Neil Gaiman, illustrated by Divya Srinivasan
Expect a strange, richly illustrated folktale rather than a clearly explained lesson. Cinnamon’s encounters with the tiger open questions about communication, emotion and change, while the ending is described as happy but deliberately unusual.
Polly Dunbar
A lively, surreal story about a child’s mounting frustration when a silent penguin will not respond. Comic illustrations, escalating attempts and a sudden lion encounter lead towards communication and friendship.
David McKee
This is a very short, visually led story whose simple repeated exchange contrasts with a surprisingly stark turn. Its appeal lies in comic performance, ambiguity and the invitation to question what the family is noticing.
Jez Alborough
A playful friendship story about two lonely characters whose misunderstanding develops into shared laughter and play. Its rhyming dialogue and expressive artwork suit a read-aloud experience.
Duncan Beedie
This is a humorous friendship story about inventing words, receiving attention, feeling jealous and trying to repair a damaged relationship. Its ancient setting also invites curiosity about language and inventions.
