Children’s books
Instead of preachy do-good messages, the book focuses on contrasting pictures to illustrate what’s better. ‘Squabble less’ depicts two youngsters squabbling over a teddy bear and, on the opposite page ‘Share more!’ shows two youngsters sharing sweets. Perfect for three-year-olds.
by Niki Daly (Frances Lincoln; €14.22 HB) tells of a small boy’s smothering overdose of affection from his besotted aunts. After their recent visit he’s covered in lipstick and has had enough. ‘No kisses!’ he shouts. Trust Mum to provide a solution. Laugh aloud fun for over-kissed four- to six-year-olds. Daly’s illustrations hit just the right note.
