Wonderful illustrations add a greater depth to the descriptions of the animals on each page. This series of book is such a fasntastic way to introduce younger readers to the noises of the world they live in. Hear the noises made by the Komodo Dragon and Marine Iguana- like nothing I had imagined. In this noisy compendium, animals from islands around the world have their “say”! From Madagascar to Flores to Sumatra- there are some amazing islands and animals to discover. The first book Sounds of the Skies- features bird sounds from around the world. This is the second book in this series and it is as much fun as the first. I could see this being a favourite for Christmas gifting!! A new and fun way of learning! Sounds of the Wild by Moira Butterfield and Stephanie Fizer Coleman, Published by Little Tiger Not shying away from technical vocabulary or the sometimes gross things that happen to our bodies- children will learn plenty of interesting facts while investigating each page.

Illustrated using comics, diary style pages and with bright bold colours, there is so much to appeal to children. It is a unique look into animal lives, the human body and the physical world. I was sent a sampler of this which went down a treat with my kids so when the proper book arrived, we all dove in together and loved exploring the pages. A Day in the Life of a Poo, A Gnu and You by Mike Barfield and Jess Bradley, Published by Buster Books We talk a lot about the Golden Age of Children’s Fiction…but what are we saying about the remarkable non fiction titles being published for children? I have been completely fascinated by the titles I have read recently and can’t wait to get them into schools for children to enjoy them.
