I Want My Potty

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > General
by: Tony Rosss

2007-03
I love this book - but beware - I bought the cheapest paperback edition, but it turned out to be a US edition and uses the word 'diapers'. If you want your copy to say 'nappies' then don't buy the edition published by Kane Miller.

The Magic Porridge Pot (First Favourite Tales)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > General
from: Ladybird Books Ltd

March 25, 1999
I remember reading this book to my children,when they were small, they enjoyed listening to the story,they read it, over and over again, when they could read it themselves.
The reason I have been looking for the book is, I mentioned to my grandchildren that my wash basket was like the magic porridge pot every time I emptied it the next time I looked again it was full and I have been looking for the book ever since, so I could read it to them.
I mentioned it to my sister and asked where I could by it from and she put me on to Amazon.

The Listening Walk

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > General
by: Paul Showers

1993-02
I have enjoyed reading this book to young children as they join along in reading by making the sounds of the items outside that the little girl hears when she goes on a walk with her dad and dog. The way some of the words are printed on the pages add to the overall enjoyment of reading.

White on Black

This book is by no means a disaster, but our baby found it much less interesting than other options, even when very young. The dots and spots books are much more engaging in our experience.

Little Red Hen (First Favourite Tales)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > General
from: Ladybird Books Ltd

March 25, 1999
A well told, simply illustrated version of a classic tale.
My daughter requests this book every night before bed and loves to finish each page herself (although she can't yet read).
A good moral tale about helping out.
Smashing!

Tricky Word Wall Flowers (Jolly Phonics)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > General
by: Sara Wernham, Sue Lloyd

January 31, 2002
I purchased these as my child is learning tricky words at school. These have so far been excellent as any words that he is struggling with have been stuck up on the wall at home to aid with recognition. As the previous reviewer mentioned these are large but for us that has been of benefit as he can see them from some distance. He's also had great fun and satisfaction removing them as he has learnt the words. We also used the hat to put in any words which he may need a refresher or is finding particularly hard to remember. For us these have been of huge benefit.

Ten Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed (Classic Board Books with Holes)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > General
from: Child's Play (International) Ltd

2001-09
The book itself is good quality, however the holes in the book just don't quite work with this rhyme. Nothing wrong with it, probably just personal taste.

I have bought a number of other board books with holes for my son (only just 3 years) and he loves them but this one he just doesn't want to read or look at.

Red Riding Hood (First Favourite Tales)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > General
from: Ladybird Books Ltd

March 25, 1999
I bought this whole series and they are a superb step up from the Ladybird board books. However Red Riding Hood is too scary for two year olds. Ours can cope with little pigs being eaten but not a scary grandmother turning into a wolf !

On the Way Home

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > General
by: Jill Murphy

July 06, 2007
Claire has a cut on her knee and she sets off home to tell her mum all about it but on the way she meets many friends and tells them weird and wonderful stories about how she came to have a bad knee including a crocodile attack, being kidnapped by a witch and a misdemeanour with a gorilla. It's a beautifully-illustrated, inspiring tale that will wet a child's imagination. A real joy to read.
