"With divorce, single-parent households and family crises on the rise, many people are experiencing the tumultuous dynamics of blended or step-families".
With a strong emphasis on faith and biblical principles, the individual stories and advice in this anthology show useful insight into what can happen within blended families and how to overcome delicate situations to become a strong and positive family unit.
These short tales look at situations, from different points of view, that can occur when two families are mixed into a new family unit. A useful read if you're going through this situation but also a good resource for ministers and other bodies that are often called upon for advice and guidance in this topic.
Winner of the Smarties Book Prize Gold Award, The Gruffalo is a wonderful children's book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
The rhyming prose tells the story of a little mouse who takes a walk in a deep dark wood and comes face to face with a fox, an owl, a snake and a Gruffalo. His quick-thinking gets him out of trouble.
Young children will love both the tale and the colour illustrations. The Gruffalo has become a regular reading request for my two year old and I’m sure will have the same effect on other youngsters.
There is also a ‘The Gruffalo Colouring book’ and ‘The Gruffalo Activity book’ in the series for children to continue the fun, and the website www.gruffalo.com for more Gruffalo activities and games.
A useful book
