|author= Allie Esiri
|title= A Poem for Every Night of the Year
|rating= 4
|genre= Children's Rhymes and Verse
|summary=Poetry can feel a little intimidating, to children and grown-ups. All those school lessons of dissecting poems in order to ascertain exactly what the poet intended with every word and stylistic form tend to kill the beauty of a well-written poem. This collection is a year-long tour through a vast history of poetry, and gives the reader a new poem to try every night, with everything from Michael Rosen to Shakespeare to Christina Rosetti.

|summary=''The Book of Bees'' may look like a typical picture book, but it has a lot buzzing underneath the surface. It is adapted from the original Polish book ''Pszczoly.'' Packed to the brim with bee facts and figures and accompanied by the wonderful comic-style artwork of Piotr Socha, the book is an odd amalgam: part coffee table book/ nature encyclopaedia/factfile/picture book. Don't be fooled by its simple cover; ''The Bee Book'' is a treasure trove of information just waiting to 'bee' harvested!

|title= Associates of Sherlock Holmes
|rating= 4.5
|genre= Crime (Historical)
|summary=The world-famous consulting detective Sherlock Holmes needs no introduction; a redoubtable protagonist with an appeal that shows no sign of waning. ''Associates of Sherlock Holmes,'' however, moves the spotlight away from our hero and focuses on the exploits of some of the minor players who have featured in his adventures over the years. Here we get a chance to reacquaint ourselves with friends and foes alike, all keen to give their own, unique perspective of the indomitable investigator.
