Katie Morag books

Are we allowed to post about kids' books here?

Flo's favourite at the moment are the Katie Morag stories.

I really like them because I think there are lots of positive role models. Grannie Island is pretty cool and feisty and so is Mrs Mccoll, running the post office and raising three children (Mr Mccoll is also a dab hand at making tea)! There is loads going on in the pictures, with lovely details and lots to talk about. I love the Tiresome Ted story as Mrs Mccoll is breastfeeding in it (or rather she's not, she just sat there with her breast hanging out!) - there is an affectionate sense of the chaos of new babies (however fed). This story also deals with sibling reactions to new babies, focusing on the elder sibling, Katie Morag.

The book that we've got is a collection one that was passed to us but I'm on the look out for more.

I loved Katie Morag books when I was a kid! I think I will give them a go with my DD when she is older enough! Try Amazon for others.
