Picture book of the month

An ideal picture book for children with separation anxiety from the award-winning Tracey Corderoy (Hubble Bubble, Granny Trouble, The Grunt and The Grouch) and illustrator Alison Edgson (Yuck! That's Not a Monster! - Winner of the Red House Children's Book Award 2011).

I Want My Mummy's warm, funny story is perfect for reassuring toddlers worried about being away from their parents, whether that's starting nursery or being left with grandparents.

It's Arthur's first day apart from his mummy and he really misses her. Even his fantastic dragon costume and favourite dragon toy don't cheer him up. "Raaargh!" he roars grumpily. But luckily Granny knows just what to do...
