|title=Jolly Snowmen
|author=Ned Taylor
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Snowmen are universally adored. Everyone I know who picked up this book, young and old, went ''Oooh, snowmen!'' There’s something so cheerful about this precious, somewhat rare creature, and the likes of Frozen have cemented this in the minds of the latest generation. A book about two balls of icy snow doesn't sound much, but add a scarf, coal eyes and a carrot nose, and the transformation is astonishing.

|title=Tin
|summary=Poor cat! All day long he works for the mean baker and his equally unpleasant wife in the bakery, mixing, baking, chopping, slicing and sweeping while the baker grumbles. Then at night the exhausted cat, without any supper, is expected to catch the mice that run riot in the storeroom. Unfortunately he is not a particularly successful mouse catcher. Eventually the poor cat, denied even a name by his miserable owners, becomes thin, sad and weepy and slumps in despair. It is then that the mice take pity on him and concoct a clever plan to help him.

|title=Printer's Devil Court
|author=Susan Hill
|rating=5
|genre=Horror
|summary=Susan Hill is by far the master of the old fashioned ghost story. If you've ever read or seen [[The Woman in Black by Susan Hill|The Woman in Black]], then you’ll already know that, but her other ghost stories are a little less famous. That doesn’t make them any less good, and I for one am a big fan. I think there’s a lot to be said for a good old fashioned scare, with apparitions, goosebumps and cold chills up the spine. I always feel like I should be reading these books around a campfire, wrapped in a blanket and eating marshmallows because it very much reminds me of sharing ghost stories with my friends when I was a child. What I like to call a ‘proper scare’.
