Mummy bear shares plenty of kisses with her cubs, each one carrying a special message of love, in this heart-warming tale with delightful illustrations. She lives in Glasgow and spends a lot of time on stage performing her brilliant sell-out singalong shows! Die Afrikaanse vertaling is deur die alombeminde Jaco Jacobs en die boek is in ‘n pragtige groot hardeband formaat, perfek vir klein handjies van jong selflesers. A quirky, age-appropriate spin on Romeo and Juliet, I would recommend this book for EYFS and KS1 although it could be enjoyed by all ages. It could lead to talking about friendship and how differences should be celebrated, rather than having a negative attitude towards it.

The soft, pleasing illustrations’ palette of tans, grays, white, black, some touches of color, and, occasionally, white text against black backgrounds suggest isolation, such as the ghost feels about himself.

Because this story is set in imaginary space I could have fun making up the names of all the different planets, like Lurglestrop and Klaboo.

The Smeds and the Smoos - Julia Donaldson

We are massive Julia Donaldson fans in my house and the smeds and the smoos lives up to hut standards. Through the illustrations you can slowly see the smeds and the smoods slowly accepting each other and that this was completed by the acception of the smoo-smed.This books follows the story of a smed and a smoo who are both warned by their families to avoid the other. While this is a fairly bland treatment compared to Deborah Lee Rose and Carey Armstrong-Ellis’ The Twelve Days of.
