All the family are sure that the mischievous Wim Wom will cause trouble for the children if they don’t do as they’re told, but no one seems clear about what it really looks like. Join the children as they draw, make and model a Wim Wom, using clues from their parents and grandparents. Just as the children decide that the Wim Wom is not actually real, events take a surprising turn. And the children realize you can’t always believe everything you are told!
When bad weather prevents three children from playing outside, how can they possibly entertain themselves? Never fear! With a few home-made props and a great deal of ready imagination, the perfect plan is hatched. The rich spontaneity of children’s imaginative play is beautifully captured by Polly Peters’s expressive text and Jess Stockham’s busy and amusing illustrations.
When two boys go out with a large bag to collect all the noise they can find, you can be sure that they will have an ear-splitting time! From the clank of a stick on railings to the thud of a baseball bat, this vibrant story celebrates the rich diversity of sounds they encounter and collect.
