Sunday 22nd September: The Boy Who Dreamed Dragons
Albie dreams dragons... Some jewel-bright and fierce, some softly-scaled and whispery, but whichever kind they are, they stay with him throughout the night and the next day too.
But the only trouble is that no one else can see Albie's dragons. Or can they? A very special picture book debut celebrating the imagination, with an emotional and reassuring message.
Sunday 29th September: Room On The Broom
Join us as we read a story about a witch and her cat who fly happily over forests, rivers and mountains on their broomstick.
Sunday 6th October: Cops and Robbers
Join us for a fun storytelling session where we read one of the best-loved tales from the picture book dream team of Janet and Allan Ahlberg, Cops and Robbers is a riotous rhyming extravaganza focusing on the most devious criminals of London town.
Sunday 13th October: VLAD, The Fabulous Vampire
Join us awe read a book that is an uplifting and charming celebration of our differences.
Vlad’s passion is fashion. And just like every other vampire, Vlad dresses head to toe in the colour black. But unlike other vampires, Vlad has bright pink cheeks: cheeks that make him look, and feel, so different. Vlad tries to hide behind his clothes and his cape but, as it turns out, being yourself – truly yourself – is the most fabulous way to be.
Sunday 20th October: Funnybones
The Ahlbergs' delightful story of skeletons frustrated in their attempts to find anyone to scare is a masterpiece of rolling, rhyming text and gentle, beautifully illustrated comedy.
Join us as we read this book and take part in a fun halloween activity.
Sunday 3rd November: Brrr!
Wonderfully imaginative and hilariously funny, this delightful picture book from the author of Oi Frog finds a group of dinosaurs turn to knitting jumpers in order to stave off the freezing cold of the Ice Age.
Join us as we read a fun winter story and take part in a festive activity.
Sunday 10th November: The Littlest Yak
Join us as we read The Littlest Yak, a joyous, rhyming caper that teaches little ones to celebrate their own unique talents!
On the tip of the top of a mountain all snowy, where the ice-swirling, toe-curling blizzards were blowy, in a herd full of huddling yaks, big and small, lived Gertie . . . the littlest yak of them all.
Gertie is the littlest yak in her whole herd, and she's feeling stuck in her smallness - she wants to grow UP and have bigness and tallness!
But when it turns out that there are some things that only Gertie can do, might she come to see that she's perfect, just the way she is?
