The copy crocs:  This is a good book when the alligators copy the leader.

Mo's stinky sweater: Colors. A sense of humor. Mo monkey let's go ogf the sweater and all the mummy animals fall down. The sweater is stretched and has multiple uses such as the hammock. (Reminds me of a saree that was converted into the hammock.)

The way I love you: A good book about a dog.

The collage illustrations are intriguing.

Hubert Horatio has the snakes and ladders games in the inside front cover and back cover.


"I will never not ever eat a tomato" is a award winner, Library Association's Kate Greenaway Medal winner. Clarence Bean names the veggies with cool  names.

Peas are green drops. Carrots are Orange twiglets.  Tomatoes are moonsquirters, mashed potatoes are cloud fluff, carrot sticks are ocean nibbles.  Good for a chfef or nutrition progam

It's a George thing by David Bedford

Each one of has a soft soft or motivation buttons. For George it was music that brought him alive and he started to dance. The inside back cover has a rhyme and my children just were rolling with laughter.

Start with a scratch
Push your chest up high
Tickle your chin
Now reaach for teh sky
Take a silly walk
Do your own things!
Say 'bye-bye'
Now spread your wings!

Charlie and Lola's Opposites by Lauren Child

The visuals explain the concepts.  There is a plate of peas showing the many concept and then there is a girl counting  a few peas. It appears taht the pictures were drawn by hand and coloured by markers and then cut and layed out on the page.  Has a warm child like appeal. Manisha

Stone by stone by Liz Bryan

The book has pictures of glyphstone.  The areial photographs of floured figure, Cabri Lake man, medicine wheels, ceremonial circles and all these depict the way in which the FN people live.
