Christmas 2017 – Book Advent – Day Nine
Day Nine
A Christmas for Bear by Bonny Becker and illustrated by Kady MacDonald Denton
Bear is having his first ever Christmas party.
He tells Mouse that there will be no presents. They will sit and eat pickles and maybe Bear will read a long difficult poem.
Surely that will do?
But Mouse thinks Bear is hiding something…
And he’s determined to find out where!
This lovely Christmas tale has a wonderfully nostalgic feel to it. Just beautiful.
A Christmas for Bear was published in November 2017 by Walker Books.
Christmas 2017 – Book advent – Day Two
Day two and it’s the rather wonderful…
Penguin Problems by Jory John and illustrated by Lane Smith
Poor Penguin is having a bad day. The sea is too salty, his beak is cold, he looks silly when he waddles and he wishes he could fly. But when he starts to look at things from a different point of view he soon realises things aren’t so bad after all.
Super illustrations by Lane Smith (author and illustrator of the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal winner There is a Tribe of Kids) accompany the thought provoking text by Jory John and capture the problems we all go through from time to time.
Penguin Problems was published on the 1st of November by Walker Books.
