Board books

Wide awake Jake

By Rachel Elliot; illustrated by Karen Sapp

Jake is supposed to be sleeping, but he is wide awake.  He goes downstairs to talk to his parents and they send him back up to bed to try all sorts of different things to get to sleep.  Will any of these tricks work, or will Jake stay awake all night?  A fun board book for nights when going to sleep is just a little bit hard for the younger members of the family.

Recommended for ages 2+

Sleep tight, little mouse

By Claire Freedman and Dubravka Kolanovic

As a little mouse gets ready for bed she and her mother go through their evening routine.  They put away the toys and share a wonderful bedtime bath, before the little mouse ends up tucked up in bed.  A wonderful little book for getting younger children ready for bed – and the touch and feel panels make it a wonderful book to touch and hold.

Recommended for ages 18 months+

That’s not my teddy…

By Fiona Watt; illustrated by Rachel Wells

A little person is trying to find their teddy, but all the teddies in this book seem to be the wrong one!  Some have fuzzy paws or furry ears, and others have squashy patches or rough paws.  This is a touch and feel book to keep the youngest readers occupied for ages.

Recommended for ages 18 months+
