My Very Busy Day
A classic collection of first experiences for pre-schoolers, illustrated by the best-loved Kate Greenaway medal-winner, Shirley Hughes.
In this beautifully illustrated book for first readers, little ones can find out about Olly and Katie's very busy day learning new words and improving their vocabulary along the way. From getting dressed in the morning, heading out for a walk in the park or having a story before bath and bedtime, this simple, joyful book takes the reader through key points in a toddler's day, with plenty of objects to spot and recognize in Shirley Hughes' reassuring and charming pictures. Packed with evocative scenes from childhood and first words to spell out on each page, there is so much to see and do in Olly and Katie's gentle pre-school world.
Shirley Hughes (1927-2022) illustrated more than 200 children's books and is one of the best-loved writers for children. She won many prestigious awards, including the Kate Greenaway Medal (twice), the Eleanor Farjeon Award and the Booktrust Lifetime Achievement Award. She was awarded the OBE in 1999 for her distinguished service to children's literature. In 2007, Dogger was voted the UK's favourite Kate Greenaway Medal-winning book of all time.
