Little Bird Books continues to be on the top of my to-do list but at the moment my partner's business is taking up all my time. (<a href="http://www.spasounds.com.au/" style="color: #38761d;">www.spasounds.com.au</a><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span>- if you're looking for some relaxation or chill out music!)</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp1RUrP7Xf2xFALsoxkJ3nxfh_ixp8lCGIUdmhfJMJOcFmWCW7dYV2MaerwHBdpsP9anpOeJNLNNgh7WjWxmAjTXaBM6vnfR9SJHRKgz74PjZlMNTPhz4tcPgNaxeZnXXovdxx5pofjck/s1600/LLB-Logo-Short.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp1RUrP7Xf2xFALsoxkJ3nxfh_ixp8lCGIUdmhfJMJOcFmWCW7dYV2MaerwHBdpsP9anpOeJNLNNgh7WjWxmAjTXaBM6vnfR9SJHRKgz74PjZlMNTPhz4tcPgNaxeZnXXovdxx5pofjck/s200/LLB-Logo-Short.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But!...I have a new logo. A slightly tweaked version of my initial creation which I think looks fresher and more colourful and makes me want to do more with Little Bird Books!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I do have some new books in stock, I am working on a website and I will eventually launch my little bird venture to the larger world. But for now here's a sample of some of the new books I've got on my shelves (catalogue will be updated shortly)...</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

Seriously, what little boy doesn't love dinosaurs? This book is good for teaching children how to behave in social situations, be it playgroup, the park or school. The illustrations are fantastic and the short rhymes make it a good, quick read before bed. That is if your little one doesn't make you try and pronounce all the dinosaur's largely unpronounceable names. I'm certainly heading towards being an expert in the field of dinosaurs!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvz4tcQlvFOf8IP2hiTw3NDMhTaMtabeEn0qCetzBJCVQ0eiANFpM93mTjBinbKPqphrZcK9B8YujT4UxbYs6XOD2XiFftUouAk6zUJFRcpP8oFtyOT4556k1B6EoavNJHPmlQcylpzNM/s1600/28350.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

It must have been in my library as a child. Great for early readers (4-8 year olds), it's also a rollicking good read for toddlers and follows a little boy who wishes for various animal parts that he believes will be of use (whale spout, deer horns and of course, duck feet). The 1950's harassed housewife mother and pipe smoking dad make for an amusing (if somewhat outdated) story but the message of being happy with yourself wins through in the end. Fun and funny!</span><br />

Peepo is a gorgeous rhyming, peep-hole picture book, set in war time England. It follows a baby through his day as he observes his family and the world around. Lovely detailed pictures and a PEEPO! on every page keeps my little man engaged.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

It always fills me with excitement and anticipation. What's going to happen this year? Where will the new year take us? What are we going to do, see, feel, read...?<br />
<br />
I'm on the hunt for new stock for <b><a href="http://www.spasounds.com.au/download/Little-Bird-Books-catalogue.pdf">Little Bird Books</a></b>. Already I have found some fantastic new titles that Harry and I are both in love with. But all will be revealed in good time.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://www.spasounds.com.au/download/Little-Bird-Books-catalogue.pdf"> Little Bird Books</a></b> has been on a small hiatus, whilst I have been helping my partner with his business and of course, being a full time Mum. But we will relaunch in the next few months with a new catalogue of fantastic books, a new website and some fun local events.<br />
<br />
So stay tuned. Happy reading. Carlie x</span> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Donaldson's Diary</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Every household should have at least one Hairy Maclary book in their library. The brilliant, cumulative rhyming text and the terrific pictures make all of Lynley Dodd’s stories such fun to read. We have six in the series and quite often read all six before bed at night. We currently stock the original (pictured) but the <b><a href="http://www.spasounds.com.au/download/Little-Bird-Books-catalogue.pdf">Little Bird Books</a></b> 2010 catalogue will feature a number of the Hairy series. One is just never enough!</span></span></span><br />
