The Dressing-Up Dad by Maudie Smith & Paul Howard
The Dressing-Up Dad is a fun loving, very unique Dad, he isn’t ‘ordinary’ like other dads! Danny and his dad have great fun dressing up together but when Dad becomes an ordinary dad for a day, Danny learns how important it is to be encouraged to be yourself.
Perfectly Norman by Tom Percival
Perfectly Norman is the story of how Norman’s everyday life changes when he grows a pair of wings. We love the way that Tom Percival sensitively takes us through Norman’s insecurities and experiences until he bravely confronts his anxieties and learns to accept his new situation.
Rooster Wore Skinny Jeans by Jessie Miller & Barbara Bakos
Rooster Wore Skinny Jeans is definitely one of the most eye catching picture book titles that we’ve come across. It really invited us to open the book and we weren’t disappointed! Rooster’s story is as funny as the title suggests but it also shows that it takes courage to be yourself, regardless of the reactions…
Ghost Story Box: Create Your Own Spooky Tales by Ella Bailey
We love Story Box: Create Your Own Fairytales and Ghost Story Box: Create Your Own Spooky Tales is just as much fun. Making spooky (or not so spooky!) stories using the large jigsaw pieces from The Ghost Story Box would be a fun activity for a Halloween party. We spent a long time discussing which…
The Storm Dog by Holly Webb & Artful Doodlers
The Storm Dog takes us back in time with Tilly who is learning about life in World War Two for a school project. Great-Gran is nearly ninety and sends Tilly a parcel which takes her back in time to give her the experience of an evacuee firsthand. We really enjoyed this story, as well as…
Goodnight Baby Moon by James Mitchem & Claire Patane
Goodnight Baby Moon is a gorgeous, sturdy board book with a fabulous cover that lights the moon up at the press of a button! It’s a beautiful, beautiful rhyming introduction to the different phases of the moon.
Harper and the Fire Star by Cerrie Burnell & Laura Ellen Anderson
Harper and the Fire Star is a beautifully written story full of mystery, secrets and musical magic. We were quickly drawn into Harper’s adventure, captivated by the colourful characters in The Circus of Dreams and intrigued by the mysterious Fire Star. We couldn’t stop reading until we got to the end of the book!

Happy 5th Birthday Story Snug! I really can’t believe that I have been blogging for five years! I had no idea when I started Story Snug that it would become such a big and important part of my life but I’m still having lots of fun blogging, last week we published our 500th blogpost. We…
My Miniature Library by Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini
My Miniature Library is a breathtakingly beautiful book making kit with templates to make 30 tiny books. There’s even a tiny bookcase to store them in (although the dolls in our dolls house also have some on their bookcase now too!). We had a wonderful time making and then reading these little books which, along…
