    An Australian children’s author and illustrator that caught my attention this week is Nick Bland, with his books ‘The Very Cranky Bear, ‘The Very Itchy Bear’ and ‘Some Dads’.

    It's nice to meet you!

    Continuing on my mission to ferret out some fantastic children’s books, I had a delightful box set of alphabet books cross my path this week which I must share.

    Bedtime in our household can often become a battle of the wills. Not because we struggle to get our 3 year old into bed, but because our little pre-schooler is such a bookworm we can never accomplish lights off without a huge debate on how many books to read.
