AnonyMouse_19762 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Now it's quite possible (likely even) that I am the last to discover this wonderful book - but just in case I thought I would recommend - it has the most fantastic rhyming text and unmistakable humour and I love it - more importantly so do the children! 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Is it by the 'Tadpole' author/ess ? Cant think what it's called by the tadpole turns into a frog and eats the butterfly? Quote

Excellent reviews from parents/readers on Amazon can see why will try and track it down locally - I spend far too much money with Amazon! Quote

(I laughed out loud in waterstones when I bought it....got some funny looks , but then that;s normal for me 2 Quote

AnonyMouse_73 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I'm not familiar with that one, so I will look out for it also. But for a lovely counting book by the same author, try 'how many legs'. Quote

AnonyMouse_26037 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I'm going to look at it! Love book recommendations. On the subject of books where do you get cheap books for your settings from? In school we really struggle. Amazon isn't possible and discovered today that the Book Depository is blocked (no idea why). We can use The book people but there's a minimum order of £100. We just want to replace copies of old favourites: Gruffalo, Large Family, Winnie the witch etc - our current copies are disintegrating! Quote
AnonyMouse_23964 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 We use scholastic books. We run the book club for parents and use commission earned to buy books. Every little bit helps. Quote
AnonyMouse_2157 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Another great book is 'It's a book' by Lane Smith - a wry take on book versus technology! 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_2157 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 and I think this one has been mentioned elsewhere but it really is great fun to read.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qewZF-JaexQ Quote

Wondered why a minimum order of £100 from The Book People - I use them sometimes - usually to buy packs of books to split for end of year pressies and have never had to spend a minimum amount........

AnonyMouse_1469 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Oi Frog! Is curently on sale as part of the 'buy one, get one half price' at Waterstones. I have never had to spend a minimum amount with book people............and you can buy all the ones you want from Amazon ( and get some money back through easyfundraising !) 1 Quote
AnonyMouse_19802 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I promise you won't regret it! :1b Got it! Read it! LOVE it! Looking forward to Sharing it! Thanks Sunnyday - like someone else once said - "you've made my day Sunny!" : ) ( Also as the children did'nt get to see the completed life cycle...?!?!? this will be fun compensation ) ! 1 Quote
