I initially picked up a second hand copy of How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers from a nearly new sale and it’s one of those lovely books that are so suitable for bedtime stories. I hadn’t realised it…
I’ve been a long time in getting round to reviewing the February book buddy parcel from Parragon Books, as it’s a bit far removed from what we would usually be reading or using. The latest month was all about an…
I’ve been seeing Heroes of the City around a fair bit recently online, so when the offer to review a pack came up, I was interested to find out more. Heroes of the City was created in Sweden as a…
When I heard Plan Toys did wooden bath toys, I did a double take and looked again. We’ve been lucky enough to try their Water Landing Net set on behalf of The Toadstool. To say that N was excited to…

On being told the title of this book we were sent ‘The Boy who Ate Everything’, N immediately seemed interested. Why am I not surprised given he also likes eating?! So I knew it wouldn’t be long before he’d pick…
I’m not big on DIY. Thankfully the OH’s pretty handy around the house if required and it appears that N might take after him. Or at least he’s currently enjoying any opportunity to wield a hammer or screwdriver (our recent…
