Books for Children

Bear’s Very Snowy Day by Victoria Ball (Caterpillar; €7.10) is a cushioned-cover, tactile book for toddlers.

In jaunty rhyme it tells of Bear and his animal friends as they cavort in the snow. The pull-out tableau at the end will delight.

Also for toddlers The First Snow by M Christina Butler, illustrated by Frank Endersby (Little Tiger; €8.35) tells of Little Deer’s first encounter with snow. ‘Where has everything gone?’ he wonders. An endearing book to share.
