Sweet Dreams, Maisy

The words to the story are a little dull but we make up our own story that works with the pictures and matches our own bedtime routine. My daugther loves saying hello to each of Maisy's friends as they are playing in the garden then waving goodbye to them all. We then talk through how Maisy and Panda get ready for bed, get into their pyjamas and have milk and a story. When Maisy kisses Panda goodnight, my daughter kisses Panda too. But most of all, she loves the shining moon and twinkling stars ... Read More:

My sister had these books so i thought i'd read them. I really enjoyed them (especially harry's book with all the comments!) as they look at the history and beings of magical creatures and quidditch and liked the witty humour in them, which makes them perfect for both children and adults. I ended up buying the book pack myself and in this pack, a library card sticker comes with it, which is great to see who has borrowed these books from the library. These are starting to become hard to get so grab a ... Read More:

Starting School (Picture Puffin)

Our local pre-school gives this book out every year to the children who are leaving to start school. The book follows several children as they start reception class through the first term up until Christmas. Whilst written as a childrens story book it is excellently thought out and very perceptive. My two older children were both given one and loved it! A great book to buy before your child starts school, and a good starting point for parents who wish to prepare their young child for that big step!

I am a fan, but this was not as good as the first book. Its abit like Cody Banks.
However it is still a great read, I am an adult and I enjoy these fast pace books. All the Alex Rider, Cody Banks, Young James Bond and Jason Steed books have been fast and great reading.
I dont know why they call them Young Adult, they are great for all ages.
My top 5 would have to be
1) Fledgling Jason Steed.
2) Blood Fever, Young James Bond.
3) Alex Rider, Strombreaker.
4) Agent Cody Banks.
6) ... Read More:

His Dark Materials Boxed set (His Dark Materials)
Best Selling > Books > Authors and Illustrators
by: Philip Pullman

April 02, 2007
Northern Lights is brilliant in almost every respect; fast-moving, well-written, imaginative. The Subtle Knife is almost as good, but begins to be diffuse. The Amber Spyglass is, frankly, rubbish. In order to understand what is going on here, you have to have read an obscure essay by a second-rank German author (Heinrich v. Kleist) that Pullman is always going on about. By a logic that defeats me, it concludes that a re-temptation of Eve will undo the disaster that came from the first temptation. Hence Lyra (she's the new Eve, ... Read More:

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2)
Best Selling > Books > Authors and Illustrators
by: J.K. Rowling

1999-02
Rowling has proved herself yet again to be a master of fantasy fiction in the second installment of the Hary Potter series. The characterisations initially developed in the 'Philosopher's Stone' are considered in depth by the author, allowing presumptions to be overturned, and the impossible to be considered. From the start of this work, adventure and excitement become codewords, allowing readers of any age to engage with the well written literature. Much recommended.

Just So Stories (Selected) (BBC Audio)

I'd always enjoyed being read and later reading myself the Just So Stories. With children of my own I started them on these stories and having a cd of them means we can enjoy them on the move. The joy of hearing Jonnie Morris' super animal voice characterisations just adds to the enjoyment - takes me back to watching Animal Magic - deep joy!
Four year old daughter enjoys listening to the stories but my nine year old son has become a great fan - this now regularly is on his cd player in his room.
Buy this and you'll all be able ... Read More:
