When Puffin Books released its handbook of the 70 best books for children, to celebrate their 70th anniversary of publishing children’s books this year, we were all excited in the Play and Learning department to see if our favourites had made it in. While I was looking through the list for The Tiger Who Came for Tea by Judith Kerr, I couldn’t believe how many different places at Eureka! reflected the different books.
With that in mind I’ve come up with a small trail that you can use to continue your learning after a visit to Eureka!—or use to get ready for a trip through the galleries!
This week we’re following the trail through Living and Working Together.
The Jolly Postman is by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. He follows his route through the neighbourhood, delivering the letters to all manner of fantastic fairy tale characters. Would you like to be a jolly postman? You’ll have to put on your post delivery clothes, and collect your packages from the post office. Once you’re ready there are so many places and people around the gallery waiting for their post!
Lauren Child’s retelling of The Princess and the Pea is our final place on the trail, and what better way to end a long day than in a nice comfy bedroom. Count the mattresses, are they enough for a picky princess? Do you think you could feel a single pea
