Synopsis

A charming collection of stories from celebrated storyteller Atinuke and with tender illustrations from Emily Hughes.

Beti lives in a little round house in the woods with Mam, Tad, Baby Jac, her cheeky goat Naughty and many other farm animals. Written in Atinuke's rhythmic, heartfelt style and brought to life by Emily Hughes' lush, warm illustrations, this exquisite collection of four stories centred around a strong-willed little girl is a celebration of having adventures with our friends in the lush wild with each changing season.


Every page is rich in humour and filled with touching observations of the family's wild and enchanting way of life. It is escapism at its finest and will inspire readers to reconnect with nature, to find happiness on their doorstep among the love of friends and family.

Reviews

Maria

Beti and the Little Round House is a gorgeous book with beautiful illustrations throughout the book. Beti lives in her round house surrounded by the gorgeous green woods under the mountains where she shares adventures with her friends including Naughty and Jack!


There are four stories based on the seasons with Beti encountering animals and seasonal fun along the way. We shared this book at storytime over a week and it was a huge success. A lovely book for children to read over and over again!
