|title=Wake Up Do, Lydia Lou!
|author=Julia Donaldson and Karen George
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Julia Donaldson is probably best known for her collaborations with [[:Category:Axel Scheffler|Axel Scheffler]] on creations such as [[The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson|The Gruffalo]] and [[Stick Man by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler|Stick Man]]. In this book she has teamed up with illustrator, [[:Category:Karen George|Karen George]], in order to present a charming yet sleepy character, Lydia Lou. Throughout this delightful picture book, we see Lydia Lou, with her sweep of curly brown locks, sleeping soundly and contentedly in her bed with her teddy. She is sleeping so soundly that it appears that nothing will wake her; not even the sly ghost that creeps into her room with the sole intention of making her scream.

|title=The Bunny That Couldn't Be Found
|summary=I didn't think they made books like this any more. It's very rare to see a book with transparent pages nowadays. I have literally searched for years, snapping up the odd one from used book sellers. These may have gone out of style now in favour of books with batteries, buttons and bells, but these engage a child in a way no battery operated contraption possibly could. Children are fascinated by the pages, not just my own children, but every child I have seen with these. This book is wonderful for story time, but it is also the type of book that children seek out, quietly turning the pages, lost in their own imagination. Experts are beginning to recognise playing with books as a crucial step in emergent literacy. This is a book children will turn to again and again, experiencing a different adventure each time they lose themselves in the pages, and learning that books offer excitement and adventure.
