The Marvellous Fluffy Squishy Itty Bitty 978 0 500 651933 On a Magical Do-Nothing Day 978 0 500 651797
It's the first day of school and all the animals are excited to get there – except Pascaline the bat. School is the last place she wants to go. 'Never, not ever!' she shrieks loudly. So loudly, that something magic happens... Beatrice Alemagna, one of the most admired picture book illustrators of our time, uses art and story to explore the depths of children’s feelings as few other illustrators do. In Never, Not Ever! she does something very special: she shares both the parent’s and the child’s points of view in a battle of wills over school attendance. Alemagna’s colours, her characters’ expressions, and her nontraditional selftaught style point to an inner playfulness and warmth that goes straight to the heart.
‘Truly delightful ... Alemagna humorously takes us through the difficulty of a young child settling into school ... a lovely, original approach to the theme, beautifully illustrated’ The School Librarian ‘Utterly charming ... a must-read for those about to take the next step to school’ @ bookgiftblogger ‘Hilarious and gorgeously illustrated’ @tales_for_tadpoles

Edward and the Horse Ann Rand Illustrated by Ole Eskell A 20th-Century Children’s Classic For ages 3+
First published in 1961, this charming story tells the story of a small boy named Edward who lives in the tall city of New York
Edward lives on the twenty-first floor of a large apartment block and would love a pet to keep him company. But the sign in the lobby is clear: ‘No dogs or cats allowed’. However, it doesn’t say anything about horses... With its bold mid-century design aesthetic and meandering text, Edward and the Horse will charm a new generation of readers and designers alike. Olle Eksell’s illustrations are printed here in bright spot colours to replicate the original 1961 edition as faithfully as possible. An afterword by Ruthel Eksell sheds light on the book’s genesis.

At the centre of this story is a little boy who has a small but embarrassing problem: every time he pees, a few drops dribble on to his underpants. Curious, he asks other children if they have the same issue. He soon discovers a simple life lesson: everyone is battling some kind of irritation. Shinsuke Yoshitake is a master at addressing children’s concerns and recasting them in an approachable, witty way that offers his young readers reassurance.

The Library Book Gabby Dawnay Illustrated by Ian Morris New in paperback For ages 3+
‘Glorious!’ Chris Riddell
Zach isn’t convinced that books are for him – they’re too long, they’re boring and he would rather watch TV. But thanks to his friend Ro’s stubborn efforts, Zach falls for books hook, line and sinker, and loses himself in a world of dinosaurs, princesses, pirates, football and rocketships – anything and everything the library has to offer. Through lively rhymes and dynamic illustrations, The Library Book helps early readers understand the plethora of books available to them through their local library and encourages parents, guardians and teachers to help children find books that appeal to their personal interests. Written in a catchy rhyming style by bestselling author Gabby Dawnay, The Library Book will trigger a love of words in readers of all abilities, while Ian Morris’ inventive watercolour illustrations make Zach’s emotional journey come alive. The combination is a picture book that will inspire a love of libraries, reading, books and words in even the most reluctant reader.

A History of Words for Children Mary Richards Illustrated by Rose Blake For ages 7+
A history of the world told through the prism of language, from Shakespeare to Anne Frank, Martin Luther King to Greta Thunberg
From hieroglyphs to haiku, sign language to Shakespeare, humans have invented endless ways to communicate using words. Written in a lively narrative style, A History of Words for Children explores human development through the prism of language, introducing readers to the civilizations, inventions and wordsmiths who have shaped the way we communicate. The book explores what words are and how humans communicate using spoken language and sign; the development of written scripts and writing implements, including paper; the history of manuscripts and printed books, including worldwide bestsellers and famous libraries; the process of learning another language; dialects and accents and the way they reflect our identity; the power of words to calm, inspire, rally crowds and rule nations; graffiti’s role in spreading messages; codes and invented languages; the patterns of poetry; the future of words, including emojis; and languages facing extinction.

1. The First Word
Languages can sound very different, and speakers around the globe use their mouths, tongues and throats in different ways – from click languages like Xhosa (which is one of many languages spoken in South Africa – it includes a series of ‘clicking’ sounds) to European languages like German (whose ‘rolled’ ‘R’ is produced in the back of the mouth). But wherever we live on the planet, the way we learn language is the same. Our neurons (the tiny electronic messengers in our brains) fire up and make new connections and pathways. As we’ll go on to discover later in this book, the skills of reading and writing were invented many, many years later after humans learned to speak – and they take a little longer to master. Still, by the time we are 7 or 8 years old, we can recognise hundreds of characters and words. Fast forward ten years, and we are able to understand even trickier texts and ideas. In fact, our flexible human brains are designed so that we never stop learning.
