Our December 2021 Ages 0-2 Book of the Month

This book really is a shining star of a Christmas book to share at this exciting time of the year. There is nothing nicer than the time of day when you pull your little one on to your lap and curl up for a special story. Introduce your loved one to reading and words through this simple lyrical, rhyming text, that will also gently lull any wide-awake children into a lovely slumber after a day of stimulation. Youngsters love to be read to, so dive in and start reading aloud (and get ready to practice your animal sounds!). In particular I like the varied range of different textures to touch and feel on each page that adds an extra layer of enjoyment and makes for a great sensory experience.

A lovely introduction to the joys of reading in a perfect little package; great to snuggle up with during the Christmas countdown, and one that is already proving popular with customers.
