One, Two, Cockatoo Sarah Garson (Random House)
A delightful counting featuring some of the most amusing cockatoos. I especially love the illustrations of the eight cockatoos hanging upside down drying off in the sun. This is just perfect cockatoo behaviour. Young children will love couting the cockatoos in each picture and of course the 'surprise' at the end.
Baby Wombat's Week Jackie French & Bruce Whatley (HarperCollins)
Mothball, from the amazing picture book Diary of a Wombat is back ... but this time Mothball is not alone. Now Mothball has a baby and once again craziess and havoc follows. There are friends to play with and time to sleep, food to eat and faces to see, and tunnels to dig to create the best hole ever - big enough for a mother wombat and her baby. But where do they find the most enormous hole?
Mascot Madness! & Robot Riot! Andy Griffiths (Pan Macmillan)
Two books in the Schooling Around series that have been out for a little while but which kids just adore. It’s all about class 5C and their teacher Mr Brainfright. These books are full of humour and jokes that younger readers really enjoy.
In Mascot Madness Mr. Brainfright finds a brand new banana suit
"Why anyone would want to throw away a perfectly good banana suite is completely beyond me!" but of course the class teacher didn't know what Gretel knew about that banana suit.
And in Robot Riot ... Henry is suspicious about the new girl in class - Roberta ... could she be a robot? He is quite sure he is but the trouble is convincing his friends! After all she writes amazingly good stories and she certainly does not think Robot jokes are funny!
These books will have kids giggle all the way to the next one!
