    Reviewer Julie Murphy shares her favourite books of the past year….

    A beautiful counting board book, bursting with colour and featuring native wildlife.

    pandamoniaPandamonia by Chris Owen and Chris Nixon

    Rhythm and rhyme, alliteration and the odd pun all play important roles in creating this joyous read-aloud experience. Whatever you do when you visit the zoo, don’t wake the panda!

    isbn9781444920109-detailGreen Lizards vs Red Rectangles by Steve Antony

    A visually striking book that deals with a serious issue (accepting diversity so we can live together in peace) in a very skillful and light-hearted way. A fun read for little children; a more thoughtful read for older ones.
