1.Each Peach Pear Plum (Viking Kestrel Picture Books) by: Allan Ahlberg May 27, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.94 You Save: £1.05 (21%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.33
As all the other reviews say, this is an out and out classic children's book - a must have. This copy, however, is dreadful. The paper is thin and overly glossy, making it difficult to get to the next page and it could do with being bigger as it's really all about the pictures. I bought where the wild things are at the same time and that is amazingly presented, highlighting the problem with this further. This seems like a pamphlet or concert programme - cheap. Save money and get the board book. It's smaller but the pictures are sharper.

2.Rumble in the Jungle by: Giles Andreae, David Wojtowycz April 16, 1998

There are lots of positive reviews for this book and I know why. I like the illustrations as they are colourful and fun. The verse has an energy and snappiness about it that keeps things moving and the usual humour from Giles Andreae. One thing I don't like is that most of the animals mentioned couldn't live in one jungle. Lions, tigers and panthers are likely to be in Africa, Asia and South America respectively. Some of the rhymes are very lazy like the one about the elephant that doesn't say much other than it likes elephing around. If you can't think what to say... make up a word! This would be great if that was a common technique within the book (like doctor seuss uses). But this is the only incident and I think it's weak. There ... Read More:

3.The Commotion in the Ocean (Orchard Picturebooks) by: Giles Andreae May 13, 1999

I got this book for my 5 month old daughter and I love it and so does she. The pictures are big and colourful, and she loves me reading the poems to her in a sing song way. I prefer it to books with one or two sentences! We also enjoy looking for the starfish doing silly things! The reason I have given the book 4 stars is because I would would have liked it more had it had stiffer pages that would be able to handle pulling and pushing and being chewed on. The price is also a bit steep. That said, I will still be buying the rest of the series, as its beautifully written and illustrated.

This lovely collection of Pooh Bear is superbly presented and includes all things Pooh! Perfect for anyone who is a fan or wishes to read to someone who is just starting out as a pooh fan. excellent

5.The Lion Who Wanted to Love (Orchard Picturebooks) by: Giles Andreae, David Wojtowycz April 29, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.49 You Save: £1.50 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.40
This book is about a lion named Leo who didn't fit in with his pride, because he just wanted to look for love and make friends with other animals in the jungle. After he was forced to leave the pride of lions, Leo did his best to help every kind of animal in the jungle, but never asked for a thing. Eventually, he became the king of animals in a different way. The lovely colorful cover of this book will catch your eye in the bookshop. The illustrations are animated and charming as if you were in tropical Africa. From the illustrations page by page, Leo's enthusiasm and kindness are obviously an important part of the whole story. And the most brilliant drawing is the one in which Leo's friends arrive at the bank and link themselves up tail to paw ... Read More:

6.Revolting Rhymes (Picture Puffins) by: Roald Dahl November 29, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.94 You Save: £3.05 (38%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.50
Everyone knows the original stories of Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood and The Wolf and The Three Little Pigs, written by Charles Perrault (Cinderella), Brothers Grimm (all the rest); but Roald Dahl has changed the stories and put in some gruesome humour - these rewrites are not suitable for grumpy old grown ups so be aware! My favourite story out of all of Dahl's altered fairy tales is definitely Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf & the three little pigs because they are linked together with Little Red Riding Hood who gives the wolf and the pigs' horrible endings! I would rate this book 9/ 10 because it could have had another one or two other famous tales included ... Read More:

7.The Works: Every Kind of Poem You Will Ever Need for the Literacy Hour by: Paul Cookson August 11, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.99 You Save: £3.00 (43%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.88
This book does exactly what it says, providing all the poetry you will need for literacy and more. I use it for most of my poetry ideas as it lists all the genres and provides good variety. Only bought this a few weeks ago but already well loved and written on to remind me which poems to use for certain word and sentence level work as well as particular genres. I will be buying the other books in this series as i am keen to find out what else there is to offer in this poetry collection that is so well tuned to the needs of teaching.

8.The Puffin Book of Utterly Brilliant Poetry by: Brian Patten August 26, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.99 You Save: £4.00 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.36
I was searching for a decent poetry book, since the one that I read as a child called Junket and Jumbles. The Silly old Baboon poem was hilarious, and I am quite certain that the little boy for whom I bought this book will treasure it. One small comment. If you are buying this book as new then all the poems are there, however with the second hand options go for the one that has the title 'The Puffin Book of Utterly Brilliant Poetry' and not the one titled just 'Utterly Brilliant Poetry' as the latter is just A5 size and missing some great poems.

9.Fox in Socks (Dr Seuss Green Back Books) by: Dr. Seuss May 06, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.99 You Save: £1.00 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.06
Dr. Seuss, the famous author of `The Cat in the Hat' and `how the Grinch stole Christmas', has written this masterpiece (which is tricky to say)! Fox in Socks is a brilliant board for books and it is a book of crazy tongue twisters. It is a simple, sturdy book for babies of all ages (as it says on the back). Dr. Seuss is great if you want a laugh or you need some cheering up (although hit might frustrate you at times)! In this book, there is a fox, Knox, chicks, Sue and Slow Joe Crow. In addition, an unnamed chicken chews the blue gooey goo. I think this book is lovely but the events are very, very, very random. I would rate this book 7/ 10 and I would recommend it to all children and fun-loving adults.

My two year-old son loves animals and this book is an absolute winner. The illustrations are gorgeous and the rhymes about each animal are wonderful. He could recite them all within days - to hear him saying "I'm the rockin' rooster baby" is a scream! I think this will be a favourite for a long time to come.
