"biscuit bear"
This is a lovely story written by Mini Grey and accompanied by an audio cd narrating the book, read by Mark Gatiss. The story is all about a biscuit bear and his night time adventure. He decides to bake himself some friends,and they are having a fantastic time untill bongo the dog stumbles upon them in the kitchen and eats them all....except for biscuit bear who escapes and decides he needs to find somewhere safe for a bear to be!This is such a great story, with a happy ending too. The illustrations are fantastic and so detailed, along with the narration cd you really do feel like you are there. My three year old daughter and two year old son- who usually fight over everything, love this book and will sit happily together looking at it. We have had the book for some time now and both still love it. Highly recommended!

"GRUMPY DAD"
oh what a story! i loved, loved, loved it! both Nathan and i enjoyed how the story went and i was particularly happy by the way it was written as it allowed even the most reserved reader to really interact and get into the character and tone of the book. intonation was quite a big feature of this book and there was no way you could read it aloud and not get into character....lol
my husband and i agreed that there should be one called 'Grumpy Mom' cos he thinks there was more of me in the book than him...lol
would totally recommend this book to anyone who was nervous about their storytelling ability...

"EVIL WEASEL"
I received Evil Weasel to review with my children.
It is about a weasel who is very rich and nasty to everyone. He has a party and nobody comes. He decides to rectify all he has done wrong and makes friends with those who dislked him. Then he has another party for his friends.
Cole - 4yrs - decided he didnt like weasel, but he said if he said sorry it would make everything better and he would make some friends.
Kira - 6yrs - said she knew someone like weasel and they should do what weasel did and they might have more friends.
Both of them sat through the story nicely, listening and pointing out funny things in the pictures.
I think the story is great and the pictures are very well drawn with little bits put in there for the parent to enjoy.
Great book and I will be reading it a few more times yet.

"`Knight Time`"
My 4 year old, 2 year old and 1 year old all loved this book. They will listen to it over and over and over.
The book is full of surprise flaps with pictures hidden under them and has parts that have textures added to the pages. The middle has a big pull out of the woods at night.
An absolute favourite in our house and a fab read.

"The Saddest King"
My Son loved this book. It's meant to be aimed at 5years+ but my oldest is nearly 4 and he was mesmerised.
The pictures are full of detail that never fail to provide new finds and the story is the right length that he didnt get bored and kept him interested in what was going to happen next.
He has asked for this book to be read to him for 3 nights in a row now, so it must be a hit!

"Is This My Nose?"
As soon as this arrived Jaidyn was clambering over me to read it.
It's bright and appealing to toddlers (Jaidyn will make me read it about 10 times before she'll even contemplate getting off my knee!)
Each page asks a question like "Can you find your eyes, eyes, eyes?" with a picture of animal and a picture of a baby pointing to the appropriate feature. At the end the final question is "Can you find the mirror, mirror, mirror?" and you (or your toddler) lifts a flap to reveal a mirror. Jaidyn loves the mirror and at first she would turn the pages quicker than we could read and point out features just to get to the mirror. Now she'll happily go through the whole book and then spend ages pointing at the parts of her face while looking in the mirror. She even gets her cuddly toys and points out their features.
I think this is a book that no toddler should be without and I think I can safelt say Jaidyn does too
