Synopsis

From the creator of the New York Times Best Illustrated Book Little Red, These Are My Rocks is the perfect picture book for children who love collecting. Join the narrator, as they proudly introduce the reader to their prized collection, featuring BIG things to small things ... and spiky things to wobbly things!

Each page is bursting with humour - and they are interactive too - with children encouraged to interact with the book, with invitations to point, make noises, clap their hands and think about what they could collect. Interactive books engage young children and capture their natural curiosity and These Are My Rocks encourages the development of important early-learning skills such as listening, choosing, matching, counting and moving by playing on the theme of interaction.

These Are My Rocks is stylish, humorous, inclusive and utterly engaging - and a celebration of children's love of collecting.

"This is an interactive, fun book, and particularly one for the younger readers who bring things home from every walk!" - Lizi, ReadingZone reviewer

These Are My Rocks is a story about collecting. It's an interactive book which directly addresses the reader and asks them to turn the light on, catch a spider, blow the cobwebs etc... which kept my little readers engaged! The illustrations are fun and captivating and the book is great for introducing adjectives as the author introduces you to her collection of wobbly things, spoken things... The list goes on!

This is an interactive, fun book, and particularly one for the younger readers who bring things home from every walk!
