What We’re Reading This Week

| September 28, 2013

Some of our favourite books at the moment are The Tiger Who Came to Teaby Judith Kerr, Choo Choo Clickety Clackby Margaret Mayo and Alex Ayliffe and the lovely Tell Me the Day Backwardsby Albert Lamb.

The Tiger Who Came to Tea

The Tiger Who Came to Teais a lovely story of a girl and her Mummy who are having tea when the doorbell rings. Who could it be? A tiger! I love the pace of the story which keeps you wanting to turn each page and the classic illustrations are large and bright.

If your child has an interest in travelling and vehicles the brilliant Choo Choo Clickety Clackhas pages devoted to trains, aeroplanes, motorbikes, bicycles, cars, sailing boats, hot air balloons, ferry boats, racing cars, buses and cable cars. Each page is full of activity relating to the different modes of transport.

Tell Me the Day Backwardsis a delightful story of Mummy bear, Daddy bear and Baby bear as they tell the story of their day backwards before bedtime. As well as being a great way to encourage story telling with your children it also has a very calm tone and makes a perfect bed time story.
