Books for children

Bee The Book: Farm Friends by Debora and Hilary Tobin, is a big, interactive book to share with three- to four-year-olds.

The oval apertures are for an adult or older sibling to look through and mimic the creature on each page ­— imitating the sound of each farm creature.

Fold-out flaps, visible only to the reader, feature big-print jaunty rhymes to read aloud. The strong, colourful illustrations are by Bernadette O’Neill.
