Timmy Needs a Bath (Timmy Time)
Egmont Books Ltd
Oh Timmy! Timmy! Timmy! He got
mud all over himself at playtime and
then he made the nursery dirty too!
Harriet, his teacher pointed to the
bathroom, but did Timmy meekly
comply? Oh no! But you know, when
you're dealing with Harriet, you can
run, but you can't hide! So in the
end, she prevailed. (Sorry Timmy!)
Talk With Me
Stella Blackstone and Caroline Mockford
A pleasant and gentle introduction
to children and animals from around
the world. With lift flaps, it focuses
on the crocodile, duck, panda, wolf
and parrot, but there are lots of
other birds and animals within the
illustrations that you can point out
to your child.
Did Timmy kick and scream?
Surprisingly, he didn't. He found out
that having a bath was not so bad
after all! Nice, funny and very
colourful book! We dare say it will
help to reassure any child who
doesn't like bathing that it's not that
bad!
(Well done Timmy! You smell nice
now! Keep it up!)
Each animal is set in context - so the
crocodile is by the river, the duck is
in a farm etc. The children in the
book ask a set of questions that will
motivate your child to find the
answers by lifting the flaps.
At the end, the focus points back to
the children, who round up with a
song - so you may need some
musical instruments for the final
pages of this book, or you may need
to improvise! It's quite an interactive
book. Happy reading and singing!
