Books for children

In the hot plains where coconuts grow and contented animals munch, Buffalo is distressed with an itch he can’t reach. It takes a most unlikely little creature to solve the discomfort — and forge a forever friendship. With bouncy rhyme and bold, flat colour spreads, this is a book that toddlers will want to read over and over.

Florentine and Pig Have a Very Lovely Picnic by Eva Katzler, illustrated by Jess Mikhail (Bloomsbury €13.03 HB). When Florentine and Pig decide on an exciting sunny-day picnic their plans are dashed because they have no apples — the vital picnic ingredient. But clever Pig discovers an apple tree through his telescope, so all is well. Or is it? An easy storyline and quirky illustrations, the book includes simple recipes for children to make — with help. Suitable for age five and upwards.
