Nursery World - Children's books: Best of the bunch

Karen Hart takes her pick of the best recent releases. These include Time to get Dressed – part of a new series by Penny Tassoni designed to support all children to be independent – and Sophie Dahl's seriously funny The Worst Sleepover in the World.

Time to Get Dressed
Penny Tassoni and Mel Four (illustrator)
Featherstone
£5.99

Part of a series of Time to.... titles; these little picture books use simple words and colourful illustrations to help explain the reasons we do everyday things, while encouraging children to have a go themselves.

There’s a lot packed into these little books, with Time to Get dressed, in keeping with the series, having interactive pages asking questions such as which of the clothes pictured would you put on first, and last, and can you match up the pairs of socks and shoes? As well as instructions for putting on your own clothes. Other titles in the series include Time to Go to Bed, Time to Go to Nursery, and Time to Care.
