Cave Baby by Julia Donaldson & Emily Gravett (book + CD)
Cave Baby’s lucky – he lives inside a cave with his mum
(who’s good at painting) and his dad (who’s very brave). Everything is boring … then suddenly it’s not, for in the corner of the cave he
finds a brush and pot! ( Uh-Oh! What happens when Cave Baby re-decorates the cave walls? )
By the author of The Gruffalo
Family Forest by Kim Kane & Lucia Masciullo
People often ask who’s in my family. Well …
Families come in all shapes and sizes. Half-sisters, big brothers, step-parents ... While some kids have a family tree, others have a family forest. ( This is not your average family tree – blended families rule! )

The Last Viking by Norman Jorgensen & James Foley
Young Josh was very brave.
He’s not afraid of anyone or anything – except maybe the dark and the sound of ghosts whistling in the trees at night. Pirates worry him a bit, of course, and so do boy-eating dinosaurs, and monsters under the bed. He’s also just a little afraid of dragons and vampires.
But other than those few things, Josh was as brave as a lion.
Sort of. ( A tale of being bullied – with a Nordic twist )
Keep reading kids!
