|title=Precious and the Mystery of the Missing Lion : A New Case for Precious Ramotswe
|author=Alexander McCall Smith
|rating=5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=I had already previously enjoyed [[Precious and the Monkeys by Alexander McCall Smith|Precious and the Monkeys]] which is one of AMS' children's stories about his No.1 Ladies Detective Agency character, Precious Ramotswe, when she is a child. So I was looking forward to this one about a missing lion. I wasn't disappointed. Once again his gentle charm shines through, and this is a delightful book to read aloud or just enjoy by yourself, however old you may be!

|title=The Complete Short Stories: Volume One
|author=Roald Dahl
|rating=4.5
|genre=Short Stories
|summary=Roald Dahl’s name on a book has for me always meant I was in for a fun and imaginative read. His children’s books are the pinnacle of children’s literature and combine fantastic ideas with wordplay and some of the most amusing characters and situations. The stories for a younger audience always managed to thrill and entertain both adult and child and reading them aloud is a joy. In short I believe Roald Dahl was a true master of storytelling. I have however only actually read one of his adult books before reading this collection of short stories.
