Tundra Books The ACB with Honora Lee
Book SynopsisPerry's mother and father are busy people ... they're impatient, they're tired, they get cross easily. And they think that only children, like Perry, should be kept busy. On Saturday mornings Perry and her father visit her gran, Honora Lee, at the Santa Lucia rest home, but Gran never remembers them. 'Who is that man?' Honora Lee asks when Perry's father leaves the room. After movement class is abruptly cancelled, Perry is allowed to go to Santa Lucia on Thursday afternoons. She discovers her Gran has an unconventional interest in the alphabet, so Perry decides to make an alphabet book with the help of Honora and the others. Soon everyone is interested in Perry's book project. The ACB With Honora Lee unfolds with characteristic warmth, quirky, surprising humor and a rich cast of 'residents'. The story is a meditation on kindness and patience and acceptance; that of the very young and the very old. It's a story that will resonate with echoes of recollection for many -- from Perry's endearing perspective on the adult world to the embracing kindness of those who care for the elderly.

Child's Play International Ltd Esperando al bebé/Waiting for Baby
Book SynopsisCuando eres pequeño y esperas por algo, te parece una eternidad, ¡especialmente si se trata de un nuevo bebé! Hay tanto que preparar para su llegada: ropa, juguetes y un lugar para dormir. La llegada de un nuevo miembro a la familia es emocionante, pero la experiencia también puede ser estresante y confusa para los hermanitos. Enfrentarse a las nuevas situaciones y emociones que se presentan puede ser todo un reto. Esta serie de cuatro libros de cartón trata sobre el tiempo de espera de la llegada de un nuevo bebé, la emoción de la llegada en sí y el comienzo de esa relación tan especial entre hermanos. El texto sencillo y las vivas ilustraciones han sido cuidadosamente diseñados para estimular el diálogo entre el lector adulto y el niño. When you’re small, waiting for anything can seem to take a lifetime, especially when it’s a baby! There is so much to sort out for the new arrival – clothes, toys and a place to sleep. A new addition to any family is exciting, but the experience can also be worrying and confusing for siblings. Coping with the new situations and emotions that arise can be very challenging. This series of four board books deals with the anticipation of waiting for the new baby, the excitement of the arrival itself, and the beginnings of the special relationship between siblings. The simple conversational text and lively illustrations are carefully designed to encourage further dialogue between reader and child.Trade ReviewA toddler observes and asks questions about the new baby in this story, part of a series designed to help new siblings adjust. “Why does the baby always have milk?” the toddler wonders as her mother breastfeeds. The child’s constant smiles, even when things get a little rough (“Why is Baby crying? Can we make it stop?”), and the cozy family home are in keeping with the book’s positive focus. Also available: Waiting for Baby , You and Me , and Look at Me! Up to age 3. * Publishers Weekly *Anticipating an addition to the family is both exciting and daunting for young children so this sensitive story was most welcome. It is part of a series - Waiting for Baby, You and Me and Look at Me - and stimulated much discussion about the different emotions, both pleasing and anxious, associated with a new arrival. It encouraged a very quiet and shy pupil to contribute and share her family secret! * Carousel *“These four books in the New Baby series are just right for toddlers awaiting and adjusting to the birth of a new sibling.
