|summary=Simple, sparse It's a fun story and minimalist it may be, but a little bit whacky and we think that it's superb, laced with humour and wonderful illustrationsone that parents will love as much as children. Emily Gravett does it again with an excellent It's simple enough for older pre-schoolers to enjoy as a shared book and silly enough for the very youngest older childrento enjoy reading for themselves. It's gorgeous, as is [[Apple Pie ABC by Alison Murray]] - the classic alphabet tale of an apple pie, rejigged, and with a wonderfully lively dog trying to get some of that tasty goodness. Put issues of originality right out of your mind - as alphabet books go, this is up there book with the very best''shelf life''.

Educators are concerned about the number of children starting school who don't know any of the traditional fairy tales. We loved [[Me and You Best-loved Classics: Rapunzel by Anthony BrowneSarah Gibb|Rapunzel by Sarah Gibb]] is the Goldilocks tale from a fresh perspective, but the more you dig, the more Me and You will reveal. It's an utterly Absolutely gorgeous picture book that works on so so so many levelsartwork makes this story a joy to read.Perfect for princess-loving little girls!

If you're looking for something amusing then have a look at In [[Tortoise vs. Hare - The Rematch! Susan Laughs by Preston Rutt Jeanne Willis and Ben RedlichTony Ross]] we watch as Susan does a lot of things that normal children do. She laughs, rides a pony, paints a picture, plays on a roundabout and scares her granny with a jack-in- a hilarious-box. She is just a normal child, thrilling and wonderful look at the rematch between the tortoise and the harebut Susan needs a wheelchair. It's got all the energy of a Bugs Bunny cartoonlovely, transferred perfectly to a picture booknon-preachy message that we can all appreciate.

If you're looking for something seasonal we can recommend Who would believe that [[The Christmas Eve Ghost Kipper by Shirley Hughes]] and [[The Polar Express by Chris Van AllsburgMick Inkpen|Kipper]] is twenty one? This is a lovely anniversary edition of the classic book but with a ten-episode DVD as a bonus.
