Hmmm, I think we could do with "When Mummy Turned into a Monster".


For small ones who find it impossible to sit still for even the shortest book, I recommend the Sam Lloyd puppet books. We have 'Hello Dudley', about a disgusting monster who won't brush his teeth and likes to wipe his nose on peoples skirts. Strangely enough it was adored by a 2 year old who had previosly had no interest in books. Who'd have thought it?

I watched a bit of it on a plane, but was too tired to get in to it. I'm sure the film is good, it just seems to take away some of the magic of the book and the drawings IMO.

There are some really good reworkings of classic fairy stories, i.e Cinderella, Princess and the pea etc for when the dreaded princess phase hits for girls and you (or this may be just me) physically cannot bear to re-read anymore ladybird princess classics.... ;-)

Lauren Child, who does Charlie and Lola redid Princess and the Pea in brilliant style - she and a dollshouse person built a set for each page. Really cool, and a bit of light relief for the reader...

Ella's big chance is a good rework of Cinderella, although also have a cool Art Deco inspired one.

I also really still like the Mr Men/Little Miss books, perfect for a book treat without breaking the bank.

Snowboarder - Dear Zoo has only been mentioned once and it's great for the 12-18mths stage - it was one of the first books that both of mine loved. Also the same author's (Rod something?) Buster books (even if Buster does look a little old to be wearing a babygro all day long).


Other favourites of ours:

The Tiger Who Came To Tea

Lots of Julia Donaldson, particularly Squash and a Squeeze and the Gruffalo

Duck in the Truck

Wibbly Pig, particularly Is It Bedtime?

Pants

That Rabbit belongs to Emily Brown

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. Amazon says it's age 4-8 but my three year old has been known to whisper the poem to us at bedtime........ wow melt your heart.


This on WILL make you cry, no doubt about it. Sometimes I get teary just THINKING about it!.


All of the other Munsch books are fantastic too.

    • Absolutely agree , the pool is in a disgusting state at the moment. I’ve also noticed how dirty it’s been lately, especially around the edges and in the changing rooms. It’s honestly at the point where it feels unhygienic, and I wouldn’t be surprised if people got sick from swimming in it. You’ve done the right thing by reporting it  hopefully if more of us raise concerns , they’ll take it seriously. Happy to add my voice to any formal complaint or petition if that helps. Thanks for speaking up — you’re definitely not alone!  
    • Let's see if we can get a key so the notice board can actually be updated by someone who cares and has time (thank you Jellybeanz, if you want to do that, and if Sue can get a key), or we can have a group of key holders and content managers. It's not hard is it. There's not really any point having one if it doesn't have information
    • I  got a take away yesterday evening.  I stupidly ordered a side as well as  a bowl.  I have a hefty appetite but I had leftovers for breakfast and still some for lunch-and delicious.
    • I find that very confusing to read, because you have not separated what I said in my previous post from your reply in a way that makes it easy to see who said what. It also makes it very hard to respond to what you have said without confusing things even further! Is there any reason why you didn't just use the quote option as usual?
