Nursery World - Children’s Books

From family diversity to the power of imagination, these ten books will be a hit with children. By Meredith Jones Russell

All About Families

by Felicity Brooks (Usborne Publishing)

We all have a family, but it doesn’t necessarily look the same as other people’s, or like those on TV, in films or in books. All About Families is a helpful guide to different families from all over the world. Whatever size or shape, languages spoken, occasions celebrated, food eaten or house lived in, children should find something to relate to in this celebration of diversity and difference.

Picking Pickle

by Polly Faber and Clara Vulliamy (Pavilion Children’s)

As the longest-standing resident of his dogs’ home, Pickle conducts a guided tour to help pick the perfect pet. Will you choose hungry Harvey, playful Boo-Boo, intelligent Dumpling, who can bark in five languages, or Petunia Wuffles-Winstanley, the poshest pooch in the home? Polly Faber’s fun text is brought to life by Clara Vulliamy’s playful illustrations in a touching story with a surprise ending.
