Julia Donaldson's Book Of Names

Description

Julia Donaldson celebrates and makes her readers a part of the delightful and imaginative world of picture books in this rhyming tale inspired by the children she has met at hundreds of book signings over the years.

I ve signed for boys called Romeo
and girls called Juliet .
I ve signed for Roman, Saxon, Dane –
Though not for Norman yet.

From months of the year, colours, flowers, food and gemstones, Julia has seamlessly grouped together a charming selection of children s names and woven them together in her unmistakable rhyming style.

Set in a magical transforming bookshop, Julia Donaldson s Book of Names is a love letter to the world of books and young bookworms – illustrated by the award-winning Nila Aye.

With over three hundred names included, readers will love trying to spot their own! And if it isn t included, there is a special dedicated space for them to add it, or even better, for Julia to sign!
