Would You Ask A Dinosaur To Dinner?

One morning last week I read the children’s book called, ‘Never ask a Dinosaur to Dinner.’

This children’s book was written by Gareth Edwards and illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees.

It’s a delightful children’s rhyming picture book that shares a little boys imaginative account of what happened at his house from dinner time to bedtime.

The story contains a dinosaur, a shark, a beaver, a tiger, a bison and a barn owl.

Most young children I know love stories about dinosaurs and sharks, but don’t really know anything about beavers, tigers, bison’s or barn owls which makes this children’s book an interesting read.

The storylines creative but also educational as each animal’s appearance and instincts are explained in a very simple way for young children to understand.

This is a lovely book to read together especially at bedtime and with Teddy (bear) as he does get a mention.

So, why not read the book or with parental guidance or permission watch the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

How To Make A Fabulous Pie

I read the children’s book called, ‘Fabulous Pie,’ the other morning.

This colourful children’s book was written by Gareth Edwards and is beautifully illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees.

This story is about a bear that wants to make a fabulous pie but first he needs to find a filling.

The forest animals are happy to help find filling for the pie; berries, hazelnuts, honey and a fish.

But after all their efforts they’re angry that the bear still thinks it’s not full enough and wants something extra.

Unfortunately for them they’re shocked to learn that the something extra is them!

Will the forest animals escape or become pie filling? 

Read the book or watch the story on Youtube then tell me what happens at the end and let me know your favourite pie filling, mines apple.

Can Animals Dance?

I read the book ‘Giraffes Can’t Dance’ which was written by Giles Andreae, with illustrations by Guy Parker-Rees.

It’s a wonderful story about a giraffe called Gerald who had four left feet or legs in his case.

When all the animals at the annual jungle dance make fun of Gerald’s dancing he leaves very sad. He wished he could dance.

When a cricket helps Gerald find the music that he loves, his dancing comes naturally.

Back at the jungle dance Gerald shows off his dancing moves and impresses them all.

A great end to the story for Gerald, beautifully illustrated.

In my view it’s a lovely story that’s so familiar to a lot of children and adults alike.

If we attempt to do something that’s done incorrectly we’re either laughed at or it’s frowned upon.

Not all of us are high achievers but like Gerald we are unique we must find our own way to achieve the same thing. Just because something has been done one way does not mean that it cannot be done in another way?

So the message here is never give up until you find the music that comes naturally to you.

I would definitely recommend reading this book.

My final thoughts on this book are that it’s a lovely book for both children and adults.
