Autumn Picture Books https://www.thecuriositycupboard.co.uk/2020/09/02/autumn-picture-books/ https://www.thecuriositycupboard.co.uk/2020/09/02/autumn-picture-books/#respond Wed, 02 Sep 2020 18:21:11 +0000 https://www.thecuriositycupboard.co.uk/?p=1154

As we move into autumn, it’s time to refresh our book shelves. Now is the time to gather together all all your favourite stories that conjure up those feelings of crisp mornings, hushed walks, falling leaves and snuffling hedgehogs.

Seasonal books are such a joy to include in your bedtime reading, morning baskets and read-alouds. They mark the turning of the year with such beautiful stories, and illustrations full of autumn colours. By introducing little ones to the changing of the season and all that it brings, these books become the perfect springboard for nature walks, weather studies, art projects and sparking their curiosity of the world around them.

These have been curated by being very mindful to the needs of a UK bookworm! So each book should be findable from any good bookshop, or ordering from your local library. The Gruffalo Nature Trail is an exception when it comes to libraries, due to it being a sticker book! 

I would love to hear which books are gracing your bookshelves this autumn! Do join in the conversation here in the comments or with the Cupboard community on social media!

Starting School https://www.thecuriositycupboard.co.uk/2020/08/17/starting-school/ https://www.thecuriositycupboard.co.uk/2020/08/17/starting-school/#respond Mon, 17 Aug 2020 14:32:22 +0000 https://www.thecuriositycupboard.co.uk/?p=4340

Starting school can be a big step for little people. New routines to learn, people to meet, and places to navigate – it can be quite daunting and create some first-day nerves. Stories are a great way to help prepare children – teaching them what to expect, and providing lots of opportunities to chat about any questions and worries. 

These are some of my favourite picture books, perfect for those starting nursery or big school!

For all those fascinated by Ancient Rome, I hope this list will help you step back in time and experience Roman life! I have chosen a mix of fiction, non-fiction and activity books that cover a range of age groups – from simple texts like The Goose Guards for younger readers, to Gladiator which would be perfect for your tween/teen reader.

Each book has a clickable link, so do take the time to take a closer look! Unfortunately The Orchard Book of Roman Myths is currently out of print. I’ve included it as it’s such a lovely book, and can still be found in libraries or second-hand!

“Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” – Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

The days are long and bright, and summer is in full swing! This time of year always reminds me of this wonderful quote from The Wind in the Willows – the image of rowboats and picnics, and lazing your way down a babbling river. It got me thinking about all my other favourite books where animals take centre stage! Those books where the animals tell their own story, and you are drawn into their wonderous world. With such memorable characters as Wilbur and Charlotte, Stuart or that mischievous Mr Fox, it didn’t tell me long to pull together this list of 21 chapter books – perfect for independent readers or read-alouds! 

Which ones are your favourites? 

I hope you enjoy this list! Do let me know which animals stories your little bookworms are loving! Drop a comment below, or come chat with me on Instagram and Facebook!
