Developing a healthy, safer lifestyle Fire Alert! Nicholas Allan 0 09 940786 8 There are a series of Hilltop Hospital stories which can be used as an introduction to the work of doctors, nurses, midwives etc. Hospital terminology, for example, blood sample, scalpel, scanner, etc. is used regularly. Lots to discuss about keeping healthy. R 1 2 3 4 5 6 Badger’s Parting Gifts Susan Varley 0 862 64062 8 In anticipation of his inevitable death, Badger becomes concerned about how his friends will feel when he is gone. When the time comes, his close friend Mole is particularly grief stricken. But everyone finds comfort in talking about Badger and sharing their special memories of him – and as time passes the intensity of their sadness fades. This moving story sensitively explores the subject of death and how we might come to terms with the loss of a loved one. R 1 2 3 4 5 6 14 www.randomhouse.co.uk/kids Dr Dog Babette Cole 0 09 965081 9 Babette Cole presents messages about healthy living in a way that will involve any youngster. Dr Dog, a fully qualified medic, is called upon to treat his family for such ‘engaging’ conditions as headlice, worms and wind so terrible that it endangers the local community. In each case, Dr Dog’s diagnosis is graphically described. This book provides sound lessons about health and hygiene in a most amusing way. Not for the faint-hearted adult but not yet known to fail with children. R 1 2 3 4 5 6 Using Dr Dog in the Classroom Greenfields School used the book with Year 5 children and whilst they were reading it and making comments their teacher got a feel for their understanding of the issues. She discovered for instance that they all knew that smoking was bad for you but did not know what tar was. The teacher was then able to discuss the gaps in their knowledge. St. Bridget’s School used the book with Year 2 who all thought it was very funny. The children felt that they had all learnt something new and more importantly they learnt why they shouldn’t be doing certain things!
Mummy laid an egg Babette Cole 0 09 929911 9 When two parents make a feeble attempt to explain how babies are made, their children decide to tell them what really happens. What follows is a simple illustrated account of human reproduction – simultaneously offering an ideal model for adults as well as an honest but accessible version for young children. R 1 2 3 4 5 6 Fred Posy Simmonds 0 09 926412 9 Fred, the lazy but loveable cat, is dead and buried. After the funeral, however, Nick and Sophie discover their old moggy was not as lazy as they thought. Fred was leading a double life – being one thing to his human family and an altogether different character with his fellow creatures. The celebratory feel to this book provides much to talk about on the tricky theme of losing a loved one. R 1 2 3 4 5 6 Drop Dead Babette Cole 0 09 965911 5 Babette Cole celebrates the process of growing from young to old, employing her outrageous sense of humour to tackle the sensitive issue of our mortality. R 1 2 3 4 5 6 Hair in Funny Places Babette Cole 0 22 404763 9 Babette Cole handles the delicate matter of puberty with her usual frankness and irreverent humour, explaining the changes that boys and girls can expect once Mr and Mrs Hormone get working.
