Scratching your head over what to read next to your preschooler? Yawning while reading to the little one? Well, help is on the way. We don’t want you nodding off as you read to Junior and we also don’t want Junior bored to tears as you pick any old random children’s book to entertain him.

Idries ShahTitle: The Boy Without A Name

By:
Margaret Read MacDonaldTitle: The Girl Who Wore Too Much

What’s it about : Thai folktale, retold by Macdonald, is about a girl who receives too much and is vain as a result. Invited to a dance, she wants to look the prettiest but has a hard time deciding what to weight. Donning everything, she sets off only to realise she is unable to move because of the weight of the clothes and jewellery. She misses the dance and due to exhaustion and disappointment, realises that being materialistic is pointless.

Call Number: English 398.2 MAC -[FOL]


By:
Lola M. SchaeferTitle: Follow Me, Mittens

What’s it about :Follow Mittens as he takes a walk and follows butterflies and almost gets himself lost. Simple illustrations but ideal for eager new readers with short and straightforward sentences.

Call Number: English SCH

 

By: John and Ann HassettTitle: The Three Silly Girls Grubb

What’s it about : Remember that old story about the troll that lived under the bridge? Same story only retold brilliantly using three sisters and an ‘ugly’ boy who has never been to school and lives under the bridge. The twist? When the oldest sister agrees to give him her jelly-donuts only if she can plant kisses on him first and this leaves him running away and never missing school again! Watercolour illustrations of most of the actions fill the pages.

Call Number: English 398.2 HAS -[FOL]

Janet Morgan StoekeTitle: It’s Library Day

What’s it about : We’ve kept the best for last. Are you having trouble getting your little one interested in the library? Then, this is the ideal book for him. Stoeke, in playful rhyming text, describes as kids discover new books that fit their interest. Eye-catching illustrations will make your little one beg for the book to be read one more time!
