Are You Sitting Comfortably byLeigh Hodgkinson

World Book Day, the greatest annual celebration of books and reading on the planet, takes place tomorrow and the good news is that all school children can get a token to be exchanged for a special free publication in their local bookshop.

BIG BOOK Of My World illustrated by Kali Stileman (Doubleday; €11.93 HB) is the definitive book for toddlers at the discovery stage. It begins with shapes, colours and basic counting, progressing to sounds (and what makes them), town-scapes and the sea, graduating to games and challenging puzzles such as spot-the- difference and odd-one-out.

The Big Beach Boogie by Jenny Arthur (Caterpillar Books €10.66 HB) is a big, colourful, musical counting book to welcome summer.

IGGY AND ME by Jenny Valentine (Harper Collins; €5.92). It’s end of term and little Iggy is worried. “Who will look after the hamsters and the guinea pigs?” she asks.

WHEN the World is Ready for Bed by Gillian Shields (Bloomsbury €12.63 HB) is just the book to help round up reluctant sleepyheads.
