This is a new book for us and I can’t believe we missed out on it before. It is full of colour illustrations of the creatures that live under the sea and each picture has plenty of details to look at. The book is has each page dedicated to a different animal with a funny rhyme that describes it….
This is a really good book with a cartoon style layout and funny pictures. The story of Cuddley Dudley is that he wants everyone to leave him alone so he can play by himself and he goes to different lengths to avoid all the other penguins who want to cuddle him…
This is a lovely little book with colourful pictures of Dimity Duck as she spends the day playing with her friend Frumity Frog. It is quite fun to read as each page is written in verse with some odd nonsense words thrown in…
Debi Gliori is a fantastic writer of children’s books and every book we read becomes a favourite with the children for one reason or another. Flora is the youngest of a large family of rabbits and the book tells a story of the whole family growing things in the garden…
The children were first introduced to Charlie and Lola, not on the television, but on the Cbeebies website. This year they received three of the Charlie and Lola series as a present and all the stories are popular.

Our book before bed tonight was about a little cat who could not play outside because it was raining. He played with his squeaky mouse his mummy told him off for making a noise…
This is a sweet little story that engages the children as they understand the different emotions of Lettice and her family. The language of this book is descriptive yet easy to understand and the story flows along quite nicely…
Tonight we had a magic book that changed colour. It was all about Rosie May who had to choose which colour dress she would wear.
Mr Gumpy’s Outing is one of those children’s books from the 1970s that has probably become a classic. The illustrations remind me of all my books when I was little and I think that the children find them a nice change from the brash cartoon pictures and CGI images that they see…
This hilarious book is just the kind of thing that children go for. All about pants, it had funny cartoons on every page and the text is great to read aloud. The nonsensical rythmic ryhmes really get the children going in this book….
