Learning & Development: Book choice

For three- to five-year-olds

Evil Weasel by Hannah Shaw, Jonathan Cape, paperback, £10.99

Weasel is evil and, thanks to his mean tricks, super-rich. Not content with just having a castle, swimming pool and fast car, he decides to flaunt it at a grand party. Only no one turns up. His bullied little friends soon set him straight: they didn't come, because he is a terrible friend who never says sorry. And, so, Weasel tries to learn the error of his ways and be good.

Older children within the EYFS will enjoy Shaw's debut tale, with its chaotic and detailed drawings and important messages about greed and friendship. A story for our times?
