Cat's Cookbook: A Lift-the-flap Story (Tales From Acorn Wood, 5)

Product Information

Many story books are a bit more advanced for this age group and many books designed for this age group seem to be centred around non-fiction (in our experience), so we really have enjoyed collecting them all - I will always treasure them as the first stories and series my daughter has been interested in. With sturdy flaps on every spread and rhyming stories that are a joy to read aloud, Cat's Cookbook joins the bestselling Tales from Acorn Wood which have been delighting parents and children for over twenty years. The illustrations are truly lovely and they have provided great opportunities for discussing friendship, woodland animals, and in this story, different colours (the books), food and sharing with friends. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed this book and all of the other books in the Tales of Acorn Wood series since she was about 8 months old. the problem is four pop ups are the same - books and the kiddo is not really interested in discovering tiny differences between them.

Best known for her collaborations with Axel Scheffler, each of these vivid rhyming stories is a triumph of imagination. My novel The Giants and the Joneses is going to be made into a film by the same team who made the Harry Potter movies, and I have written three books of stories about the anarchic Princess Mirror-Belle who appears from the mirror and disrupts the life of an otherwise ordinary eight-year-old. She was the UK Children’s Laureate 2011–13 and has been honoured with a CBE for Services to Literature.

He is in P1 now and still reaches for these books for a bedtime story, he has almost memoried the words. My daughter has broken flaps in previous books in this series and I wonder if it’s a matter of time before she rips one of these - I’m thinking the particularly teeny and fiddly green book. With sturdy flaps on every spread and rhyming stories that are a joy to read aloud, Cat’s Cookbook joins the bestselling Tales from Acorn Wood which have been delighting parents and children for over twenty years.This prompted me to unearth some plays I’d written for a school reading group, and since then I’ve had 20 plays published. Julia Donaldson has written some of the world's best-loved children's books, including modern classics The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child , which together have sold over 25 million copies worldwide and have been translated into over one hundred languages. The stories are on the simpler side (perhaps even a little boring for adults/older children) but I think this is where the books stand out for their specialism for babies and younger toddlers. Julia Donaldson is author of many of today’s best-loved picture books including The Gruffalo and Stick Man.
