For the KIDS

        

Magic Beach

This is the most adorable, tiny book and young and old alike will love it.  Reminiscent of days at the beach, you can almost smell the sea air and taste the salt on your tongue.  Delightful.

   

The Bear in the Cave
by Michael Rosen
(Bloomsbury)

From the author of much loved children's classic, We're Going on a Bear Hunt, his latest offering doesn't disappoint.  With the same repetitive nature that children love, the story follows Bear from his cave to the city and back again.  A CD of the story read by the author is included with each copy.
