New Fiction and Picture Books
There are some great new titles hot off the press. All of these have teaching notes attached in the front or back cover.
The Pocket Dogs and the Lost Kitten
A very cute story from Stephen Michael King (who is coming to our school this year!) about compromise and sharing.
The Big Fish
A fun Pamela Allen book with lots of repetition and onomatopoeia.
William Bligh
This picture books explores some of Australia's colonial history - a fascinating read!
New Year Surprise
Explores the traditions of Chinese New Year through the eyes of a small boy. Great for celebrations and exploring different cultures.
Cyclone
Jackie French and Bruce Whatley's latest offering on Australian natural disasters. An amazing tale of the destructiveness of cyclones, but looks at the community coming together to rebuild and their resilience.
