Princess and the Packet of Frozen Peas Tony Wilson & Sue deGennaro (Scholastic)This is a fun rework of the Princess and the Pea fable although this time the princess is confronted with one thin mattress and a whole packet of frozen peas ... talk about sleeping rough!
Delightful classroom-style illustrations accompany the fun text.
My Aussie Mum Yvonne Morrison & Nicola Bright (Scholastic)Now just what is an aussie mum and what does she do? Well this picture book might give you an idea as it tells us all the things that an aussie mum does. She will give anything a go from looking after sick children (although she can also detect someone throwing a sickie), buying lollies as a treat, doing taekwondo, driving everywhere, to playing sports. Told in rhyme with lovely illustrations, this is a timely book for Mother's Day too!
Have fun sharing and singing and reading and exploring!
