Summer reading

As the weather improves it's good for children to spend more time outdoors, but you can still set up a quiet corner with plenty of cushions in a shady area outside and fill it with books that are new for summer UNDER-THREES

UNDER-THREES

Oxford's new Groovy Animal ABC comes from the 'bang on the door' team, and uses the bright graphics and jokey style we're familiar with from the other products. The accompanying text is in rhyme, with lots of extra, quirky information surrounding each animal depicted. The book is in large format (24.5 x 24.5cm), making it easy to read and show to groups, priced 4.99.

Also on the alphabet theme is K is for kissing a Cool Kangaroo by Giles Andreae and Guy Parker-Rees, from Orchard Books. Due out in June, this colourful, image-packed book uses rhyme and alliteration to emphasise each letter: 'C is for cat who has got all the cream/ d is for dragonfly, daisy and dream'. Itis large enough and light enough to hold up each double-page spread for scrutiny. Priced 4.99.
