Hi all,

We have the parents of a child getting married soon and wonder whether anybody can suggest a book aimed at pre-schoolers which I could link in?

Thanks,

There's a Topsy and Tim book about a wedding, I think, and doesnt Judith Kerr's Mog go to a wedding?

Willy goes to the wedding - well I think that's what it's called.

It's about a little boy who takes his mouse to his sister's wedding, I think!

Haven't read it for ages,

jackie.

'Lulu and the Chocolate Wedding' by Posy Simmonds is a lovely story.

I think there is a Katie Morag book about Weddings. I'll let you know if I think of any more!

Hi - we used a weddings theme at the end of last term, leading from some of the children. We managed to provide a childrens suit and a couple of bridesmaids dresses. We used wallpaper to make waistcoats and used a lot of songs e.g. Going to the chapel, I do, i do, i do and some from Mamma mia etc. alongside some stories, one of the books was called 'Yuk' (it was about a girl being a bridesmaid but not liking the dresses so the designed her own). The children loved the work we did and were eager to do lots of dressing up. We also used our bee bot with the town map but made a church shaped 3d model from a couple of boxes for bee bot to arrive at the wedding and added this onto one of the roadways. Hope this helps, will try to think of what else we used.

A lot of our staff and some parents provided their own wedding pictures for the children to look at which prompted a lot of discussion from the chhildren.

Sorry bit slow to notice this thread but there is a Maisie Middleton story about a wedding, another reluctant bridesmaid story.

One of the Alfie and Annie Rose stories by Shirley Hughes is about a wedding.
