A is for Aliens Love Panta Claus by Claire Freedman and Ben Cort
Blogtour: Favourite Scary Books by Hyde and Squeak author / illustrator Fiona Ross
Welcome to Story Snug Fiona! Fiona Ross is the author / illustrator of Hyde and Squeak, a very amusing picture book that is based on the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. I watched as my daughter read the copy that Little Tiger sent us and a smile spread across her face as she…
Odd Dog Out by Rob Biddulph
We were very lucky to win a signed copy of Odd Dog Out in a Twitter giveaway (thank you Rob Biddulph!). As big fans of Blown Away we were eager to see Rob’s latest picture book with its eye-catching cover. It’s a really fun story that conveys an important message about being who you are and…
Grandma Bendy and the Great Snake Escape by Izy Penguin
We giggled our way through Grandma Bendy and the Great Snake Escape. As a snake lover my daughter particularly enjoyed this very funny story and the humorous pictures supporting the text made us laugh. It’s a very funny first chapter book to encourage independent reading.
Happy Birthday Old Bear by Jane Hissey
Happy Birthday Old Bear! Old Bear is celebrating his 30th birthday this year and Jane Hissey has written Happy Birthday Old Bear to commemorate the occasion. As huge Old Bear fans we’ve been eagerly awaiting this new story and we absolutely love it. Jane’s familiar playroom characters are joined by a new friend, Elsie, a very cute…
School for Dads by Adam & Charlotte Guillain & Ada Grey
Very soon lots of children will be going back to school but what about their Dads? What happens when children need to teach their Dads how to behave?! We love this role reversal story which turns a familiar situation on its head in a way that children will identify with.
The Messy Book by Maudie Powell-Tuck & Richard Smythe
Cat and Dog, the main characters in The Messy Book make us laugh! A mess needs tidying but who will do it and how many excuses will be given before it gets done? Parents as well as children will identify with the situation in this amusing story and my daughter chortled her way through our first…
Not Enough For Queen Fluff by Rachel Lyon & Catalina Echeverri
Despite her dreadful behaviour we find Queen Fluff very amusing. She is such a spoilt and self centred bunny that it takes her a while to really realise what is important in life!
George and the New Craze by Alice Hemming & Kimberley Scott
George and his friends from the Heavenly Hippos Wildlife Park are back with a new craze! They’re collecting people cards!
The Giraffe And The Pelly And Me by Roald Dahl & Quentin Blake
We read The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me in one sitting, the pace, the humour and the originality of the story kept us turning the pages until the end. A cast of colourful characters, a burglar and an amazing sweetshop feature in this amusing adventure.
