I Can Only Draw Worms
By Will Mabbitt
Who would have thought a book about
worms (because that’s all the writer/
illustrator can draw) could be so funny?
And yet it is. It’s a simple story, in fact
there’s not really much of a story, but it
will have children age three to six years
chuckling away. It will also make them feel
better about their own drawing skills, or
lack of. Available from Bookazine, $112
Alphabet Street
By Jonathan Emmett
This stylish book offers a fun way to learn
your ABC’s. Open each page to see the
shops on busy Alphabet Street and lift the
flaps to take a peek at what’s going on
inside. Who’s buying a new suit, and who’s
painting a fox? Laugh at the rhyming text,
all while learning the letters of the alphabet.
Available from Book Depository, $116
The Great Dictionary Caper
By Judy Sierra
What happens when, on a quiet afternoon,
all the words take themselves off to
Hollywood? Having found their freedom
the words get together with friends and
have a jolly good time, until the words
disagree and begin to fall apart.
Available from Book Wise, $165
