I-Spy books – the activity book relaunch

Hello Nature, hello grow, make, colour and draw book
I’ve always said I’m not that creative although as I’ve got older it’s brought a realisation that creativity isn’t always about art and drawing, as it always seems to mean when you’re a child. I’ve never been comfortable drawing doing…
Discovering spaces and planes with Shine-a-light books – giveaway
We’ve not done any book reviews for a while. We’re still both reading – I completed my 2015 52 book challenge back in October, and N’s still loving his books. Now phonics teaching has started, I’m expecting him to be…

Books update for March
Ok, so I’m a bit late with my books update for March, but I’m pleased to say that I’m back reading regularly, and even (vaguely) managed to find some time alongside it for some crochet too. I did think I’d…
Back to books – February update
It’s taken me a while to get round to publishing my February books round up. I only read 4 books after a busy January, but am still on track for my 52 book challenge this year. I’ve got a few…
Learn to fasten with Zip It by Patricia Hegarty
I was looking forward to receiving this Zip It hardback book from Little Tiger Press, written by Patricia Hegarty and illustrated by Fhiona Galloway. While it looks like a book for younger children, it’s aimed at 3-6 year olds, with…
The ideal book for a farmer’s son? Good little bad little pig
Our latest Book Buddy read from Parragon Books is Good little bad little Pig by Margaret Wise Brown, and illustrated by Loretta Schauer. I thought this book would appeal to N given the subject matter. The story is about a…
