A fully illustrated alphabetical first dictionary for 4-5 year-olds. A fresh new look for the Oxford Very First Dictionary which introduces children aged 4+ to the features of a dictionary in an appealing way. The dictionary has over 300 familiar words, each with a simple definition and an illustration which reinforces the definition. Each page is clearly laid out so it is easy to pick out the main features - the alphabet down the side of the page, the letter of the page you are on in red. A lovely extra for this age level is the illustrated opening letter - A shows a juicy apple, B shows some buzzing bees. There is also a fully illustrated section at the end with vocabulary on topics related to first learning, e.g. colours, numbers, shapes, days and months, as well as a list of common words and a simple introduction to grammar with a list of verbs or 'doing words'. This is a great introduction to the world of dictionaries. For downloadable fun word games, puzzles, and activities, go online to the www.oxforddictionaries.com/schools website.

Tired of chopping fruit, cubing cheese, fishing rice cakes out of a backpack and generally fielding incessant snack requests? Then Snack, Please! is the book for you – all about the joy of making and sharing food, together! Gertie LOVES snacks: sofa snacks, bath snacks, bedtime snacks … it’s a snack life! She abandons almost every mealtime in favour of snacking. Her daddy can’t help but feel frustrated – how can he convince her to try new food? Or to even talk about something other than snacks? A day in Granny's allotment might just provide all the inspiration that's needed. In this funny, warm companion title to Carry Me!, Georgie Birkett explores small children’s exasperating eating habits and, once more, through a very endearing father-daughter mouse duo, she perfectly captures the ups and downs of parenting life.

A perfect book for Mother's Day, Carry Me!, captures both the joys and the struggles of having young children, and shows that we all need a little break sometimes. Wilbur refuses to walk anywhere. He loves to be pushed in his buggy; it's such a relaxing way to see the world. And he really loves to be carried – whether it's on his mummy's shoulders or getting a piggyback, it's simply his favourite way to get about. But as Wilbur gets bigger and continues to pick up extra props when he's out and about (a useful stick, anyone?), pushing Wilbur up hills in his buggy gets harder and harder. Poor Mummy's back is getting quite sore and she is feeling so very tired. So tired, in fact, she might just have a little rest in Wilbur's buggy... A sunny, funny book that all parents and children will enjoy sharing together.
