This book is so wonderful in its insightful simplicity! It's all about the little things that Annie Rose's brother notices about her and their relationship and it's just darling! I love the part where Annie Rose plays "store" with leaves and shells and things outside--so true of childhood! The illustrations are great, too--the kids are so cute you just want to hug them.

Sweet illustrations they almost look like studies and sweet stories about a little boy and his toddler sister. In is Annie Rose is My Little Sister we see Alfie's sister through his eyes. My kids are especially captured by the beautiful illustrations of the ocean. Sep 22, Gervy rated it really liked it Shelves: kidlet-ageto I love Shirley Hughes. This is a very sweet story and the illustrations are delightful. This is such a cute book! We found it in Oxford as a bookswap item, and it didn't look very promising, but I was like, OK, we read it once and then we hide it. But then The story is about a little girl and his big brother - and I happen to have a little girl with an older brother, who was fond of the particulars of the story, where everything rang so true - like the boy playing with trains and the little girl joining in Annie Rose is My Little Sister the boy taking the trains away so that he can play alone So we decid This is such a cute book! So we decided to keep the book and leave an other one in the bookswap in return. Aug 24, Andrew Davies rated it really liked it. Alongside 'Dogger', Shirley Hughes' series of 'Alfie' picture books are probably among her most famous work and 'Annie Rose is My Little Sister', published inis surprisingly one of the most recent in the collection. As Alfie describes his relationship with his little sister and the good and no-so-good times of their home life together, there are so many chords that will strike with many young readers' own lives, and those of their siblings: playing with each other's toys, bedtimes, Annie Rose is My Little Sister Alongside 'Dogger', Shirley Hughes' series of 'Alfie' picture books are probably among her most famous work and 'Annie Rose is My Little Sister', published inis Annie Rose is My Little Sister one of the most recent in the collection. As Alfie describes his relationship with his little sister and the good and no-so-good times of their home life together, there are so many chords that will strike with many young readers' own lives, and those of their siblings: playing with each other's toys, bedtimes, trips to the seaside, playing with nature, going shopping and circles of friends. Hughes' distinctive style of colourful illustration throughout brings the story to life, and the more you look, the greater the detail there is to be discovered. Hughes subtly considers how older and younger children - and people - depend on each other so much for contrasting things: no matter our age, none of us can be an island. There is plenty of opportunity for discussion of friend and sibling relationships in the EYFS classroom - how can we be a good friend, brother or sister? At the same time however, perhaps the book throws up inclusivity challenges for some readers that Hughes may not intend: when she started the series insociety and literature rarely acknowledged children of various races, financial backgrounds, differently-formed families or disabilities, and thus for children with one parent, two parents of the same gender, many siblings with wider age divides, or children whose families cannot afford holidays or roomfuls of toys, Alfie's simple pleasures may seem a little alien Annie Rose is My Little Sister even distressing. For families who have experienced sibling bereavement, the memories Hughes may evoke, especially about children being siblings 'forever However, this is not Hughes' intention and provided teachers know their Annie Rose is My Little Sister and those children's backgrounds well, such eventualities could be effectively managed. Oct 07, Yazmeen rated it really liked it. The older brother loves hanging out and doing things with his little sister. However, sometimes there are things the older brother wants to do that his little sister is too little for. Sometimes he also would like to do some things on his own. Even though he wants these things he is still a loving brother and when she is throwing a fit and crying he is the only one that can make her feel better. The overall theme is how important family is. It's important that you still treat your siblings Annie Rose is My Little Sister respect and be nice to them and have a connection with them. Annie Rose is My Little Sister can be your best friends. When I read this book I felt happy that the brother was willing to hang out with his sister and actually enjoys it. He treats her with respect and is always friendly to her. Often times you see siblings who aren't very friendly most times and only do things to annoy each other. I would definitely recommend this book because it is a great example of how siblings should be towards each other. This book can be easily relatable if you have siblings and I believe it is nice to see an example of how families should interact most of the time. Jan 11, Sarah Middlestead rated it it was amazing Shelves: reads. Shirley Hughes captures childhood perfectly in word and illustration. Even my 13 year old boy hung around while I read this aloud to my 6-year old. Jul 28, Liz rated it really liked it Shelves: children-s-books.

    FREE THE SHIRLEY HUGHES COLLECTION PDF Shirley Hughes | 352 pages | 23 Nov 2000 | Random House Children's Publishers UK | 9780370326825 | English | London, United Kingdom The Shirley Hughes Collection | The Home Library Online Her most well known stories are probably Dogger, which won the Kate Greenaway medal inand in an award for the best book ever to have won the Kate Greenaway Medalthe Lucy and Tom stories, which began in and the Alfie stories, which first appeared in This book is a collection of her work, as illustrator and author — most but not all of the stories were written by her, but all use her illustrations. There are nearly big pages of stories, prose and rhymes for children. Her style is naturalistic, she uses watercolours a lot. I love her incredibly expressive faces and there is much vivid and humorous detail for children to look at. The pictures dominate the writing, particularly in the sections for younger children, with lots of full page and double spread illustrations and the writing seemingly added around them rather than the other way around. Alfie stories dominate the early part of this section, which is the part I have spent most time reading with my daughter. According to my daughter this little The Shirley Hughes Collection is called Rebecca and she is very popular in our house. My only — The Shirley Hughes Collection minor — criticism is that occasionally some of the stories can be a bit wordy. The stories all have engaging themes for young children. They can be quite long stories about simple pleasures such as a trip to the seaside or a birthday party, things that may seem humdrum to us jaded adults but are wondrous new experiences to a young child.
