​Herbie`s Big Adventure ( Age 1 to 4 )
By : Jennie Poh
Publisher : Capstone Young Readers ( September 2016)

​
A lovely Autumn read-aloud full of seasonal features and colors!
Herbie the little hedgehog is growing fast. He has been in and around his home with his mommy. Finally, it`s time for his first "foraging adventure", his mother tells him. But little Herbie is not so sure about that at first. With his mother`s encouraging words he steps out alone, into the wide world.

He does not have much time to look around, as the westerly wind whisks him up and carries him to a far away wintry land. Herbie, for the first time in his life, experiences winter. When Herbie feels cold, a great snow bear keeps him close to her ( indicates hibernation ) until another wind carries him back to his mommy.

This little adventure is ideal for tiny adventure seekers. It introduces the word "forage" and supports a conversation about foraging.The book also touches on the concepts of seasons and hibernation while keeping the little ones wrapped up in a lovely motherly snuggle. The cute little Herbie`s image and his loving mother's are sure to capture little hearts! The book also encourages children to be more independent.

Little White Fish has Many Friends ( Ages 1 to 5)
By : Guido van Genechten
Publisher : Clavis Books ( August 2016 )


What a beautiful,bubbly book ! It oozes happiness and lots of colors, Kids will love this story - coming from an aquatic wonderland - of the deep sea life of a little fish. It`s fluorescent colors and cheerful sea animals depict the joyful life of a sparkling little child.

The little fish is loved by all. He rides on turtle`s back. Plays tag with the little goldfish. Gives little slug Eskimo kisses. And plays train with the sea star family ........  An appealing theme for children presented with utter simplicity.  
"Little white fish loves to blow bubbles with octapus / Oh the bubbles they make are beautiful! / And with little shrimp little white fish dances the cha-cha!" 

Interestingly, the little white fish is very plain compared to all other colorful sea animals but he seems to have a very cheerful and a friendly character -which makes him special. And it seems that it`s the person inside him that attracts all the love and friendship. The illustrations are a visual treat, with colorful undersea life set amongst a black backdrop. Kids will want this " again and again"
