Recommended Books for Preschoolers from Cape Town’s Child
Wild Alphabet by Mike Haines and Julia Frolich
Animals literally jump off the pages in this illustrated pop-up book featuring 26 wild animals. Young children can discover facts about these creatures with the help of the pop-ups and moving parts. With each animal on its own spread, there is enough space to inform children where each creature lives and what they eat. Some of the animals might be unknown to South Africans, but it’s still a fun way to learn the A-Z.
Jack and the Beanstalk AND Little Red Riding Hood by Nick Sharratt and Stephen Tucker
Each book is a funny re-telling of a classic fairy tale with lift-the-flap surprises on every page. Children from as young as three will enjoy the rhyming text and colourful illustrations. In thius version there are no threats from the Giant “to grind his bones to make my bread”, and both Red Riding Hood and Grandma survivie the ordeal – so it shouldn’t frighten little children. Older children will love the humorous take: “when they found Gran in the wardrobe she said: ‘Don’t you agree, Red Riding Hood needs glasses if she thought that wolf was me!’” Each book comes with a CD so that little ones can also listen to the story in the car.
What the Ladybird Heard by Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks
Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len have a cunning plan to steal the farmer’s fine prize cow. Among all the noisy farm animals lives a tiny silent ladybird. This beautiful glittery creature (little fingers will love to feel her sparkly shape) is so quiet that she hears the two crafty robbers plotting to raid the farmyard. The ladybird has a plan of her own and urges the animals to put their mooing, quacking, neighing and baaing to cunning use. The crooks get so confused that they end up getting caught. The book comes with a CD, read by Alexander Armstrong.Book details
