We have selected Snowball as our Book of the Month for November – the perfect book to celebrate wintertime & get young children joining in. This funny rhyming read-aloud has a snowy seasonal theme, & comes from the award-winning team of Sue Hendra & Paul Linnet, who created Supertato & Barry the Fish with Fingers. Sue & Paul’s books have become increasingly established in recent years, & they’re an ideal choice for children who like Julia Donaldson’s rhyming stories & are looking for something new to try. Children will absolutely love Sue’s vibrant, bold artwork & the wacky humour & imagination that lights up every page of the book. As well as being incredibly child-friendly, Snowball is great for talking about themes of friendship & making mistakes. See our book talk notes for some fun-filled ideas on using Snowball for discussion & joining-in games in the classroom or at home. We all love to throw a snowball!

Well, grab your woolly hat & gloves, because Sue Hendra & Paul Linnet are telling a weird & wonderful story that brings a snowball to life. (Oh snow many giggles!) The snowball is kind of lonely, stuck at the top of a mountain. So he decides to visit the local town for a bit of fun. But on his way he trips, falls & starts to roll.
