Life is hard as a cat and one little moggie is really not happy. Despite being a pampered house cat, there is lots to complain about. The sun won’t stop moving, the food is not up to standard, someone keeps stealing his spot, there’s not much to do and a terrible monster makes the most horrific noise. And don’t get him started on the nosy squirrel outside the window. Will anything cheer up this crabby cat…
I’m sure we’ve all thought at some point that could life be better and this funny insight on life from a cat’s point of view is paw-some fun. Over the course of a day, the witty and sarcastic narrator bemoans a life that is far from purr-fect, in fact you might say it is a cat-astrophe.
We can all remember our first sleepover and this delightful picture book easily took me back to my own sleepovers as a child. Whether it be going to a friend’s house or a friend coming over, hanging out with a friend for the night is a big deal and should be a very exciting time. But when things don’t quite work out as planned it can quickly turn into a disaster.
Ramona’s friend Gracie is coming to stay the night. It’s their first sleepover and Ramona has been busily planning all of the things they are going to do; build a den, read stories, dance, play games, stay up all night and of course, have a midnight feast. It will be the best sleepover in history. But when Gracie arrives she is fussy, demanding and nothing goes to plan. With a friendship hanging in the balance, will mum be able to stop the girls from having the worst sleepover in the world… Wishyouwas: The Tiny Guardian of Lost Letters; Alexandra Page, illustrated by Penny Neville-Lee3/11/2021
Ever wondered what happens to all those letters that go missing in the mail? I’ll let you into a secret, they’re not really lost, they’re in the hands of some very clever creatures who are just trying to figure out where they need to go.
London, 1952, Christmas is fast approaching and the streets are thick with smog. With her mum, an airmail pilot, stuck in France, Penny Black is staying with her busy postmaster uncle. It’s a fairly boring and lonely existence in the post office until Penny spots a surprise visitor late one night. At first, it looks like a rat trying to steal a letter. But Wishyouwas is no ordinary street rat, he’s a cute, talking creature with a very important job: ‘Sorter - Second Class’. And he’s not the only one. Beneath the streets of London live a secret Bureau of sorters, gatherers and deliverers whose mission it is to find lost letters and to reunite them with the intended recipients.
What do William Henry Perkin, Maria Ann Smith, Garrett A Morgan and Wilson Greatbatch have in common? They all discovered or invented something that arose from a mistake.
It would be awesome if everything we tried worked out right but often this is not the case. Mistakes happen, things go wrong and we can be left feeling flustered and frustrated. However, this doesn’t mean that we should stop trying because every so often something incredible happens. Colours and fruits, traffic lights and toys, medicines and medical devices, all began with a little slip-up…
Hot days are pretty much the norm in Australia but that doesn’t mean they are not without their problems. And chooks in the sun equals eggs over done!
Sunny weather means bad news for the hens in the hen house. Daisy, Audrey and Ellie May are supposed to be laying egg-cellent eggs but the baking sun is causing all sorts of problems and the chooks’ feathers are all a fluster. Eggs are coming out boiled, fried and scrambled and unless Farmer John can cool his chooks down they’ll be leaving for good…
Sarah Allen is back with another adorable non-fiction book. Jumping Joeys is the follow up to Busy Beaks and I love it.
As the day draws to an end, many creatures are preparing for a peaceful night’s sleep. But not everyone is ready for bed, marsupials are just waking up. Sleepy eyes open, bodies unfurl, legs are stretched and heads appear out of pouches. Under starry and moonlight skies, a hive of activity is about to begin as some of Australia’s favourite furry friends go about their day… |
