Jess Butterworth is one of my favourite new authors of the past few years and I'm so excited for a new book from her next year. Ahead of that, a belated review of her two books to date...

Hosted by ‘Taking on a World of Words’, every Wednesday we ask and answer the 3 W’s: Last time, I snuck an extra W in there too with what Peapod and I had read that week, but I've decided to do a regular "Peapod's Picks" post each Friday instead - picture books/board books new and...

First published almost 125 years ago, the combination of the wild world, freedom and adventure in The Jungle Book mean it is just as appealing today as it was then.

Hosted by ‘Taking on a World of Words’, every Wednesday we ask and answer the 3 W’s: I've missed the last few weeks - newborns are time consuming! - and I'm definitely not getting through books at my usual rate (goodbye evening read before bed!) but I'm just about surfacing again!

Who does this lost egg belong to? Can our little egg find its way back to the right parents before it hatches? While the story is a familiar one (lost baby - looking for parents - finds lots of others but not their own because of x/y/z - reunited for a happy ending), this is... Continue Reading →
I stumbled on this weekly 'round up' via Kelly's Rambles, it is originally hosted over here on 'Taking on a World of Words' though. I keep thinking I might branch out from just reviews to other book-ish posts and this seemed a good way to start, as well as hopefully being a good way to... Continue Reading →
