Heavy Metal Badger

Heavy Metal Badger

Another story time favourite in the shop.

Full of noise and energy that you can get your audience joining in with, plus lots of little details and asides for young and old alike, I especially like the little song quotes that come up every now and then.

Also keep your eyes out for the band posters…

Badger has a need to make music, loud loud music, and this is his story of the search for the right kind of music for him.

There are disasters along the way but eventually all is right in the end and he finds like minded animals that play the right kind of music for him and they end up entertaining all the others that he inconvenienced in his journey.

Another great fun picture book from Duncan Beedie!

Hank Goes Honk

Hank Goes Honk

As soon as I saw Hank’s glorious side eye on the cover I’d thought I’d found a soulmate.

Hank is a goose, Hank is grumpy, Hank seems to revel in disruption and destruction, bursting balloons for the fun of it, and making as much noise as he can wherever he goes, what more could you want out of life? I mean really?

But no, Hank wants more than that, he wants to have friends and be part of the group… and he tries really hard.

but balloons…

Hilarious little book about friendship, grumpiness, joining in, change, being alone, the fun of popping balloons, and that you don’t have to be perfect.

The illustrations are so funny as well and can be used without the words they are that strong, loved this!

and I can tell you from first hand experience that this make a great story time book, all the noises went down a treat.
