|summary=When Lucy’s dad offers to paint her bedroom walls, she is adamant that she only wants them to be white.

However, Lucy jokes that it’s not just white because there is actually a white monster hiding in the white snow. Her dad agrees and before long she has a freshly painted bedroom. The only problem is that, when she tries to go to sleep, she wishes that she hadn’t mentioned the monster because he keeps her awake with his grunting and growling.

|title=Maya Makes a Mess
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=For once it is almost impossible to make a plot summary without giving almost the whole game away – such is the brevity of this bright and breezy book for those youngsters still reading with some supervision. Maya is at home and nothing she can do when eating lunch is to her parents' taste – her posture, her table manners or her use of the dog for leftovers. But lo and behold when they give the Queen as an example where she might need more decorum, there then comes a summons to dinner from the Queen – who would be more than surprised to see Maya in action…

|title=Tales for Great Grandchildren
|rating=5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=
I love old folk tales and fables. The treasure chest of myth and legend contains universal stories, as relevant today as they were in the ancient communities in which they were first told. They speak of love, loss, jealousy, courage, cowardice and grief. They wonder about the world in which we live. They offer explanations, some magical, some plain common sense. They're joyful. They're sad. And sometimes they're frightening. They have all the light and shade that adds up to the human experience.

|title=Mum's Cronky Car
|rating=3.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Mum's car is, well, not the most recent model. In fact it's falling apart and wouldn't even start if it didn't get a push from Dad. The journey to school in this patchwork car held together by bits of string and willpower is full of uncertainty. When they stop at the traffic lights will the car move again - and when it just dies in traffic what can they do? Then one day something rather magical happens. They're stalled in traffic, wondering what to do next, when the car drifts into the sky and flies them all to the school gates. Suddenly this isn't an old wreck but an adventure.
