|title=Clover Moon
|author=Jacqueline Wilson
|rating=4.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Clover Moon lives in Cripps Alley, a slum street in Victorian England. Her father works at the factory and the heavy work has taken a toll on his health. He likes to drink an ale or two after work, spending money the family can barely afford. Clover's mother died giving birth to her younger sister, Megs, a wispy, shy child. Father married again - to Mildred, a sharp-tongued woman who is free with a beating, particularly if the beating goes to Clover. Clover has another four half-siblings and it's Clover, rather than Mildred, who takes care of them.

|summary=I couldn't resist a book entitled ''A Day With Dogs'', not least because it's my idea of heaven, and I was intrigued by the subtitle ''What Do Dogs Do All Day?''

|title=Sing Along With Me: We Wish You a Merry Christmas
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=I'm not normally a great fan of Christmas-themed books: after the day they're a bit old hat - for the adults if not for the children, but just occasionally something comes along that's so well done that an exception can be made. As soon as I touched ''We Wish You a Merry Christmas'' I could feel the quality: it's a chunky board book with added extras. The fun starts on the cover: there's a slider (look for the red ring with the yellow arrows) which makes a penguin (I think!) and a fox appear and disappear from behind a Christmas tree. As the animals move you can see pictures of two more animals playing in the snow.
