Off the shelf #100books
A few more round up reviews of books that we’ve had around for ages and I’ve read again to Smallest. The Whales’ Song is one of the batch of mini treasures that we picked up, but it’s also a book we’ve had for a while. It doesn’t seem like a first picture book somehow –…
More reviews from the children #100books
Big has been reading some Jeremy Strong, Read her reviews on Shinglestreet at The Battle for Christmas and The Beak Speaks. Small has read and reviewed Reviews at Worse things happen at sea and Safe Cracking for Students While three of these books were borrowed from the library, Worse things happen at sea was sent…
Turning the Tide #100Books
This was kindly sent to me for review by ChocLitUK for the 100 book challenge. I’m also going to enter ChickLitPlus challenge to read 12 chick lit books in a year, and this is number 1 🙂 Perhaps it’s because I’ve been reading so many books of such a varied type in such a short…
Doing the Animal Bop #100Books
This was sent to us free of charge by Oxford University Press for our 100 books challenge. Fun pictures and a great rhythm, this is a book that is crying out to be read to a group of toddlers so that they can join in with the actions – I suspect it’s destined to become…
Just like tonight #100Books
This was sent to us free of charge by Oxford University Press for our 100 books challenge. A lovely picture book, I think this will resonate on a deeper level with parents as the story revolves around Daddy Bear recalling the day Baby Bear was born in an effort to chase away a scary image…
Using our library for #100books
A challenge that is working to build a library overseas really ought to do more than nod at libraries here. We are not in an area where libraries are particularly threatened by the coming cuts as far as I can tell, but if we were, I’d be thinking hard about what I could do to…
Small reads and reviews for #100books
Small has put his reviews on his own blog. There are 4 that I haven’t previously linked to, so here goes. First up, a Ben 10 book with two stories in from the library, All That Glitters: AND Max Outreview and then a couple of books from our bookshelves, The Iron Man (review) and The…
Reading during rookie #100Books
Knowing that we’re just a bit behind (eek!) with our totals, I was quite pleased to see a pile of books on the table while waiting at the leisure centre during Big’s Rookie lifeguard on Thursday. So there you’ve got Splash, Amazing Machines Terrific Trains, Noddy and the Special Delivery Sound Book and Winnie the…
Innervention #100books
A twitter friend, Marc, aka The Business GP is someone who understands the value of charity – proceeds from his book on Renaissance Management are funnelled through to his charity Camp Quality UK. I think it was when he tweeted about that that I mentioned the 100 book challenge, and after a quick batch of…
When I Dream of ABC #100Books
This book was sent free of charge by Top That! Publishing to support the 100 Books Challenge. Yet another lusciously illustrated picture book, this time a quirky ABC with some very unexpected entries. I don’t recall ever reading an ABC that included vampires before! At least X doesn’t stand for Xylophone in this version –…
