About A Hole In The Zoo


One day last week I read the children’s book called, ‘Hole in The Zoo.’

Hole in the Zoo was written by Chloe and Mick Inkpen.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the story of zoo animals that come from the house at Number 2.

With its wonderful storyline it’s a great book to introduce zoo animals to young children.

It’s also great to read together before visiting a zoo so they’d be able to recognize the different animals instantly.

In my opinion this book is a good teaching aid. As not only will they learn the different days of the week, but they’ll also learn about the different types of animals that live in a zoo.

Although there are no numerical numbers to recognize, you could still interact with your child by guessing how many animals have come from the house at Number 2, before counting them together.

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.

It’s a great book for young children very educational.

Remember, reading and learning together is fun.

What Is A Fred?


I read the children’s book called, ‘Fred,’ the other day.  

This children’s book was written by Mick and Chloe Inkpen. 

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a little dog named Fred. 

Fred can sit and stay and catch a ball all day but when his owners call out ‘Fred,’ he doesn’t understand what a Fred is. 

What does it mean? 

What is a Fred? 

He understands sit and stay but not a Fred! 

Will he think it’s another word for play, sit or stay or will he work out that it’s his actual name. 

It’s a wonderful book with an adorable ending that children will love. 

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.

What is a Wibbly?

I watched Wibbly Pig on CBeebies the other morning with my grandson.

The picture books were written and illustrated by Mick Inkpen. The children’s television series is based on these books.   
                                                  
The animation looks dated like it’s just come out of an old picture book however, it works really well and has a very catchy theme tune.

This is a delightful children’s animation series based on a little pig called Wibbly who gets up to all sorts of things with his piggy friends.

The piggy characters are voiced by child actors which give the series a really cute touch, there is a lot of singing and the storyline's are fun.

My favourite character has to be Wibbly he is funny, creative and has fun with his piggy friends.

It’s definitely worth watching, the children will love it. 

In my opinion it is a wonderful children’s programme.

My final thought: I’d like to have Wibbly as a friend wouldn't you?

Watch the series and tell me what you think?
