Thomas the Tank Engine: The Complete Collection (Thomas the Tank/Classic Slipca)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Ages 0 to 2
by: W. Awdry

September 01, 2005
This book is a real treat for any Thomas fan in the little tank engine's 60th anniversary year. With a real cloth jacket in classic blue, silver gilding and embossing on the dust jacket. The captions inside are a nice touch too. Perfect for a christening or special birthday gift - I hope my godson will like it when a bit older!! This is limited edition too, so should prove highly collectible.

The True Story of the Three Little Pigs (Picture Puffin)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Ages 0 to 2
by: Jon Scieszka, Lane Smith

October 31, 1991
The True Story of the three little pigs was used greatly within my 1st year drama class at secondary school (Ages 11-12)and they loved it. I used the story as a context to do with stereotypes which lead on to many drama activities involving lawyers defending Mr Wolf, the pig community and witnesses of Mr Wolf. This lead on to a court case and even 't.v shows and documentaries' being created by the pupils to re-build or tarnish Mr Wolf's reputation!! An excellent story which created many meaningful, fun and diverse lessons!!

I lose track of age suitability for books for my grandcildren especially as they are in Australia, and other children I buy for, so the mention of ages in other reviews helped me with age suitability.

Rupert Annual 1963 Facsimile Edition

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Ages 0 to 2
from: Egmont Books Ltd

August 04, 2008
Another lovely reprint of a classic Bestall Rupert Annual. Last year's facsimile was the 1959 annual, why the huge gap? I was not expecting a reprint of the 1960 annual, but there is nothing to offend in the 1961 or 1962 books (one annual contains a story with a jolly Chinese pilot and the other a mysterious stranger wearing a fez!) Come on, Egmont, don't you think you are being a wee bit timid, bring out facsimiles of the 1961 and 1962 annuals, there is nothing wrong with them.

The Bad-tempered Ladybird (Picture Puffin)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Ages 0 to 2
by: Eric Carle

September 30, 1982
A great book, more worthwhile than many thanks to its amusingly negative protagonist (the ladybird) and universal lesson about the importance of sharing.

The Happy Waving Game: Story 4 ("In the Night Garden")

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Ages 0 to 2
by: BBC

September 26, 2007
I bought all 4 books from this collection, they are perfect for youngsters.
The pages are thick card, so not so easy to rip, bend or mutilate!!!
Any drool is easily wiped clean too :o)

Good little bedtime story books, with nice story, good colours & plenty of familiar faces from the TV progrm.

Highly recommended.

My son got a set of these books bought for his birthday and this is his absolute favourite. He is only 2 but he joins in with the actions and certain areas of the book are a highlight for him (where the cat jumps out) I can now read this book without looking after reading it so many times.

I would definitley recommend this for all children - a must have for your library at home!

Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? (Picture Puffin)

We got the board book version of this book out of the library for our nearly two year old, and she loves it! The illustrations are fun and colourful, and the story is simple with easy rhymes and repetition. A perfect book to read aloud at the end of the day.
