The Terribly Friendly Fox (Simon and Schuster) - a tale of a goody (or a baddy?) Read it to find out.
The Overstory by Richard Powers (from the library) - novel about nine individuals with a common thread - trees play a large part in their lives. Lets all look after trees, and do our bit to spread the word about global heating and the climate emergency.
Grumpy Frog by Ed Vere (from the library) - because we are all a bit grumpy sometimes
Young Children Learning by Barbara Tizard and Martin Hughes (I bought this one secondhand) - the author's account of their research project looking at children's conversations at home and in nursery settings.
Unplugged by Steve Anthony (from the library) - I just walked past this on the shelf, and read it to one of the children. It will remind you why we all need to unplug sometimes.
Brown Bear, Brown Bear by Eric Carle - because everyone should read an Eric Carle book quite often and this one got us through the Ofsted inspection!
Llama Destroys the world by Jonathan Stutzman and Heather Fox (Penguin Random House) Llama madness and hilarity.
Choose Llamas by Charlie Green and Matt Hunt (Penguin Random House) - think You Choose by Nick Sharratt but with Llamas...
Once I was Loved by Belinda Landsberry (EK Books) - the journey of a well-loved and well-travelled toy bunny. Gorgeous.
Lunch at 10 Pomegranate Street by Felicita Sala (Scribble Kids Books) - Pomegranate Street sounds like a wonderful place to live, and number 10 sounds like a brilliant building to live in. Beautifully illustrated simple recipes from each of the residents of number 10.
The Acrobat Family by Anouck Boisrobert and Louis Rigaud (Little Gestalten) - beautiful pop-up book which takes us on a counting journey with the Acrobat family.
Danny's Dream by Ian Parker and Victor Margiotta (MFPA Publishing) - a feel-good tale of overcoming adversity, and a magic wheelchair!
The Ultimate Survival Guide to Monsters under the bed by Mitch Frost and Daron Parton (Buster Books) - if you've ever worried about monsters under the bed then there are survival tips in this book for you all. Oh and they work for cupboard monsters too.
The Truth about Old People by Elina Ellis (from the library). Lovely, funny look at the perils of getting older, occasionally involving yoga... old people are NOT BENDY (some of them are by the way, and some of them are trying very hard)
And a classic favourite Out and About by Shirley Hughes. Collecting leaves on an Autumn walk, talking about the different colours, shapes and sizes. I love this book, Shirley Hughes' illustrations are detailed, delightful and deliciously inviting, drawing you into the pages to spot things you might not have noticed before.
I love Animals by Flora McDonnell. We use this book at songtime in our drop-in group for families. We talk about Old MacDonald's farm, and turn the pages to reveal who is the next animal on the farm as we sing the song.
