Advantages: Great to read aloud Disadvantages: Small writing, so for slightly older children
Having loved books when I was a child, I am determined to get my son into reading also. Okay, so he's only 4 months old, but I already have quite a collection of books for him to grow into.
The Gruffalo was one of my first purchases, then on the back of this I bought 'The Snail and the Whale', which is also written by Julia Donaldson & illustrated by Axel Scheffler. I had heard good reviews about the book, but what really swayed me was finding the book in a half price closing down sale at my local bookstore.

What are Mars Celebrations
Mars celebrations are a box/tin of a variety of different chocolates. Each chocolate is individually wrapped in a foil wrapper, and this wrapper really ...
Advantages: it is good entertaining enough educational way film Disadvantages: it is not too commercial
Niki Caro director of "Whale Rider," does well. She was able to convince the Ngati Konohi Maori tribe, that she should be the one to adapt Maori book to the screen, despite the fact that she's a "pakeha" (a New Zealander of European descent). I’m not sure what "Whale Rider" suppose to be, an anthropological/sociological study of the Maori people or the universal story of female empowerment in traditional male society. Indeed, the book's author, Witi Ihimaera, said he wrote "Whale Rider" as a modern retelling of a Maori legend -- in response to his daughter's complaining about the boy always being the hero. Main protagonist is Pai a Maori girl of 13 whom feels that her destiny is to become the leader of her Maori tribe, a whale rider in order to please her grandfather. She’s not allowed learning warrior skills thought by her ...
