First 5 Forever is an early childhood literacy development initiative of State Library of Queensland delivered in partnership with Queensland public libraries. Research shows that in their first years of life your child's brain forms over one million new connections every second. First 5 Forever sessions at The Corner at State Library, at Queensland public libraries and information on our website help build a strong foundation for your child’s future development.

What we’re reading this April: books on pets

⭐ The Pigeon Wants a Puppy! by Mo Willems
⭐ Land Shark by Beth Ferry
⭐Can I Be Your Dog? by Troy Cummings
⭐ The Perfect Pet by Margie Palatini
⭐ Not Norman: A Goldfish Story by Kelly Bennett

Stories about pets help children learn about empathy, responsibility and caring for others. They also spark conversations about different kinds of families, feelings and what it means to belong. From cheeky pigeons to unexpected pets, these stories are full of laughs, heart and imagination. Which one will you read first?

Children are learning everywhere everyday! Take a walk on country to collect natural materials together, in your yard or at the park, and talk about the collection with a back and forth conversation to build your child's language and lifelong learning.
