I’m so excited for the 1st December. Not only do the kids get to discover which Advent calendars the cheeky Elf on the Shelf brings, but we also get to see our Book Advent. The kids love our Christmas traditions, and books play a big part at Christmas.
One new book we have added to our festive reads is the lovely The Marvellous Moon Map by Teresa Heapy, illustrated by David Litchfield, published by Penguin Random House Children’s.
The Marvellous Moon Map
“I’ve got you, and you’ve got me – so we’ll be all right”. One day, adventurous Mouse sets off to find the moon with his Marvellous Moon Map, leaving his worried friend Bear behind. But as the Woods get darker, and the weather gets worse, Mouse soon realises that he needs more than just the Moon Map to find his way . . .
This is an emotional and atmospheric tale of true friendship, beautifully told by Teresa Heapy with stunning illustrations from Waterstones Prize-winning David Litchfield.
