The Princess and the Giant by Caryl Hart & Sarah Warburton
The Princess and the Giant is one of our favourite picture books from those that were published last year. Not only does the story have a very independent minded, helpful and determined heroine but it also advocates the enjoyment that stories can bring and the joy of learning to read.

We love Zog! He’s a dragon who wants to do well at school but has problems when he tries to learn new skills. However, his story is great for showing that with perseverance you can become successful and good at something. The story also shows the development of his friendship with Princess Pearl, she’s not the kind of princess who wants to sit around the palace in…

Peekaboo 123 / Peekaboo ABC by Gareth Lucas
Peekaboo 123 and Peekaboo ABC are gorgeous, sturdy, brightly coloured, lift the flap books. They are perfect presents for a new baby, introduce concepts throughout the toddler years and would make a wonderful addition to a nursery or reception classroom. Each book introduces a concept and new vocabulary in a fun way and we love Gareth Lucas’ bright, bold illustrations which…
