A few weeks back I received some beautiful children’s books by Christine Penberthy through the mail which will be going off to a lovely home. However, I know a lot of you have children yourself, so I thought it would be fun to offer one of you the chance to Christine’s books for yourself.
However, before we get into the competition let me tell you a little about her latest book In the Garden.
In the Garden by Christine Penberthy
Christine Penberthy both writes and illustrates her books, with In The Garden being the perfect summertime read for children.
In The Garden follows two caterpillars and the huge changes they face as they transform from chrysalis to butterflies. During the book, we meet different hidden inhabitants of a summer garden, from a pond full of frogs to the insects that skip across the water, all of which happens while the two children of the house run and play in the garden. Of course, the book sees the caterpillars turn into beautiful butterflies who fly off into the summer sky. While it all ends with an owl and a starry sky and all being well within the garden.
As you might expect each of the pages within the book is beautifully accompanied by an illustration.
Which, perhaps unsurprisingly, means it has been said to be a great bedtime read for children.
In The Garden comes in at £7.99 and can be bought from Amazon (affiliate link) or via Christine’s own website.
This is Christine’s second book with the first being:
The Little Yellow Car
Have you ever wondered where you might go if your car grew wings? Well, Bert and Doris get to find out when their little yellow car sprouts wings and they end up going out into space. While on their adventures they come across rides on bumper cars, rainbow slides, leaping dolphins and a sailing boat through the clouds.
The illustrations bring to life this magical adventure and allow the child to explore this beautiful tale with them.

Pin It!
I loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Seemed like such a great place to visit.
I loved the Famous Five books as I thought it was fantastic the adventures they got into.
I loved the Faraway Tree books from Enid Blyton as a child. Such a great story idea with wonderful characters.
Pippi Longstocking
I loved The Faraway Tree Stories by Enid Blyton. Such great stories and I just loved the character Moonface.
I’m showing my age but I loved the ‘Milly Molly Mandy’ books and Pippi Longstocking, when I was a child. Now I love reading to my 3 grandchildren aged 7,4 and 1 and they’ve all loved ‘Guess How Much I Love You’
