I always recommend this book to families with a new a baby on the way. It can be a tricky time for siblings but ‘The Night Iceberg’ is a magical, night time adventure with a subtle message about learning to share. Tofta wants the night iceberg to be just for her but thinks again when a group of penguins show up. This story gently unpicks the anxieties siblings may be having in a beautiful and delicate way. You won’t be able to resist the yellows and blues of this magical, snowy world.
The Fox in the Dark is a tried and tested story time favourite for KS1 and EYFS classes. Once the dark nights have drawn in, more and more animals squash into Rabbit’s house in order to hide from the nocturnal fox. When the fox eventually comes knocking at the door, the animals discover that he is not quite as they imagined. The Fox in the Dark is a popular rhyming story with a simple message about friends working together to overcome their fears.
