Who Will Play with Molly-May?

In this fun little picture story book set in Australia, young Molly-May can't find anyone to play with. Each day she gets up early and asks someone to play, but always ends up playing by herself. She asks her cousin and then various animals. She approaches a koala, a cassowary, a possum, and a lorikeet, but no one wants to play. On Saturday, everyone agrees to play and they have a lot of fun together. But on Sunday, when the others want to play, Molly-May is tired and she sleeps in and doesn't want to get out of bed! Glynis Bloomfield is an Australian who has worked as a teacher for twenty-five years in primary and special education schools in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East. She has a great interest in developing the self-esteem of her students and invoking confidence and trust, as well as developing an awareness of their role in respecting and protecting the environment. Her experience in Rudolf Steiner education developed her interest in storytelling and a belief in the importance of the use of the imagination in learning. In Steiner primary schools, students learn much of the curriculum through imagination and creativity, with storytelling being a key teaching tool. The satisfaction she has gained through watching children mesmerised as they are told, rather than read a story, has had a profound effect on her and led to her putting her stories in writing. This is her fourth book. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/GlynisBloomfield
