“It has to be the gruffalo for me! Altho my daughter loved Winnie the witch #WHSmithbookmarks #booksforU5’s” – Elisa Bray Originally written and illustrated by the talented Valerie Thomas and Korky Paul, the books have been so successful that they’ve even been turned into a young fiction series by Laura Owen, also illustrated by Korky Paul. The picture books were first published in 1987 and have proven to be as relevant and popular with children today as they were back then. Winnie the Witch and her cat Wilbur make a fantastic pair for little ones to read about. #19 Winnie the Witch – Valerie Thomas & Korky Paul Written in verse but still maintaining some of Julia’s well-loved rhymes, this simple story is perfect for little readers to enjoy right up to the age of 5 and beyond. Back in his old gown and sandals, the grateful animals reward George for being the kindest giant in town. When a shop that sells clothes for giants opens up, George is thrilled and decides to buy himself an entire new suit, including shoes, socks and even a tie! On the way home George bumps into several animals who are all in need of help and ends up giving away all his new clothes to solve their various problems. With his patched old gown and brown sandals, George is the scruffiest giant in town and he’s had enough of it.
