|title=Where's Tim's Ted? It's Time for Bed!
|author=Ian Whybrow and Russell Ayto
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Tim is visiting Grandad and Granny Red on the farm. It’s bed time, but Tim can’t find Ted. He makes them look for him, but they don’t really bother. Just a perfunctory peek behind the sofa and, when that doesn’t unearth the teddy, Tim is packed off to bed with the promise that they’ll look again in the morning. But it’s hard to sleep without your toy, isn’t it? So, deep in the middle of the night, Tim creeps out of bed to go searching once more. He’s not alone, though. Grandad and Granny Red might be fast asleep but others on the farm are awake, and like the Pied Piper, Tim soon finds himself with quite a following.

|summary=Back when I was a lad, and reading books on mythology from my school library, they were nothing like this. There was no full-colour, no recaps, no homework suggestions, and certainly there was not the global PC-flavoured reach that broadened things out from Greek, Roman and the occasional bit of Norse myth. You'll excuse me if I say why in this instance all those changes aren't completely for the better.

|title=Put Your Mindset to Work: The One Asset You Really Need to Win and Keep the Job You Love
|rating=4
|genre=Business and Finance
|summary=It's well over a decade since I was involved in hiring staff for an employer but over the last seven years I've been active in bringing reviewers to Bookbag. Certain reactions stand out from both experiences. The first is that skills rarely matter: if they're important for the job I can usually teach or polish them. In fact ''well, this is how we did it at...'' can be a disadvantage not least because the temptation to throttle someone can become quite overwhelming on a bad day. Paper qualifications are not really that important either: for the most part the bare minimum will suffice and I've often found that the more highly-qualified applicants can find it quite difficult to adapt themselves to the job I'm offering. At the other end of the scale I've taken people on and after a while thought that if I had half a dozen people of this calibre I could send the rest home. What marks these people out is their attitude. Nowadays it's called mindset.
