Disney Tangled
Ben Smiley (Author)
Victoria Ying (Illustrator)
Any young girl who has seen this
film would have had her heart
leap for joy at the sight of this
book. The author has tried to
incorporate as much of the film in
the pages, and even have one of
the concept artists who worked
on the film actually illustrate it! easier for children from
For those who haven’t watched
it, though, Tangled is Disney’s
rendition of the age-old classic
Rapunzel with lots and lots of
twists! Packed with adventure
and romance, the story revolves
around the legendary heroine
and her unlikely ‘knight in shining first and second graders
armour’. Kids as young as 2 years
may not be able to read just yet
but the illustrations are sure to
keep them glued just the same!
From Caterpillar to
Butterfly
(Let’s-Read-and-
Find-Out Science,
Stage 1)
Deborah Heiligman
(Author)
Bari Weissman (Illustrator)
Now where have the
caterpillar gone? The
book is on a classroom
setting that makes it much
kindergarten to relate to
it. It aims to satisfy the
kids’ curiosity in a very
well-illustrated, colourful
manner. Some words may
be quite a mouthful for
the younger ones. But
may find this as a perfect
tool in understanding
how butterflies come
to be — in the scientific
sense. The overall concept
is highly comprehensible
by youngsters. And the
imagery is just as detailed.
You may find yourself
entertained in the process
too.

is a heart-warming collection
of the various situations where
your kids can experience
silence. Adorable animals add
to the charm factor of this fancy
read. Fun and heart-pinching,
The Quiet book illustrates the
likes of ‘first look at your new
hairstyle quiet,’ ‘pretending
you’re invisible quiet’ and
‘last one to get picked up
from school quiet’. It renders
gentleness that may just bring
about more “Aww!” than “Shh!”
from its readers.
