A beautifully illustrated introduction to childhood concepts by beloved Kate Greenaway medal-winning illustrator.

In this classic collection by Kate Greenaway-winning author, Shirley Hughes, Katy and her little brother Olly are having a wonderful time learning about the world around them. From counting in the park with Grandpa, waiting to cross the road with Mum, or even the very noisy sound of Dad vacuuming, there are so many first things to discover on their childhood adventures.

All Around Me: A First Book of Childhood brings together some of her earlier books for tinies, introducing counting and shapes and noises. Spectator
