Hubble and Hattie ISBN 9781787113077 £7.99
A charming book about a House that does not have a place to live. He embarks on an epic journey to find the right place, but he is not welcomed by everyone. The Little House shows tenacity and perseverance. Eventually he finds exactly the right spot. The text is told in rhyme, and the illustrations are detailed and funny and repay close study. The book offers opportunity for discussion about how it feels to move house. A wide range of property types are included and these inspire readers to consider the advantages and disadvantages of living in each of them. The responses of the different buildings are indicative of a variety of characters and invite discussion about how we treat strangers and appropriate behaviour. Highly recommended for children aged 3 – 5.
