Kids’ Books That Build Imagination Through Learning
Creative and Imaginative Children’s Books NZ
Whether for toddlers or young children, early learning begins with imagination. That’s why reading quality kids’ books is vital for a child’s development.
While Monique’s picture books are primarily written for children aged 3-7, their lessons are essential for all ages.
Imagination is the primary building block of creativity, so Monique has created colouring versions of each book. By leaving the words in, children can spend more time with the information while adding their own colours. This builds on their learning at the same time as their creativity.
Should I Pat Pat?
An interactive picture book for kids ages 5-7 about being safe around dogs
A fun and interactive way to teach children how to be safe and have fun around dogs while at the same time showing them that there might be more to a dog than meets the eye. Complete with practice pages to make sure they recognise the different doggie scenarios.
Penelope Popple and the Boring Books
A book for children of all ages about discovering imagination through reading.
Join Penelope as she discovers her imagination within the pages of her books; maybe they are not so boring after all. Suddenly there is something different about the giant Pohutukawa tree across the road.
The Fly that Flew
A fun, fast-paced children’s book about learning directions for kids 3-5.
A fun way to learn about different directions (up, down, around, through, over, under) as dad chases a fly around the house. The dogs and cat join in, making it a hilarious rhyming story for children aged 3+
Whoopsie Daisy
A children’s book about a real three-legged dog for kids ages 5-7.
How will Daisy do what the farmer asks when she has one leg missing? Will she get laughed at by the other dogs if she tries? Find out what happens when a wild storm causes havoc on the sleepy farm, and it is up to Daisy to save the farmer’s sheep. This story encourages children not to compare themselves to others and shows them that, just like Daisy, they can do anything they put their minds to.
