This Royal Baby by Zita Newcome

My Review

This is the most wonderful baby book ever!!

It is big, bold, bright and super sturdy - which is just perfect for those rough little fingers!

Everyone is talking about our fabulous new Royal Baby at the moment and what better way to honour him than with this brilliant book.

Each page has a different baby that does something different when the tabs are pulled. We have frowning faces, funny faces, tired faces and loving faces.

The best part is the little sing songing rhyming snippets on each page. My little guy simply loves this book and he sits and listens intently while making a fuss about the moving baby bits. It also winds down nicely for sleepy time - Yay!

This Royal Baby is thoughtfully put together and babies will have super fun looking at other babies. It takes us through lots of emotions and feelings and we think it is a big winner that we can very highly recommend!

A BIG 5 Stars!

Belle & Boo: Playday! Dress Up Sticker & Activity book by Mandy Sutcliffe

My Review

Aw, Belle and Boo are quite simply adorable in this super fun activity book.

Each page is filled with awesome things to do: Cupcake decorating, washing up, dressing up, spot the difference, puzzles and colouring in. Lily's favourite part has to be the dressing up, what little girl doesn't love to play dress up.

The stickers are a huge plus, kids absolutely love stickers! I loved sitting back and watching my 4 year old have the best of fun with this book.

Belle and Boo are gorgeous characters that are full of charm and wonder. This beautiful book will entertain for hours and is most definitely a big winner! We are already looking for our next Belle and Boo fix!

A BIG 5 Stars!

Goodnight Princess by Michelle Robinson & Nick East

My Review

Aw, this is an adorable bedtime book that is just perfect for any little princess out there!

The rhyming quality to this beautiful book is what makes it so special. It begs to be read out loud and  little ears will love to listen to that sing songy tune!

The storyline takes us through everything that is special to a lovely little lady. She says goodnight to each of her precious things in turn, then things wind down for a lovely sleepy bedtime ending!

The illustrations are very special indeed, they are super cute, eye catching and mainly consist of the colours pink and purple - what more could a little princess ask for?

A perfect book!

A BIG 5 Stars!

Snuggle and Cuddle Cloth Books

Igglepiggle Snuggle and Cuddle

 My Review

This Igglepiggle Snuggle and Cuddle cloth book is very cute indeed! It is the perfect 1st baby book and would make the best baby gift!

My baby loves this super soft snuggle book, he even takes it to bed! He loves looking at the big super bright pages, that have a fantastic In The Night Garden character on each one. His favourite page has to be the Tombliboo and it's spotty trousers page.

This is a wonderful book for babies that we could very easily recommend. It's also a great introduction to the well loved In the Night Garden world!

 Ladybird Snuggle and Cuddle: Bouncy Lamb

 My Review

The Bouncy Lamb Snuggle and Cuddle book is a super fun daytime book, I say daytime because it is a crinkly book, which babies will just adore scrunching up!

On each vibrant page there is a new animal to meet and a new touchy feely bit to explore. My baby's favourite page is the front cover, it has a cuddly lamb with a super soft wooly coat - which he loves to feel.

There are plenty of different textures and lots to discover and learn in this fantastic little first book - we loved it!

A BIG 5 stars for both books!

Diary of a Christmas Wombat by Jackie French‏

 My Review

Unfortunately we really didn't see the point of this picture book! It's very silly and I would of liked to have said but the kids will find it fun, but my daughter looked at me when it was finished and she wasn't really getting the point either.

Saying all of that, I think this would be a good book for twitchy little people who can't sit still for long and would rather look at the pictures!

The storyline follows a wombat on his quest to find carrots! He even encounters some Christmas faces along the way....

What also annoyed me was the way it kept repeating carrots, carrots, carrots......Grrrrr!

Okay it's fair to say this was most definitely not the picture book for us! On a big plus side, the illustrations were super cute and very funny, we enjoyed them a whole lot!

1.5 / 5 Stars!

The Crunching and Munching Caterpillar: Storybook & Jigsaw by Sheridan Cain & Jack Tickle‏

My Review

This is a spectacular little jigsaw and book that managed to keep us entertained for hours!

The book is an exploring adventure read that takes us through the busy life of a caterpillar, who just longs to fly like the other flying insects! He meets lots of interesting flying creatures, never knowing the big surprise that awaits him.

This enlightening story is a fantastic way of teaching kids about the wonderful life of a caterpillar. We adored seeing all the brilliant little illustrations that brought each page to life!

The book comes in a beautiful box complete with jigsaw! The jigsaw is so much fun and will help kids with fine motor skills, while still having a blast. It took my daughter quite a few tries to master the jigsaw, but she was brimming with excitement when she completed it (with a little help).

Another huge plus is the way you can colour-in the reverse side of the jigsaw. It occupies for hours and kids will love to make this their own, while having some fun.

The Crunching and Munching Caterpillar book & puzzle is a big interactive winner that kids everywhere should have on their wishlists! We loved it!

A BIG 5 Stars!

Belle and Boo: My Favourite Things Sticker & Activity Book by Mandy Sutcliffe

My Review

Wow, Belle and Boo is a fabulous activity book that captures and holds children's attentions for hours! Yay!

We are new to Belle and Boo's world, so we were very pleased to get stuck into this and see such a gentle friendship between the pair. On each page there is a super fun activity to do, word searches, colouring in, puzzles, drawing and best of all stickering!!

Belle and Boo's favourite things are quite charming and are laid out so wonderfully throughout the book. Each page is attractive and filled with exquisite illustrations, but can be brought to life beautifully by your little one.

This is a super cute activity book that is full of entrainment and little learning bits and pieces to try. We loved getting to know Belle and Boo and their favourite things and we had the best fun doing it.

We just need to get our hands on the Belle and Boo books now! :)
