Here are three delightful picture books for young kids ... the stories are lovely and there's lots in the illustrations to discover too!
The Littlest Pirate Sherryl Clark & Tom Jellet (Penguin Books)Nicholas comes from a pirate family but when the littlest pirate's family won't let him go to sea, what does the littlest pirate do? He takes matters into his own hands and of course who comes to the rescue when his family is captured by Red Bear the pirate ... I am sure you will work that one out! A lovely story and great illustrations.
Teaching the Teacher Joan van Loon & Chantal Stewart (UQP)Every school child at some stage wishes that they could swap places with the teacher ... then they could do the teaching and show the teacher that learning is tough! And that is just what happens when one child imagines!
Felix Pamela Allen (Penguin Books)When Felix comes down for breakfast he soon finds that Grand is very cross - bread has been nibbled and jam has been licked. And it's up to Felix the cat to find out who the culprit is. When he spies the mouse licking the last of the jam in the jar Felix pounces ... and that's when the trouble really begins - Felix gets stuck and soon the whole family, grandpa, grandma and Molly are trying to free Felix! Pamela Allen picture books are always a delight to share!
Happy reading and picture book investigating.
