|title=Bobcat and Other Stories
|rating=3.5
|genre=Short Stories
|summary=The first story in ''Bobcat'' is the title story, and this alone is worth the price of admission. Plaster it with prizes, put it in anthologies; it deserves every accolade it can get. However, the last story echoes the first, and the five tales in between are strangely repetitive, most with Midwestern North American narrators and 1980s university settings. Moreover, all seven are in the first-person; I would have appreciated more variety of perspective.

When Alfie and his father are out fishing one day, they hear a child's cries. On one of the archipelago's uninhabited islands, they find a half-starved little girl, abandoned and in a terrible state. She can only speak one word: Lucy. Who is this foundling? Is she a ghost? A mermaid? Or, more worryingly, could she be a German spy? The name Wilhelm is on the label of her blanket, after all. And why does she gaze at the moon with such longing in her eyes?

|title=Guess How Much I Love You
|rating=5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=I’m not an overly sentimental person on the whole, I tend to lean towards fanciful tales and humorous romps rather than mushy, squishy books. 'Guess How Much I Love You' has been very much an exception to that for a long time, and I only have to turn the first page to quickly become a sentimental wreck. This 20th anniversary edition is a wonderful addition to the collection, with a very touching little introduction from both the author, Sam McBratney, and illustrator, Anita Jeram.
