Hello One of my favourite books is "Shaun's Wellies" published by and available from Norfolk Traveller education Service. This is a beautifully illustrated, high quality lift the flap book about Shaun who cannot find his wellies. He is off to playgroup and needs them very badly. He looks every where for them; under the churns, behind the trailer, in the back of dads truck, but no luck. He goes of to playgroup without his wellies and is really quite sad. However - when he gets to playgroup he realises that his wellies were there all the time and he goes of happily with the other chiuldren to join in with the fun of pond dipping. I love this book - as do the majority of early years workers working with Gypsy/Traveller children - because although the central charicter is a Gypsy boy and the location is a Gypsy site, the central theme is wellies and playgroup. It either reflects a childs culture and background or introduces a different culture and background without it being in your face or tokenistic !! The flaps are all items that would be found on a Traveller site and prepositional vocabulary is introduced. Its a fab book and all pre-school settings should have one !! (and no I dont work for Norfolk Traveller Education Service!!) Sarah
