Lemony Snicket, Maira Kalman
A playful, offbeat tale that pairs an unusual word sequence with colourful illustrations; its story may feel deliberately odd rather than neatly explained.
Martine Leavitt
This is a stark story about exploitation and a young person trying to find a way out. Its verse form also gives space to Angel’s reflections on words, identity and faith.
Jen Breach
A globe-spanning introduction to solstice and daylight, Solstice combines short child-centred stories with scientific and cultural information. Its 14 examples, varied artwork and pictographs invite readers to compare how the sun shapes daily life in different places.
Richard O’Neill, illustrated by Kirsti Beautyman
A warm story about a child whose busy family weekend becomes an unexpected learning experience. It offers a lively picture of shared work, celebration and community, while making room for a child’s worry about disappointing school expectations.
Nick Sharratt
A cheerful school celebration becomes a lively water fight, with children, teachers, costumes, inflatables and a hose. The rhymes, repeated splashy sounds and colourful illustrations make the event feel energetic and playful.
Astrid Lindgren
Expect anarchic humour, imaginative adventures and a central character who challenges adult authority. Pippi’s friendships, confidence and physical strength drive the fun, while the episodic structure offers distinct comic situations rather than one tightly unfolding plot.
Joseph Coelho
Choose this for shared, lively poetry reading: it combines performance, humour and imaginative wordplay with opportunities to experiment with poetic forms and invent poems together.
Christopher Paolini
A long, sweeping fantasy about a farm boy and newly hatched dragon confronting an evil empire. Its appeal lies in adventure, magic, training, invented cultures and the growing responsibilities attached to power.
