| Charlie and Lola's Things, by Lauren Child |
|
These two chunky board books in the Charlie and Lola series each focus
on one simple concept – one deals with shapes, and the other with
‘things.’ The images are bright and colourful, and the pages generally
only have two or three key words on them. Examples of the ‘things’ that
Lola likes are ‘found things,’ ‘messy things’, ‘furry things,’ and
‘ouchy things.’ The shapes include, ‘star shapes, ‘crescent shapes,’
‘flowery shapes,’ and ‘fiddly shapes.’ Between them, both the shapes
and the things provide a lot of interest and are a good starting point
for conversation about shapes and things with your child.Buy now |
