When a new baby is delivered to a family of robots, the adults are flummoxed by technical difficulties. Big sister to the rescue! A hilarious gem from David Wiesner, three-time winner of the Caldecott Medal.

Mr Wuffles

Emma — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Mr Wuffles ignores all the toys people buy for him. He’s not lazy, he’s just very picky. Now Mr Wuffles has the perfect toy and he’s ready to play. But it’s not really a toy at all. It’s something much more interesting . . .’Expertly imagined, composed, drawn and coloured, this is Wiesner at his best’ – Kirkus (Starred Review)

Tuesday

Emma — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000

In this ingenious and imaginative – nearly wordless – picture book, frogs in a pond lift off on their lily pads and fly to a nearby town where they zoom through a woman’s living room, encounter a dog playing in his yard, and distract a bathrobe-clad citizen from his midnight snack. Who knows what will happen next Tuesday?

A bright, science-minded boy goes to the beach equipped to collect and examine flotsam-anything floating that has been washed ashore. Bottles, lost toys, small objects of every description are among his usual finds. But there’s no way he could have prepared for one particular discovery: a barnacle-encrusted underwater camera, with its own secrets to share . . . and to keep.
