|title=Dirty Bertie: An English King Made in France
|author=Stephen Clarke
|rating=4
|genre=Biography
|summary=Although he was Anglo-German by birth, so Stephen Clarke suggests, King Edward VII was very much a Parisian by nature. As we would expect from the author of several lighthearted books on our Gallic neighbours, including ‘1000 Years of Annoying the French’, this is not the most weighty or solemn biography of the King you will ever find, but it is certainly an entertaining, racy gallop through the life of its subject.

|title=Josephine: Desire, Ambition, Napoleon
|summary=When reading ‘The Remaining’ by I had a warm feeling inside, not due to the psychological terror in the book, but because it seems that I am not the only person who is prepared for the inevitable zombie apocalypse. No more an illustrious group than the US Army itself is prepared. In each of the mainland States of America a trained soldier is moved underground whenever a potential disaster is on the horizon. Captain Lee Harden has found himself in his bunker several times, but has always climbed out again a few days later, until now.

|title=Horrid Henry
|author=Francesca Simon and Tony Ross
|rating=5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=I was talking to my son’s teacher recently and she was telling me about a class trip to the library. Apparently, as soon as the children got through the door, they all rushed, en-masse, to the ''Horrid Henry'' and ''Captain Underpants'' books. Squabbles ensued when there were not enough Horrid Henry books to meet demand.
