We love books – obviously – and we often review latest releases. But I’ve been a parent for nearly twenty years, and I know that the older books sometimes get overlooked by new parents – and they’re missing out on a gem or two of bedtime reading. I think we all know the Very Hungry Caterpillar, of course, but I find newer parents may not know Albert Le Blanc, Little Tiger or Spot. There have been some beautiful picture books that we’d like to re-introduce into your life – I welcome you to the Sunday Picture Book series :)
I honestly didn’t think Bear would enjoy this. It was too… odd. Angular.
Frosty, actually.
Not at all the soft, gorgeous imagery she usually chooses.
Shows what I know.
Here Comes Jack Frost is plucked from the bookshelf again and again.
Happily.
Because I love it as much as Bear does.
The simply paper cut style illustration is beautiful, and far more evocative than I expected. Perfect, in fact, for a story of a world caught in the deep, sharp depths of an icy winter.
It’s a simple, enchanting tale of the wonder and beauty and freedom that Jack Frost brings – until the day The Boy sees a snowdrop.
Definitely one to add to your bookshelf. Here Comes Jack Frost the paperback is £5.45 at Amazon at the moment.
