Gerald Rose 'Albert And The Green Bottle'

  

 

'Albert and the Green Bottle' by Elizabeth and Gerald Rose, came all the way from Canada this week to join my other favourite vintage children's books. I am so glad it did as it is a lovely book, illustrated by my favourite illustrator Gerald Rose. It is a story of a family who's son builds a boat to sail around the world. On becoming ship wrecked he writes a message in a bottle which is eaten by a giant fish, that his father subsequently lands and the search for Albert is on.

Beatrice Alemagna II

Gizsels De Verre by Seuil Jeunesse illustrated by Beatrice Alemagna, I love the top illustration of someone peering into someones head, looking at the thoughts and dreams.

Pomelo

Another joyful item in my luggage from Paris is one of a series of books about 'Pomelo' written by Ramona Badescu and illustrated by Benjamin Chaud. the story and illustration has beauty, humour, sensitivity and joy. Ramona Badescu is a wonderful author who has also worked with the wonderful Delphine Durand. Thank you Maral for my lovely trip to l'ecole des loisirs bookshop.

Dans La Foret Du Paresseux

One of my many treats of last weekend was a chance to go children's book shopping with Maral. I bought the new amazing pop-up book by Anouck Boisrobert and Louis Rigaud Dans la Foret Du Paresseux. Freya is enchanted indeed everyone is.

Mr Peek by Kevin Waldron

I do love children's books and this one is a wee gem, Mr Peek and the Misunderstanding at the Zoo by Kevin Waldron with fantastic pictures, humour and a lovely lesson in how you are and how you influence your world. http://www.kevinwaldron.co.uk/
