Yes No

Author: Jan Pieńkowski; lettering by Caroline Austin

Publisher: Walker Books

Yes/no, light/heavy, in/out, alive/dead: Jan Pieńkowski explores all manner of opposites in this bright and original book for toddlers, full of his trademark bright, thick-outlined illustration.

Left and right are two beefeaters marching in opposite directions; a boy shows the before and after of a balloon being blown up; and an octopus looks knowingly up at a puffin from under the sea.

Great fun for toddlers and preschoolers who will love this bright, helpful book, which also depicts a range of ethnic diversity.

Author: Guilherme Karsten

It’s sleepover time for little monsters – and the monster in this book is very excited to welcome readers to their special monster den under the bed. They are a little confused to realise that readers may prefer to sleep on top of the bed, however, AND that they don’t have special monster pyjamas. Most odd.
