What The Jackdaw Saw


I read the children’s book called, ‘What the Jackdaw Saw.’

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Nick Sharratt.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book, that’s written also in sign for deaf children.

The story tells the tale of a Jackdaw and what he can see.

When the Jackdaw flies over the seaside, farm, town, forest, he names all the animals he can see and invites them all to his party.

Everything’s going well until he flies into a thunder cloud, but then everything turns black and he bumps into a tree.

So, what happened next?

Will the Jackdaw still have a party?

What do you think?

To find out what happened to the Jackdaw, either read the book or watch the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

It’s a great book that all young children will enjoy. It encourages friendship and the learning of sign language.

Is There A Shark In Your Park?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Shark in the Park,’ one afternoon.

This book was written and illustrated by Nick Sharratt.

It’s a comical rhyming story about a boy called Timothy Pope and what he views through his new telescope.

At the park each time Timothy Pope looks through his new telescope he thinks he spots a shark, and cries out, ‘There’s a shark in the park!’
When his dad comes to collect him, he reassures Timothy that there are no sharks in the park and they leave to go home; but are they sure, are there really no sharks in the park?

This is a wonderful rhyming story with great illustrations, that I’d recommend reading with young children.

My final thought’s on this book is that it’s a great story for young children, colourful and fun.

And remember; look out for Sharks in parks!

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me if you think Timothy Pope saw a Shark in the Park?
