Books for Children
A small boy’s night fears are sensibly dismissed when he finds that each scary creature has better things to do than scare him. In another story, a tired ginger kitten looks for a place to sleep, but there’s always something to disturb his slumbers. Finally he finds a comforting, lap and all is well. These beautifully told and charmingly illustrated tales will captivate even the most vociferous bedtime protesters.
Set in pre-historic times, Minnow is a small boy who longs to go hunting with the men, but is told he’s too young, so he sets off on his own. Swept down-river on a branch, which also carries a young bear, the two become friends and good hunters in the undiscovered land. When they grow a bit older and more skilful, Minnow and his bear are welcomed joyfully when they find the delighted family. With colourful, detailed illustrations to pore over, this is a fascinating book to share, or as a read-alone.
