Book Sharing Monday

Yay, it's Monday and I'm going to share a book with you once more ... it seems like ages since we've done this which is odd considering how many books we read and borrow from the library.

Anyway, today I want to share this book with you - it's called Five Little Fiends by Sarah Dyer. I believe this was her debut book, and a lovely one it is too.

Five little fiends marvel at their view

I love how this book teaches the concept of sharing to children, in a lovely way. They all look out at the world and marvel at the view, and then each choose their favourite element of it and take it home. The sun, the moon, the land, the sky and the sea are taken by the five so they can look at them when they want to.

but the elements do not survive without each other

However they begin to realise that these things all need each other to exist. A simple environmental message there too. So they choose to put them all back and enjoy the view together again.

and see the World as it should be

What a lovely story, Imogen enjoyed reading this very much, and on turning the pages when they started to remove the elements would often say "They shouldn't do that, should they" ... very wise.

Hope you enjoy the book. It's good to get back to book sharing, must try harder to blog about one more regularly.
