Today at #bookelves18 we are all about #picturebks - and here are some of my favourites. The book I most often give new babies is Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes by Mem Fox and Helen Oxenbury - the perfect blend of rhythmic text and outstanding, baby-friendly pictures. 1/3
Once Upon a Time - now that child would not know 'Once upon a time' if he wasn't read to as a younger child! Give your child the gift of language, creativity and imagination this Christmas. Give a book! #bookelves18 #LateLateToyShow
And as it's #Irishbks day we also have a copy of the stunning picturebook The Pooka Party to give away by @ShonaShirleyMac with thanks to @OBrienPress - this one is a simple RT to win. Good luck from the #bookelves18
Today's #trailblazer is Anne Sullivan who was Helen Keller's teacher. Anne’s parents were from Limerick but left during the Irish Famine. When Anne was 8, her mum died and she was sent to a poorhouse in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. 1/4
