|title=The Golden Goose
|rating=4
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=The eldest of the three brothers set off to cut wood and on the way he met an old man who asked if he had any food. The brother refused as he would need what he had for his lunch. He gave the same answer when he was asked for water – but as he cut wood he injured his finger and had to return home, wondering all the time if the old man had anything to do with his injury. The next day the second brother went to cut wood – and much the same thing happened, only this time it was his toe that was injured. There was but one brother left and the two older brothers thought that he was too weak to cut wood. But when the brother met the old man he was happy to share what food and water he had and – well you don't really need to tell me what happened next, do you?

|title=Barney the Boat Dog: Very Brave Dog
|rating=5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Not too long ago Jim, Annie and Barney lived in a house by the canal but after Annie died Jim didn't enjoy living in their house anymore, so he and Barney went to live on Jim's narrowboat. They moved around the canals as they wanted and really had quite a good time. There were one or two things which worried Barney but by far the worst was the very scary tunnel. It was long and dark and water dripped from the roof – and when Barney barked another dog barked back at him. But one day everything went wrong and Barney found himself in the tunnel all on his own.

|title=The Story of Easter
|rating=4.5

|summary=This lovely board book of the Easter story gently tells us about Jesus as he rides into Jerusalem on a donkey, shares a meal with his disciples and is betrayed by one of them before facing Pilate and the crowds who condemn him to crucifixion. The story ends with the resurrection and the thought that this is why we celebrate Easter each year.

|title=Cat on the Mat and Friends
|rating=4
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=The first story in this book of four, 'Cat on the Mat', is a very simple tale in which each sentence is 'the (animal's name) sat on the mat', the first animal being the cat, with accompanying pictures showing the mat getting more and more crowded. Finally the cat hisses and spits and so we return to just the cat sitting alone on the mat!

|title=Where Are My Lambs?
|rating=4
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=When you're just coming to terms with this thing called ''reading'' there's a big jump to be made. Gone are those nice big picture books with not too many words and in their place is something much smaller (and not nearly so easy to handle – you have to do it yourself) with a lot more words and probably just a few black and white pictures to break the page up and if you're lucky to give you a clue as to what those pesky words mean. There's a stepping stone along the way now and it might just help children who find that big leap a little daunting.
