Dogger by Shirley Hughes

The beautiful illustrations and the involving story by renowned Shirley Hughes will help to foster a love of books to last a lifetime and will touch every child who has a favourite toy. 

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? By Eric Carle and Bill Martin Jnr

Children love the brightly coloured artwork of the Very Hungry Caterpillar and Eric Carle brings more favourite animals to life in Brown Bear. This rhythmic story is the perfect introduction to looking and learning about colours.
