Reviews
There are so many incredible books available at the moment that it is impossible to read them all, no matter how hard I try! Here are my thoughts about some of the books I have read and how I think they could be used in school as well as Q and A sessions with authors and illustrators.
Big Outdoors for Little Explorers: Birds
One of the joys of being known as a book lover is being able to 'borrow' other peoples' children to share stories with! My new little neighbour, Esme, is now six months old, bright and into everything so Big Outdoors for Little Explorers: Birds was a perfect choice!
Esme reached for the book with great enthusiasm and although her little fingers were too small as yet to manipulate the sliders and wheels, her fingers were twitching alongside mine as we made them move. She particularly enjoyed the ostrich sliding in and out, giggling in delight.
The book's sturdy construction stood up to being dropped on the floor and explored by mouth and is sure to survive repeated readings over the next few months as she comes to appreciate the rhyming text and the facts about birds included.
