|author=Leonie Lagarde
|summary=Told in rhyme, this is the tale of the very last dragon on earth. He hides away, deep underground, remembering the times when the dragons ruled the earth until one day a voice from the heavens calls him, summons him, up and away, to fly far, far into the sky and leave this world behind. I rather like the idea of dragons. They're one of those mythical creatures that I still sort of hope might actually be real! My daughter likes dragons too, although when she saw the title of this book she was prepared for a sad story, sensing that we weren't heading towards a happy ending.

|rating=4
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Rosebud is a good girl, for the most part, neat and tidy and a happy little girl, at which times her daddy calls her ''Good Princess Rosebud''. But then sometimes things go a little bit wrong, or they aren't quite as Rosebud likes them, so perhaps there's a hole in her tights or snow in her boots or, heavens above, her peas are touching her carrots on the plate at dinner time! When this happens Rosebud becomes ''Princess Fussy'' and my, doesn't everyone know about it!

|title=The Silly Satsuma
|rating=4
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Once there was a boy called Eric Greenbogle. I'd like to be able to tell you that he was a good boy, but that would be wrong. Eric was a bad boy and we all know what happens to bad boys on Christmas morning, don't we? Good boys (and girls) find lots of presents under the tree, but Father Christmas knows who has been good and who has been bad and Eric was about to be taught a lesson. There was just one present under the tree for Eric: a satsuma. Oh, there was something else - there was a note from Father Christmas explaining why there were no presents. Eric was furious. Eric cried, but then...

|title=Ant and Bee
|rating=4
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=When you learn to read it has to be fun. You have to master the skill but it mustn't be ''too'' daunting or you're ''not'' going to enjoy it and - worst of all - you might be put off reading for life. It's best if you can share the reading until you get to grips with decoding what's on the page, so if an adult could read most of the words but you read others to which you've already been introduced and which are in a different colour then that is going to be a help. If the words are introduced with a nice big picture and if they appear in alphabetical order, then that's going to be fun, isn't it?

|title=Fluff the Farting Fish
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Elvie wanted a puppy but she was still rather surprised when her mother agreed. Unfortunately what her mother brought home wasn’t a puppy but a goldfish. Now it wasn’t just a pet to cuddle and play with that Elvie had been after - she’d wanted to train the dog. Being a resourceful young lady she decided to train the goldfish instead. ''Sit'' was always going to be rather more than a challenge, but Elvie discovered that much could be achieved with Fluff’s bubbles. Go on - you know exactly what I mean! Soon Fluff was doing mental arithmetic and finally singing. Before long he was in demand at pop concerts and for television appearances.

|title=No-Bot, The Robot With No Bottom
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=The prospects look good for a story when you're already laughing at the front cover, never mind what's inside. There we have him, our little red robot, holding onto his bottom and giving a coy-looking smile to us as readers. Already we're wondering how he ends up with no bottom, and whether the inside of the story will be as funny as the outside. No-Bot, happily, doesn't disappoint. You can't go wrong, really, with a funny red robot who has lost his bottom can you? Just saying the word 'bottom' to small children usually reduces them to giggles!

|title=Flying to Neverland with Peter Pan
|rating=3
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=There's something perennially magical about the story of Peter Pan. It's timeless, this story of a little boy who doesn't want to grow up, and who lives in a land full of pirates and fairies and mermaids and crocodiles. It's one of those stories that stays with you, which is why it's a classic, I suppose! In this version part of the story is told through the lyrics of two songs from the musical ''Peter Pan''. The songs ''I'm Flying'' and ''Never Never Land'' are combined together to tell the story as far as the children flying to Neverland.
