Book recommendations

[mumofone]

Hi, can anyone recommend me some books for my mindees on - exploring wind and also ny books that cover EAD?
No jokes about wind! ;-)

My default is Pat Hutchinson. The old / 1970's Julia Donaldson!

For fiction I recomend :

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wind-Blew-Pat-Hutchins/dp/0027459101/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1462563018&sr=1-1&keywords=Wind+Pat+Hutchins

But there is nothing better than actually walking out on a windy day....or in the garden. Wind ribbons - dancing ribbons but we use them outside. Dare I say windmills, spinning in the LO's hands fast. Kites and a washing line with dolls clothes.....first hand experience. I love walking in the wind and feeling it on my face and body, turning around and feeling it on your back.....so many people stay in when it's windy...but here we go out!
Read the book.....experience ..... Talk.

Mrs Mopples Washing Line - can't remember the author off the top of my head

I'm sure there is a lovely little series called 'Rainy Day' 'Windy Day' etc (or very similar words).

There is also 'After the Storm' (Percy the Park keeper series)

'Elmer and the Wind' but I don't personally like that one too much.

I absolutely love weather and seasons books and have looked for windy day books a few times, so I'll try and remember some more.

Do you mean theory books for you to read yourself?

No sorry books for the children.....

Whilst EAD is primarily about exploring and actively interacting and experiencing art, music, dance and an imaginary world I do have a few books that stimulate the doing aspect.

I firstly couldn't let this opportunity pass to promote my son's partners book!

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Explore-Draw-Patterns-Activity-Book/dp/1782401407/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1462611825&sr=8-3-fkmr1&keywords=georgia+mason+bradshaw

It is aimed at primary age children rather than Early years. Georgia was a commissioning editor for Ivy press childrens publisher and they published a few books that you actually explore and draw or design or cut the book. Amazon have an Ivy Press page.

I use a book called The scribble book by Heve Tullet, it gives scribbling importance.

I am not a big fan of books with sound buttons but I have two that are popular here:
Welcome to the orchestra - Carolyn Sloan - it's about Bethoven's 5th, which my LO's like to listen to so the book is popular.

Also The little book of garden bird songs by Andrea Pinnington- we keep this in the garden hide and the children use it to check which bird is singing.
We had a thread some time ago about using artists to stimulate painting and there were a number of books recommended in that thread.

Story books that stimulate imagination are a must and probably already in your book box.

A well thumbed book is our Nutcracker suite - my LO's love to watch the ballerinas and dance along to a DVD we have. This book invariably stimulates them to dance.

Thanks flora :-)
How does the The little book of garden bird songs feed into EAD exactly?
They all sound like lovely books :-) Thank you so much for sharing :-)
Can I ask why you are not a fan of sound button books?
