The Coal Mine - for minors and miners





The Coal Mine book available on the 
Rockpool Albury Bookshelf
is a picture book that spans ages and interests.
It's interesting for the young as it tells the
story of a different era, of industrial
practices that today seem incredible - how men
worked in such extreme and dangerous conditions. 
It's a book interesting to those who worked in
the mining industry as Derek Slater's
paintings capture brilliantly the working day
familiar to those who were involved.
It's also interesting to those interested in 
fine art as Derek's paintings are showcased
beautifully in this book. 






The Funny Little Moon Man - A Very Special Visitor


There's two great space adventure books
available on the Rockpool Albury Bookshelf.
The Funny Little Moon Man books are by Simon Partington,
and the first is 'A Very Special Visitor'.
Sam is amazed to see a rocket
heading towards his house!
It lands and out pops a funny little moon man...
and so begins a wonderful space adventure! 






Nosy Barker


Now available on the Rockpool Albury Bookshelf
'Nosy Barker' - words and pictures by Stuart Trotter.
Nosy Barker is the little dog with a very big
inquisitive nose that gets him into all sorts
of trouble as he ‘sniff, sniff, sniffs’ into everything!





Lulubell Ladybird

Available on the Rockpool Albury Bookshelf is Sam Walshaw's
wonderful 'Lulubell Ladybird'.
Mrs Ladybird is very busy, with so many children, 
and so much to do. Thank goodness for caring Lulubell, who, 
as usual, steps in and helps
in a way that only Lulubell can!
Lovely, colourful pictures illustrate this charming story
for the very young.
