|title=101 Places in Italy : A Private Grand Tour
|rating=4.5
|genre=Travel
|summary=Initially I struggled to describe this book. It's not a guide book: maps are intended only to give you a rough idea of where the towns, cities and villages are - even major rivers are not shown. There are no opening times of museums or other details which the visitor might need and whilst it's a tremendous help to the tourist there's a sense throughout the book of their being people who are best avoided if at all possible. November and February seem to be the best months for your visit in many cases. The 101 places you'll visit in the book are given no wider importance than the works of art within them. Finally I accepted that the subtitle of the book - ''A Private Grand Tour'' was the most appropriate.

|title=Grasshopper Jungle
|summary=We [[I Am A Giant (Tiny the Giant) by Dom Conlon and Nicola Anderson|first]] met Tiny when he was but a young giant and determined to prove that he was ''big''. When all seemed lost he was proved to be right and the day (as well as his pride) was saved. This time he's taken on an even bigger task. He knows that giants need big things to eat and he's got his eyes on the moon. Actually, he's licking his lips, but it doesn't impress the moon...
