Snap! went Chester by Tania Cox

Bored Chester the crocodile wanted something fun to do, so when a fly kept buzzing around his ear, Chester went SNAP!!!  Chester thought this game was so much fun that he decided to snap at the other creatures, until…something went SNAP back at him.

A colourful and engaging picture book to read aloud to your children. The rhythmic and repetitive texts make this book easy to read. The use of bold words in capital letters brings attention to the word, building anticipation, helping children understand that something exciting or important is about to happen – “SNAP” adds a point of excitement, encouraging the reader to emphasise the word loudly. As the word is repeated throughout the book, children begin to anticipate it, sparking memory and engagement.

This book introduces the reader to new animals, different reactions and can open conversations about how our behaviour can affect others around us.

The Greedy Goat by Petr Horacek

When the greedy goat decides she has had enough of eating herbs and grass all day, she takes a walk around the farm to discover the dog’s breakfast, the cat’s milk, the pig’s potato peels and even the farmer’s pants. However, it turns out goat’s adventurous eating makes her quite ill.

The Greedy Goat offers a humorous and engaging way to explore themes like curiosity, consequences and healthy eating habits. The text and bright coloured illustrations make the book easy to follow.

The book encourages the reader to predict what the goat might eat next, to predict how the goat might be feeling after eating the wrong food and it leaves you wondering if the goat really did learn her lesson.
