A lively read-aloud about a lost dog’s imagined adventures, using rhyme, humour and expressive illustrations to explore survival, landscape, curiosity and the pull of home.
Nikkolas Smith
A visually rich shared-history book that links humanity’s beginnings in Africa with creativity, discovery and belonging. Poetry invites reflection, while the timeline adds factual context beyond the main narrative.
Johanna Bell

Brendan Wenzel
Choose this for a reflective shared read about sunlight, living things and big questions. Its strongest experience is visual: children can trace connections across scenes and wonder aloud rather than follow a conventional plot.
Giselle Clarkson
A lively invitation to look closely at slugs, bees, spiders and other small creatures in familiar places. Its blend of humour, sketches, factual detail and observation activities makes ordinary surroundings feel worth investigating.
National Geographic Kids
A visually rich geology reference covering rock and mineral types, formation, gems, fossils, uses and related activities, with information arranged through photographs, diagrams, maps, comparisons and glossary features.

Sally Symes and Stephanie Warren Drimmer
