Picture Book Treats

Heaps of Picture books have arrived so here we being with a few ....

The Littlest Pirate and the Hammerheads Sherryl Clark & Tom Jellett (Puffin)

The latest instalment in the Littlest Pirate is just terrific.
This time Captain Hammerhead is to blame for the ill state of Nicholas' family, and for the stolen treasure, so with barely a crew, Nicolas sails in hot pursuit of the much bigger and deadlier Captain hammerhead. Of course Nicholas might be the littlest pirate but he is very, very clever and it is amazing what he can create with the sparse food in the galley to deter sharks, and how he can protect himself with his special garlic repellent used in the water.
Pirate lovers all over will enjoy this adventure.

All Together Now Phil Cummings & Cassandra Allen (Scholastic)
Dad is organising the family holiday. Things are pretty desperate but they head off for Wallaby Creek to camp and sing songs and to enjoy - even the cat and dog are in the truck too ... they check the map and camp under the gums. And as you read this if it all feels like tie me kangaroo down ... well you might just be right because this time it is:
Throw your bags on the truck, kids, Throw your bags on the truck.
Stop your running amuck, kids, And throw your bags on the truck
.

Can I Cuddle the Moon Kerry Brown & Lisa Stewart (Scholastic)
A fluffy baby owl is looking for something to cuddle including the moon, a shining star, the sun, a butterfly and even a snake (and many more unusual things). Each time baby owl considers what to cuddle advice is offered from the mother-owl nearby until eventually baby owl realises that the cuddle is there right under baby owl's nose.
