|title=Chick

|rating=5

|summary=A pop-up from Ed Vere with his trademark robust colours and endearing characters will be a firm favourite with children and adults. There's humour too in what Chick does (seemingly endlessly!) after he's eaten - and I'll bet that there won't be a child that doesn't love that page! Highly recommended.

|title=The Baby Dragon-Tamer

|rating=4.5

|summary=A dragon storms into a baby's bedroom, snorting silver sparks and farting purple smoke. He roars and demands the baby hand over all his treasure. The baby, being just a baby, simply giggles. Jan Fearnley's wonderful picture book sees the dragon try all he can to get the baby to give up his riches.

|title=Have You Seen My Potty?

|rating=4.5

|summary=A light-hearted look at toilet training as an increasingly desperate Suzy Sue searches for her potty. Highly recommended.

|title=Shake Rattle and Hurl (Rotten School)

|rating=3

|summary=''Shake Rattle & Hurl'' is unadulterated rubbish. Quite without a shred of value, it will be loved by all pre-teen boys. Full of farts, spots, vomit and snot, just about every possible variation on toilet humour is contained within. You'll hate it and they'll love it. Just give in and buy it.

|title=Why is Snot Green?

|rating=4.5

|summary=A perfectly pitched, informative, interesting and amusing science book book for children at Key Stage 2 and slightly beyond. The vocabulary is challenging but the clear sentence structure and bite-size presentation make it easy to read. Great stuff.

|title=Serious Survival: How to Poo in the Arctic and Other Essential Tips for Explorers

|rating=4

|summary=A comprehensive, interesting and fun companion book to the children's TV show that shows 12-14 year olds on extreme Outward Bound-style expeditions. It's particularly apropos for sporty children and also for those who don't like reading fiction.

|author=Roald Dahl

|title=George's Marvellous Medicine

|rating=5

|summary=A classic Roald Dahl story in which an unpleasant adult gets their deserved comeuppance, George's Marvellous Medicine is a Bookbag favourite. Short enough for sharing and accessible enough for newly confident readers, it's absolutely perfect in every way.

|author=Ali Sparkes

|title=Monster Makers: Stinkermite

|rating=4.5

|summary=The two boys who can create real-life monsters from their own drawings jokingly create a fart-chaser to snatch a horrid cousin. The joke soon loses all humour - except for us, happily reading this inventive little adventure.

|author=Ian Ogilvy

|title=Measle and the Slitherghoul

|rating=4

|summary=The son of a major magician has a fourth published adventure, against the giant living bogey that a young warlock made by mistake eight hundred years ago. Entertaining enough for its target audience...

|title=The Day My Bum Went Psycho

|rating=4

|summary=''The Day My Bum Went Psycho'' is a riotous romp through every possible fart joke there is and as such, is irresistible to children everywhere. Scatalogical humour will never lose its appeal, especially to children under twelve. It's very funny, but it really is a one-trick pony. This doesn't matter to the children, but it does matter to the poor parents who are reading the book aloud. A star docked for that.
