Nosy Crow
Picture books about snow
We’ve had our first snow of the season which has prompted us to read some of our favourite snowy picture books. They include snowballs, snowy journeys, hibernation, penguins and cold, snowy nights. We’d love to hear your snowy picture book suggestions too.
Christmassy Picture Books
Are you reading any of your Christmassy picture books yet? We’ve read several new ones but have yet to get out our favourites from previous years. These are the books that we enjoyed reading last Christmas and include cats, rabbits, nursery rhyme and fairytale characters and an adorable big bear.
Picture book monsters and witches for Halloween
We’ve rounded up some of our favourite picture books about witches and monsters for Halloween. If you have any scary, monsterly, witchy, ghostly suggestions we’d love you to add them to the comments.
Audio books for long journeys
Audio books are a great way of passing the time on a long journey. Lots of our favourite picture books have great accompanying CDs so if you are looking for in car or in flight entertainment here are some that we really like. There are so many more that we could have included, we’d love to hear which…
The Princess and the Presents by Caryl Hart & Sarah Warburton
Spoilt Princess Ruby learns a valuable lesson when her present demands cause the palace to collapse in The Princess and the Presents.
Favourite picture book Dads for Fathers’ Day
In celebration of Fathers’ Day we have chosen some of our favourite picture book dads to share with you. Our choices include bears, birds, single dads and Stick Man!
Princess Penelope and the Runaway Kitten by Alison Murray
Princess Penelope and the Runaway Kitten is a fun story with a tactile element that allows a child to trace the wool trail that the kitten leaves.
Snow Bunny’s Christmas Wish by Rebecca Harry
Snow Bunny’s Christmas Wish is a lovely story that celebrates the qualities of kindness and giving at Christmas. The illustrations are gorgeous and silvery glitter foil on each picture beautifully evokes the cold, wintery atmosphere.
Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam by Tracey Corderoy & Steven Lenton
If you come and visit us you are very likely to have a copy of Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam waved under your nose. My daughter received it as a birthday present and is very keen to show it to anybody who is likely to sit down and read it with her.
Pip and Posy: The Snowy Day by Axel Scheffler
It’s snowman weather again! Pip the rabbit and Posy the mouse are having fun in the snow but they just can’t agree on what to build! Can they find a way to resolve their differences and play together nicely in Pip and Posy: The Snowy Day?
