|author=A A Milne and E H Shepard

|title=Winnie-the-Pooh

|rating=5

|genre=Confident Readers

|summary=Is there anyone who doesn't know about Winnie-the-Pooh? You might know him as Pooh Bear and even if you haven't read the stories you'll know about playing Pooh Sticks or The Bear of Very Little Brain. This first book about the bear, originally published in 1926, has been translated into numerous language, including Latin - and that edition featured on the ''New York Times'' bestseller list. It's difficult to believe that Pooh will be ninety in October 2016, not least because he's ageless and the books which feature him are not in the least dated.

|title=Hamish and the Neverpeople

|summary=Lily did ''not'' want a goldfish. Nor did she want a hamster or a cat. She wanted a ''DOG'' and whilst she understood what Mum said about not being able to have a dog in the 5th floor flat without a garden she still thought it was unfair. After all, when they lived at Gran's house there was a garden and she could have had a dog, but then Mum and Gran had a row and they moved out. She hadn't even seen Gran for three months and she ''missed'' her. And the dog which she couldn't have. Even Keri, her best friend, though that she was going on a bit about the whole thing.

~~|title=Gulliver~~

~~|rating=4.5~~

~~|genre=Confident Readers~~

|summary=Be careful what you wish for. Gulliver wants adventure – and boy is he going to get it. His very first voyage ends in an almighty storm, which ends in him being washed onto a shore alone – but the shores of an island where he himself is almighty, compared to the inhabitants. After being shot at with the smallest of arrows, chained up, made a spectacle of – and sorted out a problem of etiquette most diplomatically – he tries again, only to be stranded on a second island, completely in contrast to the first… Whether or not you recognise the story from this summary, be relieved that this most perfectly conveys big ideas (and those of one big book in particular) for small people…
