|title=Minikid (Little Gems)
|author=Michael Morpurgo
|rating=3.5
|genre=Dyslexia Friendly
|summary=There seem to be more and more books being published, now, that are marketing themselves as being dyslexia friendly. This Michael Morpurgo story is from Little Gems and it follows the guidelines that make it easier to read for children with dyslexia. The paper is a high quality cream paper, so no shadows coming through from the other side to distract readers, there's a special font, and there are pictures throughout the story. It's a lovely size that fits nicely into small hands, with an appealing cover. So far, so good!

|title=Complex 90
|summary=There is a boy who likes kicking a ball. It’s the best thing of all for him, and there’s nothing he’d rather be doing, nowhere he’d rather be. We see his bedroom and this has some football albums in, and a football table, but his interest is definitely with playing rather than being on the side lines. There are other ball sports too, of course, but he’s not into tennis or volleyball or golf or cricket or hockey or netball or playing catch with a child in a wheelchair (nice touch). No, kicking a ball is where it’s at.

|title=Macavity,the Mystery Cat
|author=T S Eliot and Arthur Robins
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=There’s nothing my little boy likes more than to sit down with a tome of good poetry. Currently he is reading T.S. Eliot. Well, that’s what I will be telling them down at playgroup anyway. No need to add that it’s not ‘The Wasteland’. The poem in this volume is actually just one from ‘Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats’ and features the inimitable scoundrel of the title, ''Macavity''.
