Our latest entry for the competition is this extract from the wonderful No Kiss for Mother by Tomi Ungerer (the breakfast scene). We absolutely love it! Read by a mother to her 3 year-old daughter and 3 month old baby. You can listen to it here https://www.dropbox.com/s/uw1f7jiztpxuy43/No%20kiss%20for%20mother%2C%20breakfast%20scene.mp3
ReplyDeleteA video from about 6 years ago now. A favourite of ours we thought we had lost. I Wrote to the Zoo, read by Sarah with actions by Lucy. Enthusiastic audience, Dillon and Anna.
