English author Emily Gravett has written and illustrated more
than two dozen books. Her stories are  |
| Odd Egg |
whimsical, clever and thoroughly entertaining. Her illustrations jump off the page and offer humour for both the young and old. In Odd Egg, Duck is left without an egg to sit so she hunts and finds an Odd Egg with green spots. While the eggs of other birds are hatching, Duck patiently waits to see what hatches from her egg. What will it be?
Meerkat Mail is told through the eyes of Sunny the
meerkat. Sunny decides his house is too crowded and sets off on an adventure to
find the perfect home. His search leads him through a marsh, a rainforest and a
farm. While visiting his relatives, Sunny writes postcards home to his
parents. The cover is designed as a parcel and the travel theme is skillfully
detailed throughout the book.
My favourite Emily Gravett book is The Rabbit Problem.
It is written in the style of a calendar where
each month the rabbits face
another problem. Find out how their problems are solved (or not).
Be sure to check out Emily Gravett books in the K-3 section.
