JoJo Gnome’s Book Nook – Reading recommendations for ages 3-6

Book recommendations for ages 3-6

Children love stories also teachers and parents love bringing their children the best tales they can find. I’m often asked what stories or books that I would recommend for younger children … so I have decided to have a section in JoJo Gnome’s Story Podcast called JoJo Gnome’s Book Nook.

JoJo Gnome’s Story Podcast is made for children age 3-6 to listen to in the classroom, at home, outside in the car … in fact anywhere, as stories are beautifully portable.  I know that adults listen along with their wee ones so I’ve decided to have 5 minutes at the end of the podcast just for the grown ups – JoJo Gnome’s Book Nook. I will be including a range of books from new books just published, to classics that have stood the test of time.  There will be stories from mainstream publishers and also small independent companies. This isn’t a literary critique, just me bringing books I’ve enjoyed to share with you with your wee ones.

In podcast #25 JoJo Gnome’s Noisy Walk the books chosen all use sound in an interesting way.

“We’re Going On A Bear Hunt” written by Michael Rosen and Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, published by Simon & Schuster.

My Big Shouting Day written and Illustrated by Rebecca Patterson, published by Jonathan Cape.

JoJo Gnome and the Sound Machine is written and illustrated by Jo Hall, sold online site.

Tune into the first Book Nook in podcast #25 and find out why these books are creating a bit of noise and worth picking up.

Advert for JoJo Gnome's podcast number 25. Show JoJo Gnome holding the sound machine.

Next time I’ll be looking at some books with numbers in them.
