Children's books. Part deux

Sally and Dick have nothing to do on a rainy day. Unexpectedly the cat in the hat comes to visit to show them how much fun one can have indoors. But are Sally and Dick really having fun?

Lovely book especially if you can do the different voices. Have to get the book to practice so I can do it as well as Dan's Nonas. 

What is a Gruffalo? Well get this book for your grandchild and you will find out together :)

When I worked in a Kindergarten the children really liked this book. I ended up either reading this book or a Disney book again and again till I had no voice :)  

Old bear counts "one, two, three, four" while all the other stuffed animals try to find a good hiding place. Little bear hides himself so well, that it can't be found. Is he really lost?I had this book as a child and I loved it. When I go home next time I will have to look for it in the many boxes that we have at home!

Here's a little baby
one, two, three,
Sits in his high chair
What does he see??
Peepo!

Look through the holes to find out what the little baby sees. Children love looking at the details of the wonderful illustrations. Very fun book for babies, toddlers and adults. My mum already bought this book for me :) 

Children's books, part une

This is one of my favourite children books. Alfie goes to a birthday party for the first time without his mum. He takes his blanket with him and won't let go of it, not until he sees a girl crying and he tries comforting her. 
It is not just the story that I love about this book it is the pictures! 

A witch and her cat fly over forest, river etc. The witch loses her bow, wand her hat which is only finds because different animals help her out. She lets them fly with her on her broom. Unfortunately her broom breaks into two. A greedy dragon finds them and what happens next? You will just have to get the book and find out. 

Another Shirley Hughes book. Just love her books. This is the nursery collection with five different "stories": Colours, All Shapes and Sizes, Noisy, Bathwater's Hot and When We Went to the Park. 

The rag dolls are very excited about Halloween until they run into the thorn witch. The story stays interesting until the last line and the pictures are outstanding! 


Soon more to come. Tell me what did you like reading to your children/grandchildren?
