books for Father's Day, Dinosaur Roar!, Father's Day, My Dinosaur Dad, Ruth Paul, Scholastic

The third offering this week, My Dinosaur Dad has a simple rhyming text very reminiscent of Dinosaur Roar! by Paul and Henrietta Stickland.

‘This Dad is tall, this Dad is squat, This Dad is huge, this Dad is not’ and so on.

For a toddler or a child with a short attention span this would be the book about Dads to get! It ends with an ‘ahhh’ moment:

‘This Dad is gentle, this Dad is kind, This Dad’s the best…this Dad is mine.’

No need to say anymore than that, is there?

Goodnight Sleepy Babies, written by Janet Bingham and illustrated by Sebastien Braun (Scholastic)

Goodnight Sleepy Babies, Janet Bingham, Scholastic, Sebastien Braun

‘This says it is perfect for bedtime,’ announced Jess. After reading it she declared it to be correct.

71AtEKFG7XLGoodnight Sleepy Babies has just come out and is a lovely read for little people with its bedtime theme and gentle rhyming text:

Goodnight penguin chick, in your comfy seat. You’ll never feel cold on Daddy’s warm feet.

Some of the words are italicised  – ‘It’s time to snuggle down and wait for sleep.’ They become words for children to spot and join in with – especially so if it involves an action.

The illustrations are rich with sunset colours and it is a great book to read while your own babies are nestled under your arm. Mother’s Day is not so far away – this would be a good purchase.
