|title=The Buccaneering Book of Pirates (Pop Up Books)
|author=Saviour Pirotta
|rating=3
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=I've said before now that it strikes me as odd that pirates have hung around so long. You can't blame it all on Johnny Depp either, yet people are still willing to revisit stories of old, pieces of eight, legs of wood and spots of black. Saviour Pirotta offers a four page truncation of [[Silver: Return to Treasure Island by Andrew Motion:Treasure Island]] in his book here, along with five other short tales from the genre. The others are more original, just as is the bonus element you get when you buy this title…

|title=The Letter for the King
|summary=''Where’s The Penguin?'' is a find-the-character book with a difference. The penguin family are fed up with living in the zoo so have plotted their escape and are now en route back to Antarctica. There are ten members of the gang, but they’re not entirely identical. Muffy has a wool hat, Brian has specs, Snowflake has a bow that wouldn’t be out of place on a Cheer floor, and Amelia is channeling her namesake, the Earhart, and has on flight goggles. It’s a good thing they have their own style, because in this book you’re not searching for one person, you’re searching for 10 across each double page spread.

|title=Granddad Bracey and the Flight to Seven Seas
|rating=3
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Sally and her brother Peter are staying at their grandfather's house because their father has died in a car accident. Granddad Bracey (named after the accessories for trousers) is the perfect person for the grieving children at such an awful time. He's kindly and loving but also funny and entertaining - as a retired merchant navy captain, he has plenty of stories to tell. But then a second catastrophe occurs: their mother, Mary, decides to remarry. Sally distrusts her new stepfather, Ned, and his daughter, Mona, immediately. But even Sally doesn't realise the extent of their villainous intentions. Until, that is, Mary is rushed into hospital with a mysterious illness.
