Book Week- use your torch-see nursery rhyme pictures on your wall.

Book Week has been celebrated from Cairns library to Hobart schools in Australia this week.

We’ve

• seen some costume ideas from Pinterest

(Idea taken from http://lilliedale.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/book-fairy-costume.html)

• Read a great selection of books to do with  the sun, stars moon and light.(Theme- “Books light up our world”) thanks for all the suggestions from My Little Bookcase.
• And now we’re heading off to bed with a very special book for younger children, which our 100 stories kangaroo has already had fun with.

Nighttime Nursery Rhymes, A bedtime shadow book.

Compiled by Barbara Paulding,illustrated by Martha Day Zschock. Peter Pauper Press

We bought this book at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art Store at Sydney Domestic Airport Shop.It’s also available online.

Imagine the magic of shining a torch through the pictures in the book as you read the nursery rhymes aloud.You’ll see the pictures up on your wall.Maybe you can  make some shapes yourself to add to the nursery rhymes.Just right for the theme of light.

The publishers have a number of other torch light books including The Night Before Christmas, Nighttime Fairies and Up,Up and Away (Space theme).

We’ll be posting on another clever book to do with light in our next post.It’s one you can read from the front, or back, of the book.Two different stories!
