Hairy Tales Of Bella The Sheep

Bella the sheep brings the obvious advantage for a book of this kind, since wool is the whole point and here it sits on the page ready to be touched. The story runs to picture book length in paperback, with the hair element fitted into the artwork so a child has something to return to on each spread. It reads well aloud, and the sheep gives a natural opening for talking about farm animals and the sounds that go with them. The short version: • A sheep character with touchable hair set into the pages • Paperback format at a comfortable picture book length • Farm animal subject matter that suits early vocabulary work • Read-aloud pacing with room for a child to join in For preschool children and the adults reading with them, published by Booktopus and available from Boipoka.
