Pamela Allen Books

Introducing 2 new books today. These books are by Pamela Allen and some of you may be her fans already but she writes fantastic children's books which are educational (often thought-provoking for the little minds) and entertaining. I particularly love how she builds on her story through repetition.


1. Mr McGee and the Big Bag of Bread
This story is about Mr McGee going to the zoo with a big bag of bread and feeding the animals despite the warning on the noticeboard, "Do not feed the animals". Each time he feeds the animals, something happens to him and it has quite a dramatic ending. 


This book was helpful in teaching my baby about different animals and he enjoys listening to the repetitions in the book which sounds quite rhythmic.

2. Inside Mary Elizabeth's House
This book is about young Mary Elizabeth trying to make four boys believe her words that she has a monster at her house. The boys refused to believe her until they discover the monster for themselves... The author builds on the story through repetition and this seems quite appealing to our little one and I am guessing to many other little ones.
