There's a Tiger on the Train
by Mariesa Dulak & Rebecca Cobb (illustrator)
This charming picture book is a joyful celebration of a child’s imagination. A lively crowd of animals gets into a train carriage where they invite our protagonist to play games and eat sweets. Glued to a screen, his father isn’t paying any attention and misses all the fun. Fortunately, when they get to their destination the tiger runs off with the phone, so father and son are fully able to enjoy their day at the seaside together. A lovely story to read aloud, and an excellent starting point to discuss the importance of time away from screens.
Ages 3-6
Elisabeth and the Box of Colours
by Katherine Woodfine & Rebecca Cobb (illustrator)
This is a very sweet little dyslexia-friendly book inspired by the early life of Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (Queen Marie Antoinette’s favourite portrait artist). A story of family, friendship and the power of creativity to help deal with grief, this is a lovely book not just for dyslexic readers but for early readers who are ready to move from picture books to something a bit more like a novel.
Ages 5-9
