|title=One Hundred Words: A first handwriting book

|rating=4

|genre=Children's Non-Fiction

|summary=Little Mouse is learning to write. Actually, you don't just learn to write, you have to learn to hold and use a pencil and to control it so that the point goes where you want it to. Pencils - and particularly crayons - have a mind of their own, you know! So, we start of with the tripod grip and some tips about what to do if you find that difficult. Then we're straight into the action, starting with drawing a straight line from side to side and to see what's required we have a footballer kicking a ball in the direction we're going to go. There are fifteen examples where you trace the line, just so you get the hang of it and then you get to have a go on your own.

|summary=If you still think of Stampy as the elephant in ''The Simpsons'', you need to get with it. For one thing, TV is so last century – now it's all about Minecraft and other computer game worlds, and often second-screening between different new media at the same time. So why does this book from a Youtube star of Minecraft tasks, pranks and other activities, remind me of a certain TV programme that used to invite us to turn off and do something more active instead?

~~|title=The 50 States: Explore the U.S.A. with 50 fact-filled maps!~~

~~|rating=2.5~~

~~|genre=Children's Non-Fiction~~

|summary= I've often shouted at people on UK quiz programmes for their ignorance of geography about their nation. People just don't seem to have learnt about or been to other areas of the place they call home. But while they get little sympathy from me when they lose the programme's cash prize, I can imagine that it would be much harder for them if they actually lived in a large country, such as the USA. 50 whole states of different size, all with a rich history of their own, their own famous places and their own noted people – the facts involved in absorbing all that's relevant would take a lot of research – or, paradoxically, this handy child-friendly book.
