|title=The Movie Making Book
|rating=4
|genre=Children's Non-Fiction
|summary=In my youth we had to make do with a camcorder that would fit a mini-tape that you recorded onto. This mini-tape would then slip into a casing that could be watched on your VHS (imagine something like a DVD player, but with awful fidelity). In all, making a film was a big old faff, but trying to do anything fancy was almost impossible. There is no longer this excuse for kids today with their camera enabled smart devices, but just because they can do something does not mean they will be any good. A guide for movie making would certainly help!

|summary=Trains look imposing, but true fans (little boys, usually from about three years old and upwards) want to know what lies beneath the skin which you can see. They want to know how it works. Getting to grips with one in real life is quite a big ask, but the next best thing is ''Stephen Biesty's Trains'' which features trains from all over the world and spanning the early steam train (complete with cow catcher) right through to the trains of the future which can reach a speed of 430 kph and don't even run on rails. Once the train reaches a speed of 150 kph the wheels are raised and the train is held up by magnetic forces alone.
