After studying our inspiring book on birds, Birds of a Feather, it seemed natural for us to play a few games with birds. Budster is very fond of birds at the moment, and if he takes after us, there is a good chance he will stay this way. His favourite birds are...
Since Sunday, we have been starting and finishing our days with the same book – Birds of a Feather by Bernadette Gervais and Francesco Pittau. This gorgeously illustrated book won Budster’s heart from the first look. It comes to us from France, where the talent...

Books by Julia Donaldson are among our favourite on the shelf. The plots are invariably interesting and understandable for Budster, and I enjoy the lively rhythm, humour and dialogues which invite the possibility of turning reading into performing. Many of her stories...
