Eddy and Teddy by Gus Clarke |
| Growing up can be challenging when you're a little child, and familiar, loved faces reassure you that everything is ok in the world. Not only does this story gently explore the insecurities of starting school for the first time, but the gentle humour on each and every page is appreciated by adults and children alike. With understanding and acceptance of natural childhood insecurities, we read about what a difficult day Teddy had at home when Eddie went to Big School for the first time, with tears and tantrums... Hmmm, makes you wonder just who had the difficult day and who was as good as gold after all... Just like the teddy bear in the story, children will find this story familiar and reassuring, and may even be able to start to take a few first tentative steps into other people's shoes to be able to see some things from other people's point of view. There are a few early childhood psychological developments explored in this book's simple text. But the author has an even bigger goal on his mind - delightful humour - such that you will not be able to guess where he takes you in the end. |

The Whoosh of Gadoosh |
| The air sizzles with excitement when kids catch sight of Gadoosh and her wild purple hair. As her floppy inside-out shoes leave the ground, the whooshing caper begins and magic buttons fly everywhere.
Although it�s a mystery where Gadoosh comes from, best friends Jaimy and Jake think they know exactly what she needs. Follow along as they lead their classmates and perplexed teacher on a topsy-turvey hullabaloo of an adventure to find a home for Gadoosh.
Wacky as Dr. Seuss and reminiscent of Mary Poppins, this enchanting tale whisks us into a world of love and laughter. The delightfully dazzling illustrations perfectly capture the whimsical yet powerful message of Gadoosh. |
