Celia Imrie - A Busy Day For Birds - CBeebies - BBC

Bob blwyddyn, mae’r BookTrust yn trefnu Wythnos Genedlaethol Dechrau Da i ddathlu holl hwyl a budd rhannu straeon, llyfrau a rhigymau â’ch plantos bach o oedran mor ifanc â phosibl – dydy hi byth yn rhy gynnar i ddechrau! My thoughts: It is bright, bold, colorful--in terms of illustrations. The text is silly, exuberant, a bit over the top. Your little one may LOVE it--you may love it for that matter. Some of Lucy Cousins' books I just love. I do. But I didn't personally love, love, love this one.I certainly can visualise all the little kids copying the birds, wanting to be just like them. For this reason I doubt it would be any good as a bedtime story as the actions would get the child excited, but during the day I can just see them having so much fun. I can also picture a teacher reading this book to a class and all his/her students acting like birds too. My class consists of 1.5 to 3 year olds, so one of my biggest creative challenges is to come up with art and craft ideas that keep this age group engaged. More importantly, the skill level of the activity mustn’t frustrate the child. AL Kennedy’s Uncle Shawn and Bill and the Almost Entirely Unplanned Adventure Illustration: Walker Books
