JUNE #PICBOOKBC QUESTIONS

The countdown is on! 4 sleeps until our June picture book party! This month we are celebrating ‘cat’ themed picture books with special guest Jacqueline Harvey. We will also be celebrating her purrfect picture book ‘That Cat’, beautifully illustrated by Kate Isobel Scott .

‘An utterly delightful rhyming book, purrfect for the whole family.

Nothing is quite like a cat. 

There are brat cats and fat cats, rat cats and mat cats . . . but if there’s one cat everyone knows, it’s THAT CAT’

Here are the questions for the June #picbookbc chat!

Q1. What’s your favourite ‘cat’ themed picture book/s? Share a pic #picbookbc

MAY #PICBOOKBC QUESTIONS

Horray! Our May picture book chat is not far away! I am very excited to welcome Kylie Howarth as our special guest to chat ‘Australian animals’ in fiction picture books. Also to celebrate her beautiful new picture book ‘Bush Magic’.

‘This delightful story is about the power of imagination, appreciating the natural world and spending quality time with the ones you love.

Jarrah and Grandpa love spending time together exploring the bush around their home. But one miserable Sunday it’s too rainy to venture outside, so instead Jarrah and Grandpa float away on a dreamlike quest where they meet magical creatures, save their stranded bush friends from a flood and have their most exciting adventure together yet’ Walker Books
