Picture Books (many picture books)

 

A CORNUCOPIA OF PICTURE BOOKS FROM NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA (and one from the UK)

 

      I made a dreadful discovery today. Somehow, while, I wasn’t looking, a great mountain of wonderful picture books has steadily grown beside my computer and, with the best will in the world, I simply am not going to have time to review them all in detail. So, what I am going to do is to list them here and tell you that every one on this list I have read and feel is a book that would enhance a library collection or an individual child’s bookcase (lucky individual child).  There are a couple I do want to give a fuller review to and will put those up later in the week.

     And apologies to the publishers who have sent them to me - sometimes a couple of months ago! There are so many books…

So here we go:
