The Detective Dog

Product Information

It works on several levels: chubby toddler fingers will love to explore the chunky cutaways, where Nibbles has chewed; older readers will enjoy the fun of Nibbles making a guest appearance in fairytales from “Little Red Riding Hood” to “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”. Sweet Pizza by GR Gemin (Nosy Crow) is a charming story that tackles big issues – immigration, heritage and history – with a light touch. Continuing the theme of stories within stories is Nibbles: The Book Monster by Emma Yarlett (Little Tiger), about a monster who loves to munch books and chomps his way furiously into other people’s stories, represented as actual mini books within the book. We build and maintain all our own systems, but we don’t charge for access, sell user information, or run ads. Monk's illustrations incorporate paint and collage to depict boldly caricatured participants in farmyard tableaux.

Or, if you’re looking for hands-on books to keep the kids entertained, discover our list of the very best children’s activity books, from stickers to colouring and crafts.Back to stories-in-stories, The Bone Sparrow is an outstanding novel from Australian author Zana Fraillon (Orion). A repetitive book full of continuous phrases which may encourage the children to join in with the book. A glorious collaboration by a master of the art and a rising star… Donaldson sets out the rhyming story with characteristic panache, perfectly complemented by Ogilvie’s bright and busy artwork. With its tents that sleep 50, bad food and guards of varying dispositions, it’s the only world he knows, apart from the stories he hears in the camp, and through Jimmie, a girl from “Outside” who sneaks under the fence to meet him.

I think the book reflects that dogs don't have to be just a pet, they can be good therapy for children in supporting them. On finding the books Ted, the thief, is shown to the library when he can take as many books as he likes. The show is accessible to D/deaf children and their families by using clever dynamic captions and incorporated British Sign Language. We understand that not everyone can donate right now, but if you can afford to contribute, we promise it will be put to good use.Written by the brilliant Julia Donaldson and stunningly illustrated by the multi-talented illustrator and printmaker Sara Ogilvie, Detective Dog is a fast-paced celebration of books, reading, libraries, and the relationship between a little boy and his rather special dog. It’s a story shot through with Vere’s trademark irreverent wit, which will keep adult readers amused through multiple readings. When the children had finished decorating their badges we played at being detectives and set them challenges to find various objects we had hidden around the site.

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.To make the badges we started by cutting some wood with a hand saw either into rectangles or discs, depending on which shape the children preferred. Parents may empathise with the final page, featuring the dazed and exhausted father slumped in an armchair and nursing a glass of wine. Following his previous attempts to find a mouse (to chase) and the moon (to say good night to), Max is now on a mission to learn to fly.
