Amazing Octopus by Michael Stavaric would suit a thoughtful reader of 7+. Quite serious in tone - full of facts and stunning black and white illustrations. There’s also one by the same author about jellyfish. #bookelves2024

What age group are you looking for? 5+? Niamh's book is excellent for age 8+ but there are other books available for younger children. Have a look at this one.

Next up we have the brilliant Paddy Donnelly. Fox and Son Tailors is another outstanding picture book (age 4+) and his new one, The Golden Hare is also a stunner.

#BookElves2024 can you help find suitable books for primary age students?
Wondering if anyone knows of a similar book for younger grades that might help autistic primary students understand that there are many different ways to be autistic, & how to get along w each other from a place of common understanding despite different support needs.
Being Autistic by Niamh Garvey and Rebecca Burgess

Wonderful non-fiction book, dyslexia-friendly. Clear, easy to understand for kids. Positive approach with respect & compassion. Fun appealing pics. Age 8-12

Fantastic book, a great one for all the little girls who know big roars #BookElves2024 #LateLateToyShow
There are roars galore on #TheLateLateShow 🦖 but none louder than the one your little one will make after reading this beauty by Olivia Hope and Fiona Woodcock! 🦁 Loved this! #BookElves2024

For readers who like fantasy with a touch of horror try Derek Landy's Skulduggery Pleasant books (age 11+) and if they have read them all, try Bad Magic - his new graphic novel. Age 15+ as it is quite gruesome!
