‘Dogs Don’t do Ballet’ by Anna Kemp

November 20, 2015August 16, 2019Leave a comment

Another great read for anti-bullying week: It's Biff's dearest wish to be a ballet dancer but everybody knows that dogs don't do ballet! Or do they.............? This funny and heart-warming book proves that everybody is unique and should follow their dreams. I wish I could pirouette; it would be useful for dodging lasers! Book Boy.

‘Tyrannosaurus Drip’ by Julia Donaldson

It's Anti-bullying week in the United Kingdom and we superheroes take bullying very seriously. This fab picture book combines the humour and rhyming prose you'd expect from a Julia Donaldson book but also celebrates individual differences and unexpected heroes.               Poor peace-loving Duckbill hatches in the wrong nest and … Continue reading ‘Tyrannosaurus Drip’ by Julia Donaldson

You Choose – Nick Sharratt and Pippa Goodhart

If you could be anything, what would you be?  'You choose' is an excellent book for getting children talking. Hours can be spent happily discussing all the detailed illustrations and making up stories. I think I'll be a superhero! Book Boy.

This roarsome read is in another dimension!  Download the special app and bring the dinosaurs back to life straight from the pages of a book.

A must for lovers of books about Knights, dragons and their....poo! Any young child will love this tale of the pint-sized Sir Scallywag and his daring plan to get revenge on the dastardly Baron Greedyguts. Awesome poo-filled fun! Book Boy.

Princess Daisy and the Dragon …

November 16, 2015August 16, 2019Leave a comment

...and the Nincompoop Knights by Steven Lenton. I love books about princesses with attitude and this is not your typical fairy tale with a typical helpless princess.  A great twist on a traditional story, complete with a fair princess, a fire-breathing dragon and some not-so-heroic knights. Recommended for lovers of laughs and all things princess. … Continue reading Princess Daisy and the Dragon …

Hello reading superheroes! I was lucky enough to get a signed copy of this book, which is the second in the brilliant Shifty McGifty series.  This book is all about two bad-dogs-turned-good, Shifty and Sam, who are leading an honest life in their popular cake shop until a mysterious cat named Ruby appears on their … Continue reading Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam – The Cat Burglar
