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?
