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.
Bedtime for Little Digger
Although it’s bedtime, Little Digger is too busy with things to do to go to sleep just yet…
The soothing rhythmic, rhyming text of ‘Bedtime for Little Digger’ is just perfect for calming little ones down and snuggling up ready to sleep. Little Digger is really excited and busy, not ready for bed, a situation many parents will be very familiar with, but the story gently, but firmly reminds him that everyone needs their sleep so that they can be ready for new adventures on the following day.
Little ones will enjoy identifying the different types of vehicles as the book progresses. The illustrations add much to story with the colours moving from bright star filled skies as the sun goes down to the rich purples and blues of night time. Although perfect as part of a soothing bedtime read, there is so much to spot and enjoy in each picture. We loved following the antics of all the little bunnies and counting the sheep as well as talking about what loads the different trucks were transporting.
An absolutely delightful book, sure to become a bedtime favourite!
