@gardening_with_mummy We’ve had a fab day in the

@gardening_with_mummy We’ve had a fab day in the world of “Sky Private Eye”. We’re very grateful to @fivequillsforkids for sending us the set of these wonderful books to review. As you know I’m extremely passionate about extending story books with my Little Gardener. Therefore, I was ever so excited when we started to delve further into Sky’s world full of fairytale mysteries and baking. My Little Gardener loves being a detective and finding “clues” so fell in love with Sky’s character right away. 🧁

Each book takes a spin on a classic fairytale and adds humour, fun and a big sprinkle of cake. My Little Gardener’s favourite from the series is “The Case of the Run Away Biscuit” so today we extended the story within our play. @fivequillsforkids provide some lovely accompanying resources on their website so we started off with a puppet show to retell the tale. I love to be able to get out in the garden to bring the story to life so I hid some little gingerbread men around the garden for my own Sky Eye Detective to track down. In order to find these she had to make herself a pair of special Sky trioculars!

What I love most about this series is that each book contains a magical recipe to bake Sky’s special cupcakes. So off we go to the Fairy Mill and Old MacDonald’s farm to collect our ingredients to be able to extend our story adventure even further. 🧁

‘A brilliant book to read at start of Spring. It could inspire children to start planting and bug hunting, and even make their own little bug hotel.’ 🪲🐞

‘We learned that wildlife is not attracted to artificial grass because there are nutrients in new grass.’🌳🌼

‘My granddaughter loves this book and spent most of her afternoon sitting on the stairs reading it once it arrived.’ 📚🌸

‘It’s about bees. Lottie looks after them which is cool. I want to look after them too.’ 🐝🐝

🍃Playing outdoors is a wonderful way to stimulate children’s imagination and allows them to release any stress or anxiety they might be feeling.
👩🏼‍🌾Try this outdoor ‘Wormery’ activity. Little ones will be digging, giggling and finding wriggly worms to put in their homemade wormery. Keep the worms overnight and watch the worms wiggle to the bottom of the soil.
🪱After searching through the dirt I did find the worms- they were hiding under the flower pots. 🪴 Draw or write about your discoveries on Lottie’s Love Nature Scrapbook pages.

‘Sky Private Eye’ by Jane Clarke & Loretta Sch

‘Sky Private Eye’ by Jane Clarke & Loretta Schauer is a delightful series featuring Sky, who can be found searching for clues and solving mysteries involving fairytale characters we know and love ( think Red Riding Hood, the Gingerbread Man) – and also has a fondness for baking! There are some lovely activities available including making cakes for the young bakers in your lives (but don’t let the Big Bad Wolf find out…!) Published by Five Quills.

@booksuperhero2 Three gorgeous books from @fivequi

@booksuperhero2 Three gorgeous books from @fivequillsforkids @owletpress @littlestepspublishinguk 🐝 💐

Omar, the Bees and Me,’ by Helen Mortimer, illustrated by @_katiecottle – publishing March 2021.

When Omar brings in some honey cake that reminds him of his beekeeping grandpa, it gives his teacher an idea and soon the whole class is absorbed in making their town more bee friendly.
Omar and Maisie discover a shared family passion around bees as their friendship blossoms alongside the flowers. A sustainability story about making little wins for our big planet and finding the things that connect us all. 4+

This is a gorgeously-illustrated book which highlights the importance of bees and what we can do in our communities to help them. I love the idea of creating a bee corridor of flowers for the bees to pollinate and enjoy – we shall be planting wildflower seeds in our garden to tempt in our fuzzy friends.

‘Poppy Goes Wild,’ by Nick Powell, illustrated by @beccahallillustration

Poppy is on a mission to save her grandad’s farm by returning the countryside to a time when flower meadows grew wild and native animals flourished. Can Poppy succeed in helping nature to work its magic? 7+

This story is jam-packed with the names of all sorts of creatures which children could hope to spot on a visit to the countryside: skylarks, peregrine falcons, and otters. It explores how the re-wilding of developed areas could help bring back species which have almost disappeared from our countryside and our dictionaries.

‘Lottie Loves Nature: Bee-ware!’ By Jane Clarke, illustrated by James Brown (Five Quills)

Lottie loves wildlife & dreams of becoming a nature show presenter like Samira, host of her favourite programme Every Little Thing. Lottie has been reading about the decline in the number of insects in nature. With the help of her tech neighbour Noah, she decides to build a bug-hotel to encourage their return. But buzzing-mayhem, they are interrupted by a swarm of bees invading Mr. Parfitt’s garden next door.

I really love how this series cleverly combines fact and fiction in one highly-illustrated package. The scrapbook-style pages break up the text for young readers.

Posted @withregram • @booksuperhero2 Today I’ve 3 bee-utiful books about conserving our fuzzy friends & re-wilding our surroundings.
