Favourite books for babies & toddlers... A


That’s Not My Dinosaur – Fiona Watt.


Every double page of this book features an interesting texture to feel, such as bumpy teeth or slippery flippers, as the reader explores the surface of a toy dinosaur.


The Elephant and the Bad Baby – Elfrida Vipont & Raymond Briggs


The Elephant takes the Bad Baby for a ride and they go ‘rumpeta, rumpeta, rumpeta down the road.’ They help themselves to ice creams, pies, buns,


etc. All ends well as the Bad Baby learns to say ‘Please’ and his mother makes pancakes for everyone.


For Toddlers


Say Hello to the Animals – Ian Whybrow


Look who’s hiding under those sticks. Say hello to the fluffy chicks. Follow the friendly puppy as he scampers around


the farmyard saying hello to all the animals. Toddlers will love to stroke the soft, velvety animals and to join in making their noises.
