=** English picture books **= ** Library Lion – Michelle Knudsen ** When a lion visits the library, no one knows what to do: there are no rules about lions in the library. But soon he's indispensable - "What a helpful lion," people say. "How did we ever get along without him?" But one day the head librarian falls and breaks her arm, and the only way the lion can get help is to roar. And that is breaking the rules. The next day the lion doesn't come to the library, nor the next day, nor the day after that...until Mr McBee finds him and tells him that sometimes there is a very good reason to break the rules. || ** The tale of Peter Rabbit – Beatrix Potter ** Peter Rabbit rarely does as he is told. What a naughty rabbit Peter is! The classic "Tale of Peter Rabbit" is retold simply for young children and published in a sturdy board book format. || ** Where the wild things are - Maurice Sendak ** The story of Max, who is so naughty the night he wears his wolf suit that he's sent to bed without any supper. In the night a whole land of forests and seas appears in Max's bedroom, and he sails away to the land where the wild things are. || ** Lettice the bridesmaid – Mandy Stanley ** Lettice is a little rabbit with big dreams. Lettice and her family live high up on the top of a hill. Nibble, nibble, hop, hop, every day is the same, until! Lettice peeps out of the burrow one morning and finds an invitation to be bridesmaid at her ballet teacher's wedding. It's a dream come true for Lettice, who can't wait to wear the pretty bridesmaid's dress made especially for her. It's going to be the best day of her life! || ** Wolves – Emily Gravett ** Rabbit borrows a book about wolves from the library. Straight forward enough. But it's not long before a sinister figure with sharp claws and a bushy tail starts to creep right off the pages. You won't believe your eyes especially if you're a rabbit. Brilliantly witty, with amazing artwork, two surprise endings, plus fun novelty elements ||
