A Is for Apple

This unique, innovative book offers an engaging way for children to discover letters and first words! Young readers can trace each capital letter by following the tracks with a finger to learn the shape of the letter, then lift the flap to see an object that begins with that letter.

This engaging board book will help children:

Ã¯ ¿ ½ Learn the letters of the alphabet and how to write them as they trace
Ã¯ ¿ ½ Connect letters to new words with helpful illustrations
Ã¯ ¿ ½ Practice hand-eye coordination as they lift the flap on each page

To reinforce learning, caregivers are encouraged to help children trace each letter as they say its name and make its sound; point to each picture while reading the words; and practice hand-eye coordination as they lift the flap on each page.

Snack, please!

Tired of chopping fruit, cubing cheese, fishing rice cakes out of a backpack and generally fielding incessant snack requests? Then Snack, Please! is the book for you – all about the joy of making and sharing food, together!
Gertie LOVES snacks: sofa snacks, bath snacks, bedtime snacks ? it’s a snack life! She abandons almost every mealtime in favour of snacking. Her daddy can’t help but feel frustrated – how can he convince her to try new food? Or to even talk about something other than snacks? A day in Granny’s allotment might just provide all the inspiration that’s needed. In this funny, warm companion title to Carry Me!, Georgie Birkett explores small children’s exasperating eating habits and, once more, through a very endearing father-daughter mouse duo, she perfectly captures the ups and downs of parenting life.

Carry me!

Emma — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

A perfect book for Mother’s Day, Carry Me!, captures both the joys and the struggles of having young children, and shows that we all need a little break sometimes.

Wilbur refuses to walk anywhere. He loves to be pushed in his buggy; it’s such a relaxing way to see the world. And he really loves to be carried – whether it’s on his mummy’s shoulders or getting a piggyback, it’s simply his favourite way to get about. But as Wilbur gets bigger and continues to pick up extra props when he’s out and about (a useful stick, anyone?), pushing Wilbur up hills in his buggy gets harder and harder. Poor Mummy’s back is getting quite sore and she is feeling so very tired. So tired, in fact, she might just have a little rest in Wilbur’s buggy… A sunny, funny book that all parents and children will enjoy sharing together.
