How to Catch a Star

by: Oliver Jeffers

There's something very soothing and calming about this book, which makes it perfect for bedtime. The story is simple, the illustrations are beautiful, and we all feel good when we read it. My two-year-old son absolutely loves it, and I do too.

Beatrix Potter - the Complete Tales: The 23 Original Tales

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Childrens Books
by: Beatrix Potter

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!

Monkey Puzzle

I bought this for my son after we got the Gruffalo and this book didn't dissapoint. I remember the first time I read it to him and he laughed out loud all the way through and I ended up having to read it about 5 times in a row and by the end I was exhausted at laughing at my son laughing. I now have to read it every night at bedtime. Its a great book to read aloud and and will be sure to become one of your kids favourite books. A great buy.

Guess How Much I Love You

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Childrens Books
by: Sam McBratney

July 01, 1996
With beautiful pictures and lyrical text this is a book you can start reading to your little one from a very early age. Even though my little boy doesn't understand he loves the pictures of big and little nutbrown hare and he knows its about love because of the tone in my voice and the big hugs!

Also it's great for dads: normally depictions of love in children's books seem to be a Mum and a baby; Big Nutbrown Hare is the father!

Because it's a bit more "wordy" than most baby books I think it's good for youngsters to learn that the weird squiggly black things (letters!) have something to do with the story too.

Can You Keep a Secret?

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Childrens Books
by: Sophie Kinsella

March 17, 2003
I've read all Sophie's shopaholic books, and I'm happy to report this is just as good. As usual with her books, it has it's share of laugh out loud moments, and my only complaint about it, is that it's too short, I didn't want it to end. This is chick lit romantic comedy at it's best.

Night Monkey, Day Monkey

A wonderful read aloud for 1 and 2 year olds. Lovely illustrations and nice story but just doesn't quite have the pazzazz of the gruffalo and her other books (we own the lot). Too basic for my four year old but my one year old really enjoys it.
