Monkey has found a very strange creature in the jungle. What could it be? It doesn’t have a tail for swinging, a trunk for washing, a long neck for reaching the high trees or even webbed feet for swimming. With the help of his animal friends he sets off to find out. Our young testers adored their time in the jungle amongst all the incredible animals and giggled when they discovered that the very strange creature is actually a baby. Layn Marlow’s stunning illustrations perfectly complement Ronda Armitage’s lively text.

Ty is the biggest and baddest of all the dinosaurs. He has a big, big mouth, big, big claws and a tiny little sister called Teri who loves him very much. When Ty goes hunting, his tiny little sister starts to become a big problem, but when Teri is in danger and needs saving her big brother comes to the rescue. This tale of the relationship between siblings was a huge success amongst our young readers who loved the fact that the ferocious dinosaur showed he had a warm heart by protecting his little sister. They were transfixed by the bold images of the dinosaur world.

Boom! Crash! Bang! A big, loud, snorting dragon has arrived and he’ll do anything to get the baby to hand over all his treasure. But no matter what the dragon does, the baby just giggles and smiles. In a charming twist at the end of the book the dragon discovers what the real treasure is. This fun-filled night-time tale was a definite hit with our testers who laughed when the dragon was left holding a dirty nappy. They relished the fact that despite the dragon’s bad mood the baby would only smile. An adorable picture book packed with bright, colourful pictures that quickly attracted attention.

The heroic toddler in this hilarious and imaginative picture book wants to protest – if animals don’t wear pants, then why should we? After all do piglets wear panties? Or puppies or bears? Do fox cubs wear boxers? No, nobody cares! The children could barely sit still they were laughing so much as they gazed at all the silly pictures of a range of different animals wearing colourful pants. With its fantastically funny illustrations and rollicking rhyme, Bottoms Up! met ­with a massive thumbs up from all of our little readers and their parents!
