Book Sniffing With Dad


NEW VLOG POST 

Steven Lenton interviews Director of "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" Robin Shaw about his brand new picture book Me and My Dad published by Hodder Children's Books 





Here is a list of some of my favourite reads for very little book sniffers which might just be perfect for sharing on Fathers Day (or any other day)! #BookSniffingWithDad 




“A is for Adventure” in this supremely stylish nautical themed introduction to the alphabet. The bright, humour-filled illustrations will be the perfect trigger to inspire a love of learning.

Perfect for pre-school palaeontologists! This little girl has her sights set on a pet that is slightly larger and considerably scalier than the norm. A joy to share anytime.
