Thank you @chickenhousebooks for sending us Panda at the Door by Sarah Horne (@sarahbhorne9) I’ve just started reading this with my 7yr old, who happens to be a big panda fan - so it’s a hit already! Follow Pudding the panda who lives at Edinburgh Zoo, whose heroine is Mary Poppins and who would love nothing more than to have her own family to care for. Meanwhile, Callum is having a hard time at home; his parents keep arguing, his sister is annoying and to top it off, he gets a certificate to adopt a panda for his ninth birthday, when all he wanted was Lego. However his life is about to change when Pudding turns up on his doorstep. It’s going to be Pandamonium! This is the first in a new warm-hearted series, aimed at 7+ year olds. It’s a big-hearted family adventure, that explores themes of childhood; anxiety, family break-up, bullying and friendship. We can’t wait to follow Pudding the Panda 🐼 #thebookwormbaby #sarahhorne #chickenhousebooks #pandaatthedoor #booksfor7yearolds #booksforyoungreaders #pandaadventures #bookreviewersofinstagram #kidsbookreviews https://www.instagram.com/p/CQLZSmLnFCF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Check out the latest new book release from Thames & Hudson... How to be an Art Rebel Written by @thebenstreet Illustrated by @jaydanielwright Published by @thamesandhudson I really loved this book! As a parent who home educates, I love informative books that are fun and encourages conversations with my daughters and this did just that. Leo the cat who is the art gallery guide, introduces young readers to portraits, abstract, Surrealist, ancient sculpture and other art periods. It’s written in a fun and easy way for children to understand the differences between styles. It’s playful, fun and the layout works well for young readers. A fab book that will help children see art from a different angle! #thames&hudson #howtobeanartrebel #benstreet #jaydanielwright #artbooksforkids #artforkids #thebookwormbaby #understandingartforkids #booksforyoungreaders #booksfor7plus #introductiontoart #booksforchildren https://www.instagram.com/p/COARadhnbeC/?igshid=b9htn28714or

We are knights and castle mad here, especially my 6yr old! So when this book arrived, we were very excited to read it. The Castle The King Built Written by Rebecca Colby Illustrated by @mrtomfroese Published by @nosycrow in collaboration with @nationaltrust We loved the illustrations and the flow of the rhyming text, as the book introduced the different jobs that people would have within a castle in medieval times, such as masons, carpenters, bakers and minstrels. I love the style of this book and I really hope we get to see more like it!! #nosycrow #nationaltrust #thecastlethekingbuilt #rebeccacolby #tomfroese #childrensbooks #medievaltimes #castlelife #thebookwormbaby #learningbooksforkids #educationalbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CLmWNVanu9B/?igshid=k9gwengnifjn

This book couldn’t have arrived at a better time; I have a fussy eater and I am so sick of preparing beige food!! Which Food Will You Choose? Written by Claire Potter, author of Getting the Little Blighters to Eat Illustrated by @ailie_busby Published by @bloomsburychildrens This book aims to encourage children to be open-minded and develop an adventurous attitude towards food. The author suggests reading the story before playing the game in real life at the supermarket. There’s also some great advice at the end to help parents with their fussy eaters. It’s colourful, fun and I love the illustrated foods as well as the ideas the children in the story get up to. I’m definitely going to be trying this with my fussy 3 year old!

So I may have shred a tear over reading this lovely book.. Love By @corrinneaveriss Illustrated by @kirstibeautyman Published by @quartokids A lovely book for young children starting nursery or school, or who may suffer with separation anxiety. Love will help remind them that they are still loved even when they are away from home or even when a family member may have passed away, love doesn’t disappear. A beautiful heart-warming story. I think this made me tear up as I was reminded of my 3yr old whom has just started nursery, and after a week of unrest we found that drawing little hearts on our hands, it helped remind her that I still love her even if I’m not there. #corrineaveriss #kirstibeautyman @quartokids #love #picturebook #bookreview #thebookwormbaby #abookaboutlove #familylove #childrensbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CKWQmkZHWYD/?igshid=t0ioo0fx7tui

Jo Loring-Fisher takes us on a journey to a snowy landscape with wolves and a big bear; where we join Sophy as she learns to overcome her shyness, finding friends and the courage within her to help her when she returns to school.
