Found the book really useful as a simple introduction into signing for babies and young children. However don't buy from here go to the makaton website as the book is much much MUCH cheaper.

I bought this at the airport whe our plane was late, and my little girl - nearly 2 - loved it. She asked for the stories again and again all week. Yes, they are for a younger age group than the "real" C and L books and are short board book stories but have enough character and charm to be enjoyed, probably most by children under 2 and a half. Tiny and handy to fit in the luggage too!

This book is one if the best books I have ever read! It is well written, sensitive, insightful, emotional and very moving.
It is the story of a 16 year old girl called Tessa who is terminally ill with leukemia; she is not ready to die and wants so much more from life. She makes a list of things that she would like to achieve before she dies, and what follows is a story of her trying to live life to it's fullest, trying her hardest before she gets too weak. It makes for such a heartwarming read as you are willing her on, wishing her to feel all the things that she should feel in her life. This could have easily become a depressing book but it is not at all, it is uplifting, positive and life affirming.

I bought this for my 8 year old daughter on the basis of the reviews on Amazon. I was not disappointed! It really is easy to do (even if you're not that creative yourself!). Use the stencils to create catwalk sensations - I bought it a week ago and have already sent for the refill pack as we have run out of hangers to display our creations. Loads of fantastic paper, sequins, beads, ribbon and glue (but only 20 hangers). My daughter absolutely loves it and can do it herself without any help - will definitely be buying more for presents for friends etc. Without a doubt this is fantastic value for money and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys craft activities (adults and children). You will not be disappointed!

A slightly different rhythm from Julia Donaldson's usual rhyming books, but this one is a gorgeous treat to read aloud for that reason. I've begged my husband to stop doing Tiddler with a cockney accent, he enjoys himself far too much and is terrible at it. I happen to deliver the definitive version, and it's the book we both hope our daughter will ask for at bedtime. Fun, funny, and a bit subversive in that the liar isn't punished!

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

This book is apsolututely brilliant! I couldn't put it down! Set in WW2, it is an exciting, but very sad story, of 2 brothers. A definite read for everyone! Morpurgo's best!!!

Absolutely beautiful! A gorgeous hardbacked book with box. All the illustrations are exactly how you would remember them. Stories are perfectly laid out. There are even a few extras.
Truely wonderful, I will be buying more for friends children in the very near future

My sister recommended Purple Hibiscus to me sometime last year. However, I was reluctant to read the book because I was not sure that it could live up to Half a Yellow Sun, Adichie's other book. In hindsight, I was right.
The novel is narrated by Kambili Achike, the fifteen-year old daughter of a wealthy Nigerian businessman. The book begins with a description of her family life: Her wealthy father, Eugene Achike, whom she called Papa, had made good in life. He had numerous factories and a newspaper, which took an uncompromising stand on the corruption of the ruling elite. To cap it all, he was a philanthropist par excellence, supporting many causes.
Beneath the respectable veneer, however, all is not well. Her father, supporter ... Read More:
