Imagine if we were deep in the jungle where butterflies drift and jaguars prowl where parakeets squawk and wild monkeys howl...

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.
The little Book of Duggee Hugs
This book is simply joyful, fun and hug filled. So remember whether your feeling awesome or a little blue, Duggee's book will have a hug or two waiting for you.
Explanatorium of Nature
My words will not do this book justice, because I can barely find the words for the up-close photography gives you a look at animals and nature like you have never seen before. The front of the book drew me in the first time I saw it, its beauty doesn't just lie in its shiny cover though, the pages within are captivating and the information will keep you immersed for hours.
What Makes Me a ME?
Ben Faulks has captured my imagination and got me to run with it to discover who I am, just as the boy in the book does. The boy goes on a journey of self discovery and awareness that is portrayed in a way to make you laugh and be at ease with differences.
Wipe-Clean First Phonics
As I have mentioned before I am not normally one to suggest formal learning before school, learning for preschoolers should be done in a way that is and feels like play rather than learning. However, when Hachette Australia sent me this First Phonics book I thought it would be a wonderful resource for the 3 year old and above age group, particularly if they are going to 3 year old Kinder.
Be Bully Free – Bullying is NOT ok!
Never underestimate the effects of bullying, it is NEVER ok and is always serious.
My Book of Feelings
The book explains to children what type of feelings that may be having and why they may be feeling this way. For example a Sharp feeling such as scared/frightened - Is when a child might feel scared or unsure about something.
Throwback Thursday – The Tale of Georgie Grub
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.
The Thing About Jellyfish
Much like Suzy, I began researching jellyfish experts and taking notes, not quite sure where my efforts would take me. This is the story that emerged.(Ali Benjamin)
