These are Great!

Chester and Gil Carol Faulkner & Anne James (Scholastic)
A really fantastic fishy tale with adorable illustrations by one of my favourite illustrators.
Two fish live in the same fish bowl but they have very different views of life. For Gill today is just the same as yesterday but for Chester he knows that on any day he could change the world - and today might just be that very day!
Swim on Chester! Life definitely is what you make of it!
One of my favourite books for the year!


I Spy Dad Janeen Brian & Chantal Stewart (New Frontier)
Where is a little girl's dad? While perched in a tree she spies on all the dad's around including a mowing dad, a reading dad, and a snip-snap sewing dad. She keeps searching until she finally sees her dad - he's the one for me! Lovely picture accompany the simple rhyming verse. Perfect for favourite dad's!


Bear and Chook by the Sea Lisa Shanahan & Emma Quay (Lothian)
This delightful book is the sequel to the shortlisted Bear and Chook. This time the two continue their adventures ... by the sea of course! but to get to the sea they have to go around the pond, under the bridge, through the forest and over the mountain and chook is none too happy about that and wants to go home. At the sea the two have great fun ... until Bear is dumped by a wave and soon it is bear who wants to go home! A lovely tale of friendship and sharing and dreaming with great text and illustrations!


Bed Tails Meredith Costain & Mitch Vane (Penguin Books)
An absolutely delightful Good Night tale with a delightful rollicking rhythm, that every mum and dad who have had their sleep interrupted by young visitors will be able to relate to.
When a storm arrives in the evening the parents sleep is not interrupted by the arriving storm but by the visitors to the bed who are just a little afraid of the storm. Soon there are five in bed ...
but not for long!


These books are great for sharing with younger readers with wonderful word play and fun!
