Madmum Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hi! This may seem odd :blink: but every year, for whatever class I work in, I buy a new book for the classroom collection on my birthday! :1b As this is rapidly approaching, can anyone recommend a new or recent title suitable for school nursery? Cheers Madmum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 That is a lovely thing to do :1b I have a book buying 'habit' - we have books 'coming out of our ears' but I just can't resist my latest purchase was 'The Journey Home from Grandpas' from Barefoot books - it comes complete with a CD - super! 'My' children love it!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Last one I bought was called The Three Little Aliens and the Big Bad Robot, as you may think it is based on the 3 little pigs story. Our children are beginning to love it, especially the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 We had a visit from the Children's Librarian of our local library last week, she read Socks by Nick Sharratt, it was fantastic and the children loved it. I'd never seen it before but will be buying it shortly :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
