I read alot of kids books. I enjoy them even when I am not reading them to little ones. Poppleton is my favourite series, with the possible exception of Stella and Sam. the Poppleton stories are wonderfully illustrated in watercolour, with plenty of small details to point out. The language is straightforward but not “Dick and Jane”, and the stories are fun to read aloud and to listen to. Even the characterization is good (yes, I know, they are only short books, but trust me. 🙂
I bought as many of them as I could find at Indigo. Here’s one, the first one we had.
Poppleton and Friends by Mark Teague
And here’s one of the Stella books:
Stella Star Of The Sea by M Gay
I highly recommend them.
