Books for children
Award-winning illustrator Debi Gliori takes the well-known children’s game and transforms it into a laugh-aloud romp. At eight o’clock in the morning Mr Wolf’s slumbers are rudely dashed by the village noises, plus three giggling pigs asking him what time it is. The day gets worse as, on the hour, every well-known fairytale character he encounters asks him the time. But there’s a big surprise when he finally gets home. As usual Debi Gliori’s wonderful artwork hits all the right notes for age three and upwards.
Edited by the renowned Wendy Cooling this delightful collection of poems houses an eclectic mixture of lively verse from A to Z. John Keats, Robert Louis Stevenson, Emily Dickinson, are side by side with modern poets like Benjamin Zephaniah, Michael Rosen and Roger McGough. Stylishly and humorously illustrated by Piet Grobler, this is definitely a family book for keeps.
