These two picture books are going down a storm at story times. If you are looking for a book to borrow from your local library or one to buy as a gift, then you wouldn't go wrong with one of these.














The Foggy Foggy Forest
by Nick Sharratt

Nick Sharratt writes a mean story! They are always great. Be it a novelty pop-up book or a story in rhyme, he always pitches it just right and children love his books.

The Foggy Foggy Forest is a real treat. The reader is invited to step into the forest and to guess which characters they can see as silhouettes in the fog.

The black illustrations are printed on something similar to a thick opaque tracing paper, but once you turn the page you see the characters in full, glorious colour. Cinderella and Snow White are having a water pistol fight, there is a unicorn playing the horn and an ogre doing yoga.

by Sarah Dyer

Mrs Muffly is being very secretive!

This hilarious book, with it's zany illustrations travels with Mrs Muffly through the rest of her week until a big surprise on Sunday.
