|title=Fame! (Dirty Bertie)

|rating=4

|genre=Confident Readers

|summary=Book eleventy-thump in this series, and there is still no let-up in the situations that Dirty Bertie can be clumsy in, have a naughty approach about, or be accident-prone throughout. And while these three short stories may not be everyday circumstances, they have a universal recognition for the very young target audience – probably the seven-to-tens. So we have Bertie successfully apply for a part in a TV presentation – only to find it crosses a line; we see him get taken fishing, only for him to be bored and therefore naughty (and therefore successful, of course); and we have him and his friends trying to play as Robin Hood, only to find the sharing-out bit that normally follows the robbing just that bit too hard…

|summary=I've never been a fan of cats. I'm more of a dog person. Mog, however, has weaseled her way into my heart, and although I certainly wouldn't want her as a pet in my house, we love reading her stories. This collection of ''Mog and the Baby'', ''Mog's Bad Thing'', and ''Mog on Fox Night'' is perfect for a nice afternoon bumper storytime together with your little one, or you can just read them one by one over three nights.

~~|rating=4.5~~

~~|genre=Confident Readers~~

|summary=Spring, of all things, is a dead end. The class, given the homework task of finding signs of spring, are just failing and failing, what with the bad weather. And nobody can come up with any useful ideas for the class theme at the school's Family Fun Day, as being clowns has been nicked by someone else. How can a humble classroom pet hamster help everyone and everything – especially when he has been gazumped himself? For the very child tasked with looking after Humphrey for the weekend has been sent a package containing what is alleged to be a sign of spring – although to our hero the two tiny tadpoles in a tank look like two specks in gunk…
