In the Town
Benedict Blathwayt
Oxford University Press
A lovely book showing a close-up view of life in the town. The busy pictures will encourage lots of conversation and can visited over and over again. A book that could be included in many topics.
Knuffle Bunny
Mo Willems
Walker Books
Knuffle Bunny is a picture book that we would highly recommend. Any child who has ever had a favourite toy will identify with the toddler in this tale. The plot is simple: Trixie loses bunny, finds bunny and then exuberantly says her first words-"Knuffle Bunny!!!" The fun comes from the details. In an innovative style that employs dappled black-and-white photographs of Brooklyn as backdrop to wickedly funny color cartoons.
Laura's Secret

Little Tiger Press
When Laura and her little brother Tommy make a kite they can't wait to watch it fly as high as the stars. But a kite would need to be very special to fly that high. And are Laura and Tommy brave enough to ignore the horrible boys who laugh at them? A sensitive handling of bullying.
