Charlotte Voake

Charlotte Voake has been around for ever: since my grown-up children were small, anyway. This is another splendid addition to the canon. Melisssa has an odd pet. Her other friends do, too. A warthog, a worm, and elephant, a mole...... All unsuitable in their own way. Most unsuitable of all is a crocodile. What will happen when they all go round to tea to see him? A delightful tale that's just scarey enough for the three year old who will. I'm sure, love this book.

A cute story about a dad who takes his two young children to a bridge to watch trains pass underneath. It's so funny how loving trains is a universal childhood experience.

Such a fun and silly book about outlandish pets. My only complaint is that the alligator doesn't actually eat Kevin, Bertrand, Melissa, Thomas, Betty, Arthur, Caroline, Simon, and Peter.

Do you every wonder what bees do all day and where they go? Follow a little boy as he becomes a bee and answers all of his questions.
The beautiful illustrations and simple text give the reader a basic understanding of bees by allowing their imagination take them into the world of the bees. This book is a great read a loud for ages 4-7. It would be great to follow it with a nonfiction book about bees.
