Best Word Book Ever

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > General
by: Richard Scarry

March 01, 2003
I had this book when I was little and I loved it. Seeing it for sale over 25 years later brought back happy memories. I ordered 2 copies at Christmas for my nieces. On delivery I was very disappointed. The book was a lot thinner than the original and with a lot more American words in it. I don't remember the original having a lot of American spelling in it. It could be very confusing for children trying to learn English words and spellings for things.

I was so disappointed I sent them both back! You can pick up better word books on the High Street.

Somethings from childhood are better left there!

A Dog So Small (Puffin Books)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > General
by: Philippa Pearce

July 25, 1974
This was one of my favourites as a child. I recently re-read "A dog so small" and was gripped again by the story, the beautiful writing and the atmosphere that the author conjures up.

The story is simple: a boy longs for a dog but is disappointed when all he receives for his birthday is a rather obscure cross-stitch picture from Mexico. But Ben soon uses the power of his imagination to fill the dog in the picture with life. While at first this is fun, Ben's obsession starts to have more negative effects as the boundaries between reality and fantasy become blurred.

What I like about this book is its emotional depth. Young readers are not shielded from the quite intense sometimes negative emotions that children can have. ... Read More:
