Classic kids' books

Books for children aged 4-6

The Whale's Song
Dyan Sheldon and Gary Blythe, Red Fox Books
Kate Greenwaway Prize for illustration
Wow! The look on my children's faces said it all. Totally entranced, they sat open-mouthed in wonder as they listened to the story. With its hauntingly beautiful prize-winning illustrations and a tale so fantastic it could almost be true, The Whale's Song is a truly special book. Don't miss it!

Winnie The Witch
Korky Paul and Valerie Thomas, Oxford University Press
Winnie's house (and everything in it) is black, but so is her cat. One of them will have to change, but which one? A visual delight, Winnie The Witch is packed with fantastic details and every witch-loving child will laugh out loud as Winnie's spells cause chaos and mayhem.

Clarice Bean That's Me
Lauren Child, Orchard Books
Smarties Book Bronze Prize Winner 1999
Highly Commended for the Kate Greenaway Medal
The pandemonium of family life is brought beautifully alive by Lauren Child's swirling chaotic pages. Jammed full of quirky illustrations and with text that you have to follow round the pages, Clarice Bean That's Me takes an angle on family life that leaves you breathless. Funny, completely different and very insightful about families, it is an absolute must - especially for those with a smelly big brother, an irritating little brother or a big sister that only thinks about boys!
