Programme

Preschool Outreach 2011 - Term 1

Where's Spot? / Eric Hill.

Kei hea a Spot? / na Eric Hill. Join Sally, Spot's mum, on her search to find where the mischievous puppy is hiding. A lift-the-flap story.

What can Rabbit hear? / Lucy Cousins.

The reader is asked what rabbit can hear with his big ears when he listens to sounds in the field, the pond, the sky and other places.

This is my robot / [written and designed by Jessica Greenwell and Matt Durber

This is a brand new title with a beeping sound chip. It encourages children to talk about different parts of the friendly robot, including its wheels, motor and arms. It is filled with lively scenes and a repetitive story,

which children can interact with by pressing the sound-chip on the page to make the robot say 'blip, bip, beep'. It is ideal for sharing with young children.

Crow / Leo Timmers.

Crow wants to make friends with Finch, Parakeet, and Chickadee, but they all run away from him in fear. He attempts to paint himself in different colors, disguising himself to look more like them, but they are still

afraid.

The indigo bird / Helen Taylor. Fantail is looking for Takahe but where can he be? Is he playing with Weka in the snow? Or maybe dancing

with Kakapo in the glow of the moon? Perhaps he is splashing through puddles with long-legged Pukeko? Look carefully and you'll see that perhaps he has been right here, all along

The Usborne big book of big machines / written by Minna Lacey

A big book of big machines (and some little ones too) perfect for machine-mad boys. From giant excavators and monster trucks to superjumbos and enormous ships, children can discover the biggest and most powerful

machines ever made. Really huge machines are displayed with extra fold-out pages.

One drowsy dragon / by Ethan Long. As one dragon tries to take a nap, his ten little dragons, in increasing numbers, disturb his sleep by making

milk shakes, screaming at scary movies, and playing loud games.

The truth about penguins / Meg McKinlay & Mark Jackson. The penguins are coming and there is great excitement at the zoo. But what’s a penguin? The animals don’t quite know what to expect – but they all have an opinion, each more outlandish than the next. When truth

about penguins is finally revealed, however, everyone is in for a surprise!

Feathers for Phoebe / Rod Clement Phoebe is small, grey, and ordinary - very ordinary. I want to get noticed! she declares. Zelda is glamorous,

talented and famous - and she runs the most popular beauty salon in the forest. And she's only too happy to help Phoebe become the bird she's always wanted to be.
