New Releases by Selina Young

Big dog and Little Dog have built a shiny red plane. They soar into the air and loop the loop. But they haven''t brought the landing button! Oh no! What are they going to do?

A young boy, along with comments from his cat and his stuffed toy lion, describes what he was like as he grew from an infant into a walking, talking three-year-old.

Because the moon looks sad, Big Dog and Little Dog build a rocket to fly there, "lumpily, bumpily through the night," to cheer him up.

Designed to encourage letter and word recognition, the first steps to successful reading, this book contains 80 pages of colourful spreads full of words and pictures for every child to enjoy. Zoe and Toby, plus their pets Patch, Smudge and Pat, lead the reader through the book, encouraging them to participate on every page, finding words to match familiar pictures from everyday life and learning to be at ease with letter shapes, as well as images. Children should also love finding the ladybird on each page, who sometimes asks them questions, and discovering what happens to her at the end of the book where there is a complete index and easy-to-follow instructions on how to use it.

Big Dog and Little Dog''s adventures on their new boat include fishing, water skiing, and exploring a very unusual island. Suggested level: junior, primary.

Labelled illustrations provide hundreds of words relating to things commonly found in a child''s world.
