The Lion who wanted to Love
We read the kids the Ravenous Beast last night, its so silly they absolutely love it! Its one of their faves.
There are 2 little books by Anthony Browne called ‘My dad’ and ‘My mum’ and they are fab as well. We’ve had the ‘Dad’ one since our first baby 7 years ago and got the mum one last year and they are big favourites in our house too. There is great attention to detail in them. Really nice ones to have.
Was in Xtra Vision in Drogheda yesterday and they are selling some cute kids books for 1.99 or 2 for 3 euros. Some are Disney storybooks but some are books about things like ‘little and big’ and ‘left and right’ and other opposites
they are really cute and would make great ‘little friends’ gifts for the kids friends or as stocking fillers. Will be picking up a few of those this week!
listening to roald dahl audio collection at the moment read by roald dahl and it’s great…has 5 of the stories, charlie and the chocolate factory, the magic finger, the enormous crocodile, james and the giant peach, the fantastic mr fox…

LIBBY – i just love kids books and have a huge range i always try and look for something that has more to the story and definately something that can spark conversation, i know especially in a group a book can go over kids heads or go down a storm…
so i love a mixture audio to allow kids to paint the picture in their mind and then the actual picture book, i feel audiobooks allow their little minds to expand beyond their reality and opens up wonderful conversations also when the see the book they too have something different to add to the story
I rem having the twits on casette years ago and even now I think I could still recite that whole book 🙂
Ds is fan of wheres wally, diary of wimpy kid and horrid henry…..oh and guiness book of records (does that count haha)
Have the box se of roald dahl, got it on ebay a couple of years ago forhalf the price it would cost here
yeah we have that too, also have the book version too which is great nice to keep the irish myths and legends following through to the next generation
oh yummy i’m raging my mom never kept my roald dahl books think sold them years ago, it’s like everything else as a kid you don’t keep then annoyed you never kept…
you can get the roald dahl box set for about 25-30euro not sure if all the books in it thought think there’s 15 in total not sure
