Following the Gruffalo trail at Salcey Forest

Hold That Thought Milton! Book Buddy read
I love receiving picture books from Parragon books as they always seem to brighten your day when you open the envelope. The latest read for us was Hold That Thought Milton! By Linda Ravin Lodding. The name Milton reminds me…

Papercuts with The Steady Hand
I like to think of myself as crafty (arty-crafty, rather than crafty sly!), but there’s no way I could have the steadiness or the artistic ability to do paper cutting. It seems to have become a more popular craft nowadays,…

We were sent There’s a Dinosaur in my Bathtub to review by Britmums. If you’re a regular reader, you’ll know we love books, and this shoots right up near the top of the list for me. Even N was keen…
