AnonyMouse_5970 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Most things by Julia Donaldson, but not ALL Yes, I agree. Most are fab, but some are not so great! (I'm just jealous of her enormous talent! ::1a ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_22106 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks for your input a few new ideas there - Shark in the Park is certainly one of ours for joining in with the repetitive refrain & rhyming at the top of their voices!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_19782 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Cait just checking - is that a dislike of Superworm because I'm not a huge fan of that one, but one of my members of staff is, and I'm not a huge fan of Tyranosaurus Drip either.

AnonyMouse_22106 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'm finding as I'm getting older that some books are getting really difficult to read to a group, as the text is all over the place - or is that just me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loathe commotion in the ocean /rumble in the jungle etc......not sure if that's age or just good taste :lol: However we have noticed that the children we now have (younger age and more eal/sen) are less able to access the more wordy texts (not unsurprising!) and I have even found myself reading things like dear zoo to the whole group to great delight....even from the more able children 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_53966 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Shark in the Park is a favourite at the moment, closely followed by the Gruffalo and Going on a Bear Hunt Kamal Bahra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_43806 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Don't forget "Shark in the Dark" and "Shark in the Park on a Windy Day". Our children love then so much and asked for them at every opportunity so we decided to put them away for a while to preserve the sanity of the staff! Will bring them out again soon though!
