|title=Hats Off!
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary='Hats Off!' is a wonderfully entertaining book that is written entirely in rhyme. It starts by asking if the reader has ever thought about how many hats they might have been bought and whether a hat actually looks good on their head or not. The author, Neil Griffiths, then goes on to suggest that there are:
 
''Hats too big, too tight''<br>
''and too small,''<br>
''Hats that just shouldn't''<br>
''be worn at all!''

|title=Uugghh!
|rating=3.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=I like it when I find a completely different style in this genre of book as it reminds me that picture books are not just for the under fives, they can reach a much wider audience as well as giving out strong and important messages. This book is an interesting one; it is obviously giving a very clear message about self perception and image, which implies that everybody is special to somebody and you can always find beauty in the world, even if not everybody find beauty in you.

|title=Don't Put Your Pants on Your Head, Fred
|rating=5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=This is a gem of a book. Fred just can't get to grips with his underwear; pants and vests alike, it's taking him most of the day to get dressed and it's going to take much more than his sister's endless advice to help. Caryl Hart and Leigh Hodgkinson have made a great job of turning what is just a nice premise into a brilliant book. Though some might suggest that pants have been overdone in the world of picture books, I think I could find a few thousand five year olds who would disagree.

|summary=If you want to know how the turkey got its spots, or what advice was given by a lion, or even why the tortoise has no hair, then this is the book for you. It holds a collection of thirty six enchanting stories that will answer these questions and many many more. There are well known fables from Ancient Greece such as The Fox and The Crow and The Boastful Toad, and many other traditional tales from countries such as Japan, Indonesia, Peurto Rico, Syria and India to mention just a few. As you would expect, with tales from so many different parts of the world, there is great variety within this collection which also enables children to read about many different cultures, beliefs and ways of life.

|title=Dr Xargle's Book Of Earth Tiggers
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=We have met Dr Xargle before, telling his class all about 'earthlets' and 'earth hounds', so now we see him again bumbling through his lesson with highly amusing misinformation about Earth Tiggers, or cats as we like to call them. As with many books by these authors, ''Dr Xargle's Book of Earth Tiggers'' is very witty indeed. The illustrations are funny as ever and work together with the words incredibly well, as without the correct pictures, this style of books can fly over the heads of little readers.
