The moon, the sea, footprints in the sand and Martin Waddell's beautifully cadenced reminder of what childhood, and parenthood, can be at its best. Awe and wonder.
Three small owls wake in the night and 'things move' around them. Worse, they cannot see their mum. Whilst the elder two try to figure out the angles, the youngest simply has faith in his feathered parent.
A poetic and moving picture book which is, at its core, about death, love and remembering, but is also about scarecrows, windy weather, thoughtful crows, considerate field mice, observant cows, the changing seasons and the light through trees.
'Two Monsters' is writer-illustrator David McKee's darkly funny take on war and diplomacy, told via the tale of two monsters arguing over who's right whilst laying waste to the mountain they lean on. Small children will get the joke right away.
'Not Now, Bernard', now a picture book classic, tells the tale of young Bernard and the grumpy monster at the bottom of the garden.
Ben would like to play with his friends, but since his mother is working late he has to look after his little sister Allison. Ben and his friends pick on her, but gradually Ben begins to empathize with his sister.
Nicola Davies, a zoologist whose studied bats and whales and worked for the BBC's natural history unit, has written several children's books about bringing humans and nature back together.
Fabulous book about a fish who learns (eventually) that life is so much more fun and happier when he learns to share. Loved this book when my daughter was younger and still re visit sometimes when she forgets her manners!
