Sunday Times If you haven't discovered the brilliant wit and inventiveness of award- winning Emily Gravett yet, then this superbly illustrated rhyming adventure is a great place to start.

Lush foliage and delightful characters abound in this cautionary tale of overenthusiastic neatness that delivers its message of environmental preservation with subtlety and humour. Thereafter, we watch Pete, see what unfolds, and then draw a greater understanding of him and his setting. This enables her to photograph objects, change their size and move them around the page until she is happy with the result. The contrasting use of white instead of green emphasises the destruction of the machines and everything seems lost until a man comes along who starts to plant new seeds.

These cookies help provide information on metrics the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic source, etc.As earth is reclaimed by nature, the message of our responsibility to all living things is reinforced. With warm, rich illustrations, bursting with humorous detail and amusing rhyming text, the tale skips along and is great to read aloud. You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods.

The authors of In The Forest use the pop-up elements to emphasise what has vanished and what is left.However, the wicked looking stainless steel secateurs with which he is cutting off flowers whose colours ‘didn’t quite match’, should warn us that this is an animal whose scouring and scrubbing may lead to a drastic minimalist solution to nature’s inherent untidiness. However there is a message of hope in the final page where regeneration of growth has begun and the digger is enveloped by the greenery.

Your selection was perfect for our children and what really made the difference was your ability to engage with each child, discuss their interests and help them to choose a suitable book based on your extensive knowledge of the books you were selling. It would be interesting to find out if any other behaviour traits found in the wild animals are also found in the fictional badgers.Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. Yourself and Bob are much cherished in our booky world and I personally really appreciate everything that you do. I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly!
