Heather Heyworth - Riding on an Elephant


 "Riding on an elephant, what can I see?"
asks the little girl...quite a lot as it happens, as she 
rides through the jungle accompanied 
by Heather Heyworths gentle rhyme.
Another collaboration of Rockpool Children's Books,
Bish Bash Books, and Inkebooks brings another high
quality picture book to life.
As with all of Rockpool Children's Books, it's a delightful
reading experience, and now one, through the alliance
with Bish Bash Books, brought to life for 
a shared reading experience on the iPad.

Delightful!

Riding On an Elephant - Heather Heyworth

Sam Walshaw - Neandersmall


Rockpool Children's Books were delighted when Sam Walshaws
wonderful children's book Neandersmall was chosen by 
Bish Bash Books for their eBook programme. 
The eBook conversion was done to a very
high standard by Inkebooks. The book is a literary delight combining
Sam's fabulous storytelling and illustration with subtle animation,
read along, background music, and to cap it all a song, featured at the end
written and sung by the books narrator, Matt Marshak.
You can hear the song as it's featured on my previous blog.

More Neandersmall books are planned. 






 Author illustrator, Stuart Trotter, and owner of Rockpool Children's Books, 
and the current storyteller and illustrator for Rupert Bear, 
is now publishing fixed format ePub3, read out loud, picture books, 
in the iBookstore, allied with Bish Bash Books in New York.
