Sebrina Says:
This poem collection is dedicated to Poppy and Peanut, two beautiful grand-babies. Peanut is a grand-baby in the sky, so, in memory of little peanut, 25 % of book proceeds go Spring (springsupport.org.uk). Spring is a charity that supports families through baby loss - from any stage and at any age. It really is a truly valuable and much needed service which has touched and helped many families in Dorset. The support from this wonderful book will give Spring more resources to help others in need. This book was written in 2020, during lockdown. The author took some time to write poems that feature many animals like Mouse, Frog, Rat, Tiger and Squirrel. The whole family love this book. If we are short on time, we can just read just a page or two and when we have longer, we love to read them all. The children love to look for new details each time we open the book and enjoy the illustrations. The drawings are eye catching for my three year old, but also engage my 11 month old, who adores the mouse! Even my older two enjoy reading the poems aloud to the younger ones, as it’s so captivating. 34 somethingNew THE PARENTING MAGAZINE FOR DORSET FAMILIES
A bright book, full of cheer - the exploration of emotions helps young children to understand and identify their own feelings. There’s a brave mouse, a panicked squirrel who is crying, and a not-scary tiger who really loves cuddles and hot tea. This is a fantastic addition to any book collection, and the fact that it supports a much-needed local charity is the icing on the cake. You can buy your copy from: prettypug.co.uk/product-page/ tigers-really-aren-t-that-scary for just £6.99.
