"The very hungry caterpillar literally eats his way through the pages of the book—and right into your child's heart..." —Mother's Manual "Gorgeously illustrated, brilliantly innovative..." —The New York Times Book Review
Comic, colourful and succinct, with short text, lots of pictures and jokey captions, this is a brilliant introduction to the story of Ireland. From its pictorial endpaper maps to the panels of 'Irish Icons' ranging from Brian Boru to the Abbey Theatre, it is packed with useful and fascinating information. A story that is often complicated and turbulent is told with sensitivity and clarity, from the first legends right up to the present day. The Story of Ireland is the follow-up to Richard Brassey and Stewart Ross's The Story of Scotland, which won the Saltire Society/TES Award for Educational Publications and the Scottish Arts Council Children's Book Award.

Mother Bunny cooks them for their tea and they are delicious! Award-winning UK poet, Tony Mitton, has worked closely with Dick Bruna's Dutch publisher to create new translations for the classic Miffy stories that are true to the books' original voice, and yet have a contemporary feel to the language that makes them appealing to the modern young audience.

Jakkals word wakker met 'n stert wat nie wil swaai nie. Is sy dalk siek? Kan 'n hond se stert net skielik breek? Haar mense is bekommerd, maar dis Lolliepop, Jakkals se beste maat, wat raai wat fout is. Hulle twee swem mos graag in die dam, waar Jakkals duik en rol soos 'n wafferse walvis. Al wat Jakkals nodig het om beter te word, is iemand wat verstaan, soos Lolliepop! Die scenario van troeteldiere wat hulle eienaars soggens kom wakker maak, is aan baie huishoudings bekend, en kinders sal maklik hiermee identifiseer en assosiasies maak. Die teikenmark (3 – 7 jaar oud) kan op dié ouderdom al met ander simpatiseer en veral wanneer assosiasies gemaak word met gebeure of karakters wat vir hulle emosionele betekenis inhou. Jakkals se dilemma sal jong verbeeldings aanwakker om redes en oplossings te probeer vind. Kreatiewe denke word ook so gestimuleer. Die skrywer maak dit verder vanuit die staanspoor duidelik dat die ouers (volwassenes) nie Honds verstaan nie, en in hierdie geval dus nie sal kan help nie. Deur op ’n kind te fokus om die saak te beredder, word kinders (’n jong voorleesgehoor) dadelik by die verhaal betrek. Kleuters sal hulle aan die kant van die kind en Jakkals skaar en die verhaal enduit, en waarskynlik herhaaldelik, wil hoor om by die oplossing en gelukkige einde te kom. Ten spyte van Jakkals se bekommernis, slaag die skrywer daarin om met humor en kreatiewe taalgebruik die verhaal lig en positief te hou. Humor stimuleer kreatiwiteit en waar baie boeke deesdae opvoedkundige of morele boodskappe oordra, is Die hond met die stert sonder swaai ’n lekker storie met baie geleenthede vir prettige interaksie tussen voorleser en kind om aangename boek- en leesherinneringe te skep. Alle lesers het ’n paar boeke uit hulle vroeë kinderjare wat kosbare herinneringe oproep. Prenteboeke kan lewenslange boekliefhebbers skep.

This picture book brings a breath of fresh air filled with postivity, zest and energy from a sensational new pairing.

From former Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy comes the tale of a young princess who can never feel warm, a worried king and queen, a stranger in black with hard gray eyes, and a musician with a kind and good heart. Carol Ann Duffy's powerful fairy tale explores the depths of human fears, frailty and love, complemented by atmospheric paintings by acclaimed artist Catherine Hyde.
