Protecting, caring, raising and sharing FAMILY

by Patricia Hagerty

"On the savannah, whatever the weather,

The animals must stick together."

What a special book! Beautiful illustrations that demonstrate the power of family and how each creature cares. It explores the incredible habits of animals and their families, from diving dolphins to marvellous manatees, and explores the bonds that connect animal families and highlights how they nurture and support one another.

The pages that reveal different horizons across the world are stunning!

Gordon's Game by Gordon D'Arcy and Paul Howard

This book is all about a boy called Gordon. He played for Ireland's rugby team and won games with his friends, Bob and Rob, who are famous Ireland rugby players. I recommend this book to Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 because if you love rugby, you will love this book. It's really exciting when he scores for England!

A Piglet called Truffle by Helen Walters 

 

When Jasmin sees a tiny unloved piglet, it is close to death, I wondered if she would be able to save it! I thought the book was very good because it was a really exciting adventure story with lots of surprises along the way. I liked the funny details, like pig napping!

Shiny Pippin and the Broken Forest by Harry Heape

I think anyone from 7 to 107 would enjoy this book! It is about a young girl called Pippin, and she goes on an exciting, funny and entertaining adventure. She has special powers, where she can talk to animals. I would recommend this book for Years 3 and 4 because it's hilarious, and the author speaks to you outside the book. He also writes poems in the middle of the book when it gets scary. I would definitely give it 5 stars.
