Emilio in the Snow

Emilio in the Snow


Written by Alice Jackson and Silvina De Vita, 'Emilio in the Snow' is a beautiful rhyming picture book that's perfect for adults to read to their little ones and great for early readers to get their own teeth into.

In this adventure Emilio (who's a 'pocket toy') is introduced to the magical wonder of the snowy outdoors by his owner James, as they sledge, throw snowballs and make that all important snowman.

The third adventure in the 'Emilio' series, Emilio in the Snow continues in the same entrancing vein as it's predessors and doesn't disappoint.

Written in a deceptively simple and engaging style by Alice Jackson, the rhyming text is admirably complemented by Silvina De Vita's delightfully memorable illustrations, combining together to create a welcome addition to any child's bookcase.
In short I liked Emilio in the Snow a lot - but don't just take my opinion for it, why not click on the link below and check it out for yourself.

Emilio in the Snow is now available on Kindle

Who's a Sleepy Cat?

I don't know how it is weatherwise where you are but right now as I look out of the window it's snowing pretty heavily and it's absolutely freezing cold.

That's why this picture of a cat sleeping in the sun seemed just right for this post - oohh the promise of a bit of sunshine!

Anyway, for everyonewho wanted a new colouring in picture of a cat, pop over to the colouring page and there you'll find our chilled out friend.

February Already

Gosh it's February already!It's true time really does fly, January's gone and hopefully spring is just around the corner. On the picture book front I'm just putting the finishing touches to a brand new story about a sneezing elephant and starting on a great idea I've got for a series about....but I'll tell you more about that when it's all begining to gel together .
Here on the site, in the next few weeks we'll be starting a new review page where if we see a great picture book from another author we'll tell you all about it. Hopefully it will be fun and informative to.
Also a big thank-you to everyone who's contacted me and said they love the colouring page and could they have have more pictures - especially more cats.  Honestly, I'm on the case and they'll be a new colouring in picture very very soon.
