Sweet Dreams, Maisy

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Activity Books

I bought this book for my 16 month old grandchild, on the strength of the reviews given so far. It was a big hit from the first reading and soon became a favourite. She too loves to get to the bit when she can light up the moon and stars. Seeing her response has given me as much pleasure as she gets from reading it!

Dad Stuff: Shedloads of Ideas for Dads

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Activity Books
by: Steve Caplin, Simon Rose

Buying this book doesn't imply you are inadequate!

Totally unlike a TV show which aims to change parenting by whipping stupid, dull or uncaring parents into shape, this book is perfect for smart, funny and friendly adults who want MORE (both NEW and TRADITIONAL) games, facts, jokes, activities and ideas that appeal to kids and the kid in all of us. Also, it's useful to have a compendium of dad stuff in one place.

I'm interested in how this compares to other books, e.g. to the Dangerous Book for Boys, which sounds a little similar, but which maybe appeals to nostalgia in adults themselves, hence its title. Title wise, Dad Stuff is the winner. If you have a dad yourself or are buying a book for one with a child, it is a very ... Read More:

Totally Tape (Klutz Chicken Socks)

I love this book used by both my 4 and 8 year old. They can be left alone to complete the pictures using the sticky tape which peels of easily if they make a mistake and can be re applied. No crayons included so make sure you have some handy for finishing the pictures. Safe as requires no scissors the tape rips easily and no mess from glue. Great activity to keep them quiet on long journeys.

The Wonderful World Book

Great book - I heartily endorse the other reviews. But....as my daughter loved it so much I bought other pop-up books by Kate Petty including The Amazing Pop-Up Geography Book which turned out to be the same book under a different name. Do not be taken in.

Haunted House

October 03, 2005
I too have owned this book for nearly thirty years - my first and still favourite, pop-up book ...EVER! With SO many hidden treasures - its the one book that all my young visitors enjoy to look through, again and again. I flinch as they clumsily tug on the pull bits or turn the pages with just a little too much enthusiam, hoping they won't spoil it, but it has stood the test of time, both in enjoyment and wearability - quality all round!!
