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…
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…
