A board book based on The Lorax for Dr. Seuss's youngest
fans-perfect for encouraging a love of nature! The Lorax shares his
love of animals and plants and need to "speak for the trees" in
this simple, sturdy board book about caring for the environment.
Printed on recycled board and written in rhymed verse, it's an
ideal introduction to the story for toddlers and preschoolers too
young for the classic picture book. Now everyone in the family-even
pre-readers-can take pleasure in the frolics of the Brown
Bar-ba-loots, Swomee-Swans, and Humming-Fish and embrace Dr.
Seuss's timely message about protecting the planet!
Big Cat Phonics for Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised has
been developed in collaboration with Wandle Learning Trust and
Little Sutton Primary School. It comprises classroom resources to
support the SSP programme and a range of phonic readers. The 7+
books are designed for children aged 7+ who need more practice to
acquire phonics skills. We all have feelings, some feel nice,
others do not. All feelings tell us something and all are
temporary. Spend a bit of time with them all in this lovely poem
and begin to get more comfortable with them all. What have your
learned about your feelings?
The creators of A Nantucket Nanny cross the water to Martha's
Vineyard, offering smiles for all ages in this new collection of
limericks.
As expectation mounts on Christmas Eve, a boy hears sleigh bells
ringing and looks out of the window in time to see Santa arrive.
Santa comes down the chimney (this is a fun picture as the book is
tall and thin) and delivers the presents while pretending he does
not notice the boy watching. Off he rides with all his favourite
reindeer, and it's time for Christmas to begin! Told in verse
that's perfect to recite aloud with all the family gathered around,
this poem has stood the test of time since it was first written
almost 200 years ago.

A beautifully illustrated novel in verse about a young Indian girl
who tackles the taboos around sanitation in her village. In
Latika's village in rural India, there are no toilets. No toilets
mean that the women have to wait until night to do their business
in a field. There are scorpions and snakes in the field, and germs
that make people sick. For the girls in the village, no toilets
mean leaving school when they reach puberty. No one in the village
wants to talk about this shameful problem. But Latika has had
enough. When a government representative visits their village, she
sees her chance to make one of her dreams come true: the
construction of public toilets, which would be safer for everybody
in her village. Burying the Moon shines a light on how a lack of
access to sanitation facilities affects girls and women in many
parts of the world. Key Text Features author's note illustrations

Shadows on the wallNoises down the hallLife doesn't frighten me at
all Maya Angelou's brave, defiant poem celebrates the courage
within each of us, young and old. From the scary thought of
panthers in the park to the unsettling scene of a new classroom,
fearsome images are summoned and dispelled by the power of faith in
ourselves.Angelou's strong words are matched by the daring vision
of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose childlike style reveals the
powerful emotions and fanciful imaginings of childhood. Together,
Angelou's words and Basquiat's paintings create a place where every
child, indeed every person, may experience his or her own
fearlessness.Celebrating its successful 25 years in print, this
brilliant introduction to poetry and contemporary art features
brief, updated biographies of Angelou and Basquiat, an afterword
from the editor, and a fresh new look. A selected bibliography of
Angelou's books and a selected museum listing of Basquiat's works
open the door to further inspiration through the fine arts.
