1.There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly (Classic Board Books with Holes) by: Pam Adams 2000-09
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £3.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £2.39 You Save: £1.60 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.32
My toddler realy enjoys singing along, but I'm not sure he gets the significance of 'perhaps she'll die' - it's great fun, but it is irritating that each page shows both the new animal being introduced and the next one along - so that when I'm singing about the dog, the lad is shouting 'cow, daddy, look, cow'. But excellent for all that.

2.Just So Stories (Selected) (BBC Audio) by: Rudyard Kipling February 04, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £2.99 You Save: £3.00 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.68
I'd always enjoyed being read and later reading myself the Just So Stories. With children of my own I started them on these stories and having a cd of them means we can enjoy them on the move. The joy of hearing Jonnie Morris' super animal voice characterisations just adds to the enjoyment - takes me back to watching Animal Magic - deep joy! Four year old daughter enjoys listening to the stories but my nine year old son has become a great fan - this now regularly is on his cd player in his room. Buy this and you'll all be able to listen together and enjoy.

3.The Wheels on the Bus: Go Round and Round (Classic Board Books with Holes) from: Child's Play (International) Ltd 2001-09

My son is only 5 months, but he loves looking at this book even if he doesn't understand the "story" yet - there are lots of bright colours and things to see in the pictures. I can see him enjoying it more and more as he gets older as we discuss the content of the pictures (people, animals, clowns, magicians...) My only problem is to stop my son from eating the book! The CD is a great bonus.

4.Tom's Midnight Garden by: Philippa Pearce 2008-01
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.99 You Save: £2.00 (33%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.89
This is a classic story for children, set in the 50's, it is about time, memory and friendship. Tom, lonely and isolated as he is in quarantine, finds his way back in time, at night (when the hall clock strikes 13), to a wonderful old garden and a little girl called Hattie, who, to his curiosity, is dressed in old fashioned clothes. The two lonely children become friends and I don't want to give away the beautifully devoloped plot, but Tom slowly realises that Hattie is growing up, while he remains the same age. The atmosphere of the story is both mysterious and engaging, as Tom slowly works out where he is and who Hattie really is. The end of the story takes in the biblical idea of time coming to and end, or the modern notion ... Read More:

6.Beatrix Potter - the Complete Tales: The 23 Original Tales by: Beatrix Potter October 05, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £29.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £19.49 You Save: £10.50 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £17.68
This is a single boxed book which is truly beautifully presented. The original pictures and stories in all their splendour are laid out with loving care. If like me, you do not have room for the 23 little books in a boxed set, this is simply a wonderful alternative. It would be a fantastic present or a perfect book that will make a great impact on your bookshelves. I maybe 50 and have never read a Beatrix Potter story before, but this has certainly caught my attention and made my day!

7.Winnie the Pooh: Complete Collection of Stories and Poems by: A.A. Milne July 01, 2001

Very special book, very special bear :) Great rendition, though I must admit, I prefer having the individual books! (Maybe one day I shall have...) Beautifully done tho :)

8.Frankenstein: or, the Modern Prometheus: Or, the Modern Prometheus (Penguin Popular Classics) by: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley February 24, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £2.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £1.80 You Save: £0.20 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
Anyone who thought that Frankenstein was the tall, slow, bolt-headed monster from the films will be very surprised by this gothic/horror story. But, hopefully, like me, you will be pleasantly surprised. The story is about a young scientist named Frankenstein who becomes interested in creating life. He attempts to make a man out of acquired body parts. The result is a large, disfigured man. This "monster" is actually a sensitive and real human being. It is only after rejection by his creator that he starts to become more of a monster figure. 'Am I to be thought the only criminal, when all human kind sinned against me? I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned, and kicked, and trampled on.' This is the thought process that ... Read More:

9.King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (Junior Classics) by: Benedict Flynn July 01, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.91 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.09 You Save: £5.82 (45%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.40
My 7 year old son loves audio books and we have lots! He likes King Arthur tales but they can often be quite difficult to read and understand. However this is read brilliantly and we have both been gripped. Admittedly I have quite often had to pause it and explain parts but it is read in chapters which gives you convenient places to recap. We have listened travelling to and from school and for 3 nights we sat in the car on the drive listening to see what happens. This is a great next step if they are getting a little to old for 'Stories for 5/6/7 year olds" audio books. It really is great. Buy it!

10.The Enchanted Wood (Faraway Tree) by: Enid Blyton May 03, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.89 You Save: £2.10 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.95
See what happens when three children, Jo, and his two sisters, Bessie and Fannie, discover their very own Enchanted Wood, and meet new friends Silky the Fairy, Moon-Face and the Saucepan Man who all live in the magical Faraway Tree. Their real adventures begin when they all climb up and discover the most thrilling and peculiar! Lands that exist beyond the clouds at the top of the tree which some are good and some rather confusing and some plain dreadful. I like most of the Lands and characters like the angry pixie, Mr Watizname and Dame Washalot. The characters are funny and some of the lands are very exciting like the land of snow and ice where there are evil snowman and even Santa Claus.
