Apologies, I've never been a diary person and it seems that I'm just as bad when it comes to posting blogs, I just can't seem to get round to it. One of my colleagues has suggested that I post something I've been working on for the Information Services Librarians - an annotated bookist of suggested picturebooks on different topics for parents and children. So here we go with the first part.
Babies
Does a kangaroo have a mother too?
Eric Carle
Do animals have mothers too? Of course they do — just like me and you! Meet the little joey whose Kangaroo mother carries him in her pouch, and the cygnet who rides on the back of the mother swan, just two members of Eric Carle’s animal family. Animal babies with their caring and affectionate mothers come to life in Carle’s vibrant collage. The playful question and answer text invites children and adults to read aloud together. Repetition of key phrases helps preschoolers take the first step towards reading readiness. The gamelike format makes it easy to discover more about the world of nature and to learn the common names of some familiar — and not–so–familiar — animals. At the back of the book there is a special page listing the correct, but sometimes surprising names of animal babies, their parents and groups. Ages

Daisy and the Beastie

McDuff and the Baby
By Rosemary Wells
When Fred and Lucy bring home a baby, McDuff is worried! Ever since McDuff moved in, it's been just the three of them. Is there really room for one more in their family? This title presents the story of McDuff and his family for the very young children.
Little Bat
By Tania Cox
Little Bat is reassured by other rainforest animals and, although very nervous, finds that she can fly.
The world is full of babies
By Mick Manning
This book looks at different types of babies - including polar bear cubs, baby bats, piglets, and humans - and how they grow and develop.
Just a little something to help parents explain the arrival of new babies to the family.
Cheers and hopefully soon I have a photo for Flickr.
