More cute little mouses! This is a lovely story about sibling love. Mummy’s Little Sunflowers: Angela McAllister & Alison Edgson (Little Tiger Press, 2014) And even if your little one has spent time away before, it’s comforting to share Arthur’s fears and worries in the comfort of home again and again to remember that Mummy always comes back.
My children did go to nursery but I hear many parents asking why ‘first day away’ stories are always about nursery / playschool settings when they’ve chosen not to put their children into daycare at any time so this book will really suit. Little Arthur is so cute in his dragon costume and this book is aimed at little ones who don’t go to nursery as Arthur’s first day away is with his granny. This is an adorably cute story about a little mouse who is spending his first day away from mummy. I Want My Mummy!: Tracey Corderoy & Alison Edgson (Little Tiger Press, 2013) This is a very cute gift set with a low RRP of £9.99 (ISBN 978-1848958722) Although all four books celebrate a mother and child’s special bond, Little Bear’s Special Wish does specifically mention ‘birthday’ rather than mother’s day. The four stories are: The Most Precious Thing: Gill Lewis & Louise Ho Big Bear Little Bear: David Bedford & Jane Chapman Little Bear’s Special Wish: Gillian Lobel & Gaby Hansen My Mummy and Me: Tina Macnaughton. The books are small sized paperbacks, that can be easily transported without taking up much room in a bag, and would be good for toddlers to pretend to have ‘school reading books’ as they have a similar feel. Even very little ones can decorate mummy’s card with the stickers, and can proudly present their card in the morning, with stories ready for sharing. Consisting of a cardboard case with carrying handle so little ones can carry it everywhere, and sealed with velcro for easy opening, the box contains four paperback stories, a card, envelope and sheet of stickers. This is such a lovely little set for any tot to share with mummy. Me and My Mummy: various (Little Tiger Press, 2014) There’s no other word that’s as good as this.” Small children will love all the bright images throughout, and can you guess what the word is? Oh, I think the title might have given it away 😉 “It’s a word as warm as a goodnight kiss. No gender is mentioned so the pup could be male or female. A puppy bounds with endless enthusiasm through the pages (so that would be any small child too, then!) trying to think of the word that means so many different things to him/her. The illustrations for Mum’s the Word are almost edible in their deliciousness. Mum’s The Word: Timothy Knapman & Jamie Littler (Hodder Children’s Books, 2014) There is so much to love about this book – lot of different words for increasing vocabulary, sharing the love you have for a child, spot-on rhyming couplets and gorgeous illustrations. The two characters in I Love You Night and Day aren’t specified as a mother and child, but I’ve chosen to interpret them as such (although this would work just as well for fathers, grandparents, and other significant carers.) There are no genders mentioned either therefore you can take the ‘child’ (rabbit) to be male or female easily. I Love You Night and Day: Smriti Prasadam-Halls & Alison Brown (Bloomsbury Children’s Books, 2014) Although, significant others, you might also want to try to supply a lie-in or time for a nice bath too if you can! Mother’s Day is on Sunday 30th March in the UK this year, and we’ve been sent a selection of delicious picture books perfect for mums to share with their little ones.
