Looking for a free and fun event for children and adults? Ever considered attending a book launch? Today I am exploring some reasons why it is great to support book launches, and how they can be a positive impact on the most reluctant reader.
Puddle Hunters
I can not tell you enough about the joy I felt when I opened this book for the first time. I felt warm inside, I smiled a huge smile and I knew instantly that this is one that I really want to share with children. It is something that they can really relate to, and adults too who might hold fond memories of jumping in puddles.
The All New Must Have Orange 430
Follow Harvey on his journey with his Oragne 430 and how his experience will inspire children think about what they own, and encourage them to consider needs as opposed to getting every whatsydo or thingamajig for no apparent reason.
These Are Animals
These are animals is one of the most fun books I have read to a group of children in a while. It was great to see the children love the book as much as I did, which is why it is now one of my favourite go to books for Storytime sessions.
The Last Peach
This book is written fully in dialogue and has mixed media artwork as the illustrations, both add a unique flavour to the book that makes it something special.
Kate and the Thing
Heidi Cooper Smith made me want to smile, cry, laugh and tap into every emotion possible when reading this story. She has beautifully captured a child's feelings about new situations and the illustrations are just WOW!
Yoga Babies
Yoga Babies by Fearne Cotton introduces children and parents to the calming nature of Yoga through a picture book story.
CBCA Night of the Notables
Congratulations to all those that have made it to the notables list , I am super proud of the quality of Australian literature, the children of Australia are so blessed to have such good quality books at their fingertips, and for those children that don't let's make it possible.
Push! Dig! Scoop!
From early morning until it's time for bed, mama and papa are teaching their little trucks how to dig, scoop, and push at the construction site. This tough and burly crew scoop up dirt, dump it, lay BIG steel beams, mix the cement and roll it flat; at the end of the day they give a TOOT TOOT to celebrate their hard work.
From the Library Shelves – Outdoors
This little board book came through the returns at work and I instantly loved it and decided it was a must share with my blog readers.
