Friday Barnes Never Fear

This is my first encounter with Friday Barnes and if this book is anything to to go by, Friday is always disappearing, investigating and getting into all sorts of scrapes that challenge the patience of her teachers and the headmasters, both old and new.

Hole in the Zoo

Hey guys, want to read something fun? Something that rhymes and where you can also make animal noises? Do you want to read something that uses the word ZOO in a interesting kind of way? Where the illustrations are gorgeous and the animals faces make you laugh (especially the giraffe on the front cover)?

Happy Birthday Mummy Pig!

I am not normally a Peppa Pig reader, but when I saw this absolutely adorable board book I knew I needed to share it with you all.  I didn't realise just how delightful it was until I started the Happy Birthday song from the button on the top right hand corner. This book is a classic example of making literacy and reading fun.  

A Bag and a Bird Review

I have been reading Pamela Allen books for as long as I can remember, her picture books are amazing and she is a favourite author of many Australian children and adults.  Her books are engaging and sometimes funny, with familiar titles such as Who Sank the Boat?  The Mr McGee books, and the popular (and very funny) Belinda.  The newest addition to her collection, A Bag and a Bird features familiar places to children who live in Australia or have visited Sydney.

What’s Up Top

So what is up to? That is what we are left wondering when we get to the end of the book, but throughout the story the children's imagination is fed and inspired. From pages with almost nothing on a it to busy pages with baboons and giraffes our goal is to think about what is on top of the cheeky ladder.
