|summary=Edie is a gorgeous little girl and with the sort of nature which we all hope that our children will have in abundance. She's just so ''helpful''. For instance, she's gets up extra early herself just so that she can make certain that everybody else in the house gets up in good time. The cymbals work well on her brother, but if not, dragging him out of bed usually achieves the desired result. As for her parents, playing her guitar and serenading them usually does the trick. She's an independent young lady and likes to dress herself. It's not ''exactly'' school uniform and her mother might well be wondering where some of her clothes have got to - but what's a girl to do?

|title=Mostly Mary (Mary Plain 1)
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Meet Mary Plain. She's a bear, living in a pit in the Swiss city of Berne, and bears have been there as a tradition for centuries. She's not been there long, for she's just an exuberant, slightly stroppy and definitely naïve, little cub, trying to catch up to her two slightly-older cousins, loving life with her aunt and uncle, and the generations above them. She's got a lot to learn about life, however – from how snow and ice change her world to what sitting on sticky paint can mean. Oh the innocence of little tykes – such as these books were written for.
