original book, but this lift-the-flap version is so sweet and perfect for my toddler group this week.
They’re Bright, Familiar and Children Love Them!
There is a children's picture book author whose books stand out on the book shelves, literally, because they are bright and colourful. Lucy Cousins books are familiar to children, especially the Maisy Books. Personally I have never been the biggest fan of Maisy, however when this book jumped out at me...the bright colours and size largely responsible, I saw Maisy and the story she had to tell from a completely new perspective. So, today's post is me sharing with you why this book has changed my view.
