Lego Brickmaster Books. Woot. Woot.
That little lego brickmaster set there (books which have all the bricks you need to build the 30-odd models detailed inside) is fabulous. Really, honestly quite a stroke of genius. A book – AND lego. Genius. And you get BOTH books in one box for just £20. If you’re the proud owner of any kind of small lego fan, you’ll know JUST how good value that is. They do contain the all-important figures, most necessary for any...
Book review: Jack Frost by Kazuno Kohara
I honestly didn’t think Pink would enjoy this. It was too… odd. Angular. Frosty, actually. Not at all the soft, gorgeous imagery she usually chooses. Shows what I know.

The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide #20 – Look, a new ‘My Fairy’ Pop Up Book! Woot!

There is something endearingly charming about Louise Comforts illustrations, and the detail that goes into the eneromous pop-up ability is just perfect. Opened up fully, they create a large circle – the best method of attack is for you to tie the covers back on themselves, lie on the carpet with the book and simply immerse yourself utterly in...
The Bestest Christmas Gift Guide #3 – It’s Your Story Books
We only featured these recently, but they deserve another mention – and now before you leave it too late for Christmas! You can read the ItsYourStory review right here, but it’s simple really. Your child, in the book. Cue squeals of delight, and many many many many requests for reading it again. And again. And again. You honestly can’t go wrong with these for pre-schoolers, they will cherish them (our favourite...
