Four great picture books – we discuss the runners up and this year’s winner. Also a rant about Sex and the City 2 and Coraline.
The Quick Review
Bottoms Up! - Jeanne Willis’s sparkling rhymes and Adam Stower’s fabulous illustrations win the Red House Children’s Book Award in the Books for Younger Children category. A call to nudist action that results in mass mooning in our house, but we love it anyway.
The Baby Dragon Tamer – Jan Fearnley’s illustrations are pure magic in this gentle story about the dragon who goes hunting for treasure.
Crunch Munch Dinosaur Lunch - Our 3 year old can’t get enough of this book about a tough tyrannosaurus and his clingy baby sister, although we found it mildly grating.
A Very Strange Creature – Sweet tale of the animals who find a baby in the jungle. Pleasant enough for very young children. Age 1+.
