"My name is Malory, I'm 8 years old and I have ADHA. ADHD is short for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It can mean different things for different kids. My mom says that it's part of what makes me special. She says because of it, I am unique. Being unique means that you are one of a kind. That doesn't mean I'm alone though"
"We stand with out comrades, in salute to the fallen"
What delightful fun Lou and her friends have. Most of the time Lou is very brave and will try all sort of new fun things, but sometimes Lou is unsure.
In writing this book, Mem Fox called her book a "Rhythmic, loving, friendly Australian book, about all the people who have come here to make Australia the lovely place it is." I believe Mem has achieved this as she has captured the Australian spirit and more.
Lights in doorways, bikes leaning on buildings, baby rabbit, the moon and balloons all adorned the pages at some point in the book. They tell me a story of parties, a street at night, bed time and people waiting for someone to come home. I could go on for some time about how much I enjoyed the illustrations and the impact they had on me, but overall, they were just delightful.
What I love about being a Librarian and working in a library is that you come across gorgeous books such as this one. It is books like this one that I find very endearing to read to children
This book provided this librarian with a lesson and this librarian is pleased to learn.
Georgie was not exactly what you call clean...his mum had finally had enough and let him go. I remember finding the book very funny with the other people looking disgusted at Georgie and covering their children's eyes, the many many dogs following him down the street and the flowers wilting as he sat next to them.
"Trumpets tooting, cannon shooting, Music playing, horses neighing, flags are flapping, children clapping". Fun! Fun! and more Fun!
I opened the package not knowing which book it might be, I felt like I was 8 years old again as I slowly slid the book out and discovered it was I Don't Know What To Call My Cat by Simon Philip and Illustrated by Ella Bailey.
