Big Picture, the

by Douglas Kennedy

Hmmm. Nothing special really. It was a good, easy read, but quite improbable and not especially memorable

On the Road (Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century)

by Jack Kerouac

Aaaaargh it only took me about….ooooh….. 15 weeks to read this. I didn’t hate it. I just didn’t find it very interesting or engaging. I found it hard to warm to the characters. It was a bit of a slog of a read.

Can't You Sleep, Little Bear? (Big Bear & Little Bear)

by Martin Waddell

It was my favourite book when I was 2, apparently. This, and Postman Pat. This is still one of my favourites. Postman Pat is not…. Mainly because I am now on the receiving end of being forced to read about him repeatedly every single day.

Essential Bob Dylan

by Bob Dylan

An excellent introduction to Bob Dylan. I bought it a few years ago without having previously listened to any of his work, and it got me right into Dylan. A great collection of all his most famous songs.

New & Improved Diaper Genie

It is a godsend! I work in a nursery and it comes in super-duper handy every single day. Makes my job muuuuuch easier

Peekaboo Baby! (First Focus S.)

by Mandy Ross

Quite boring, but I like the rhyming.

A story about "Hippo-not-amus"

Hippo-not-amus

by Tony Payne

The story isn’t especially brilliant, but the illustrations are perfect- detailed (but not too much), vibrant and funny.

A story about "Lettice the Flower Girl"

Lettice the Flower Girl

I couldn’t hate this story more if I tried. It’s awful.

There's a Hippopotamus on Our Roof Eating Cake (Knight Books)

by Hazel Edwards

This book is utterly fantastic. I work in a nursery and it’s one of the few books that I enjoy as well as and as much as the children. ”’Is it birthday cake?’
‘No’
‘Is it chocolate cake?’
‘No’
‘Is it special cake?’
‘Yes’
There’s a hippotamus on our roof eating special cake.”
