Rob Ramsden's awesome eye for colour and illustration, and his gentle storytelling encouraging kids to get outdoors once again comes to the fore in "We Found a Seed".
A little boy and girl are playing in the garden one day when they find something interesting. A tiny little seed.
They play with the seed for a while before realising it's not going to do anything until it's planted. But what will it grow into?
Time for a bit of tender loving care, and a lot of patience!
But when the seed finally sprouts, flowers and dies they're very sad - until they find it has left them lots of new seeds to plant! Hooray!
There's something quite magical about growing your own things in the garden - and this book beautifully captures that magic in a whimsical tale that's brilliant for muddy kneed green fingered kids everywhere.
Sum this book up in a sentence: A superb little book for early years kids, encouraging them to try growing their own things to see what sprouts from the soil.
"We Found a Seed" by Rob Ramsden is out now, published by Scallywag Press (kindly supplied for review).

"I Saw a Bee" by Rob Ramsden (Scallywag Press)
Are you scared of bees? Do you worry that they might sting you?
In "I Saw a Bee" a little boy isn't sure what to make of bees - and reacts aggressively at first.
But bees are hugely important to our ecosystem, in fact without bees we'd be in a whole heap of trouble - as our pollinating friends are vitally important to the world's plant life, busying themselves by ensuring that plants can reproduce and proliferate across our planet.
Using simple but effective repeating text to reinforce the message of how important bees are, the little boy in the story realises that looking after bees, providing them with lots of lovely flowers to gather pollen and nectar from, and helping his own garden to thrive can be hugely satisfying, as can doing every little bit you can to help maintain our planet's important species.

Sum this book up in a sentence: A brilliant and important little book for little ones just beginning to discover the delicate balances at work in our gardens and green spaces, as important insect species like Bees go about their daily business.
