BOOK OF THE WEEK
CHILDRENS PICTURE BOOK 3+

OLD BEAR'S BEDTIME STORIES BY JANE HISSEY
A new picture book to treasure featuring beloved characters from the Old Bear series. The endearing illustrations will continue to enchant a new generation of children. Gentle soothing stories full of delightful adventures, old friends, theatre, the seaside and a circus make it the perfect book to share with little ones before they go off to the land of dreams. A beautiful present suitable all the year round from Christmas to Birthdays and Christenings.

IS IT CHRISTMAS YET? BY JANE CHAPMAN
A little board book with a soft squidgy cover perfect for preschoolers who keep asking that familiar question, Is it Christmas yet? Featuring only a Daddy bear and his son it will appeal to single parents as well. I really like, leading up to the big day, that they work together to avert disaster making the little bear forget about what day it is when it actually arrives! Very appealing in the run up!

ON A SNOWY NIGHT BY VARIOUS AUTHORS
A charming collection of animal winter tales by a selection of top childrens authors. Will the young Arctic foxes find food? Can a zebra help Santa? Perfect for little animal lovers everywhere and great for bedtime stories with its adorable illustrations. Also perfect for teachers to discuss in class and inspire creative writing stories before Christmas. Fascinating facts also in the back.

GEORGE
BY ALEX GINO
 This is a gently story of a young boy George who knows she's really a girl.
A transgender book for kids that gives support to those who need it and informs those who have little knowledge of this area which included me! Sensitive, thought provoking and heartbreaking. A simple but powerful message for acceptance and about not being afraid of who you are which will, I hope, invite much discussion and appeal to a wider audience.
