The Feather #100books

Won this one on twitter from tamarindbooks. It’s a lovely book, and I’m pleased to find that Smallest is rather fond of it too. Extremely fond of it in fact – last night she had me read it through 4 times straight off.

I think it’s the birds. She loves birds. It’s one of her signs, probably second only to milk. She likes to look out of the window and watch the birds feeding, and she likes to look at the pictures of birds in this book. It’s not your standard children’s book – quite literary I suppose I’d describe it. Very imaginative and with images that I think will grow with reading, worth exploring further and deeper as a child ages. The kind of book I like.

Book 15 of 100.

The boring small print…If you don’t want to miss out on any of the news on the challenge, please sign up to my rss feed – there’s an email link over in the side, or you can sub with a reader. I’m also on twitter using the hashtag #100books and facebook.

  1. I love the fact you sign to Smallest. Did you do it with your others too? Keep meaning to read up on it. Perhaps I’ll have time when they’re all grown up…

    1. Signing was an absolute lifeline with Small, who didn’t bother talking properly til he was very nearly 3. He’d had speech therapy and everything, but I think just decided one day it was time to talk. The fact we’d done baby signs meant that he could communicate at least partially which cut down on frustration lots.

  2. oh I love this book! Must look for it at the library again
