Fox in Socks (Dr Seuss Green Back Books)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Picture Books
by: Dr. Seuss

May 06, 2003
Dr. Seuss, the famous author of `The Cat in the Hat' and `how the Grinch stole Christmas', has written this masterpiece (which is tricky to say)!
Fox in Socks is a brilliant board for books and it is a book of crazy tongue twisters. It is a simple, sturdy book for babies of all ages (as it says on the back). Dr. Seuss is great if you want a laugh or you need some cheering up (although hit might frustrate you at times)!
In this book, there is a fox, Knox, chicks, Sue and Slow Joe Crow. In addition, an unnamed chicken chews the blue gooey goo. I think this book is lovely but the events are very, very, very random. I would rate this book 7/ 10 and I would recommend it to all children and fun-loving adults.

The Quangle Wangle's Hat

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Picture Books
by: Edward Lear

January 02, 2006
This is a thoroughly gorgeous edition of the poem of the Quangle Wangle Quee. I remember the poem clearly from my own childhood and surely you do too. If not, then you're never too old to become acquainted with it:
On the top of the Crumpetty Tree
The Quangle Wangle sat,
But his face you could not see,
On account of his Beaver Hat.
For his Hat was a hundred and two feet wide,
With ribbons and bibbons on every side,
And bells, and buttons, and loops, and lace,
So that nobody ever could see the face
Of the Quangle Wangle Quee....
And there came to the crumpetty tree ... a whole menagerie of interesting beasts, a pobble who hast no toes and a small Olympian bear for example, each of which is ... Read More:

This was a great buy and you have days and days of enjoyment ahead

Meg and Mog (Picture Puffin)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Picture Books
by: Helen Nicoll, Jan Pienkowski

August 28, 1975
This is an excellent book - we got it for my 2-year old son for Christmas, and he already knows most of it off by heart. He particularly loves saying the spell (Snap, crackle and POP!) and then seeing what happened on the next page (see the title - yelling BANG at the top of his voice). I'm now hunting for some more ...

Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Picture Books
by: Emily Gravett

August 03, 2007
My son is finding reading difficult and for a while, refused to have stories read to him because he perceived them as being (school) "work". I have to choose books for him very carefully and this was one I knew straight away that he would like.

The book is interactive and appeals to a childs imagination because of the chewed edges, holes in pages, pull out maps and newspapers. This is a lovely book and one I would consider giving to children as gifts.

I can see that this book will remain with us for a very long time.

What Planet Are You from Clarice Bean? (Clarice Bean)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Picture Books
by: Lauren Child

September 26, 2002
This book has a positive message about the environment as well as the usual bright illustrations. The front cover is dazzling and it also features Betty Moody's first appearance.

One day, Clarice's older brother Kurt causes a commotion by telling his family that the tree in their street is going to be chopped down so they all camp outside in order to save it. On the other hand, this gives Clarice an idea for her school project on the environment, but will it cause her to be late for one measly day for school? Read the book to find out...

Spot's Big Lift-the-flap Book (Spot Books)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Picture Books
by: Eric Hill

September 05, 2002
My littl girl adores this book. There are loasd of "lift the flaps" for her to explore and the entire content is suitable for her with animals, shapes, colours etc. The only down side is that it is a paper book rather than board so some of the flaps are getting creased, also some of the flaps are very near to the spine of the book meaning that you have to be careful to make sure the flap is fully closed before you can turn the page without creasing the flap. Even so, I still think this book is a very worhwhile book for a toddler to have.
