Your Turn, Doctor2 reviews
Deborah Robinson, Carla Perez

Puffin, 1984

Very clever book for young kids afraid of the doctor

I adore this book. It is about a little girl who fantasizes about switching roles with her doctor. She puts the doctor through all the usual tests at a physical and the doctor has a bad attitude throughout. Lots of visual humor for adults, too - funny labels on the medicine, books, file drawers, ...
  
  











  



  
Fox and His Friends: Level 3 (Easy-to-Read, Puffin)1 review
Edward Marshall

Puffin, 1994

Classic James Marshall

If you have a child between 3 and 8, you should buy this book. The late, great James Marshall (Edward was a pseudonym) had the rare ability to tell a story using easy-to-read words, but still with genuinely surprising and humorous twists. This book's ending is a brilliant twist, which I will not ...

Classic Baby Book

+ Pat the Bunny - Too Cute
+ wonderful for reading to babies

Pat the Bunny is the best first book to read to your baby. My daughter is fascinated by the bunny and the beard. If you receive two copies at your baby shower like I did, keep both because it will be loved to bits.

Peace at Last by Jill Murphy is a wonderful little book that is just right for bedtime stories. It's the tale of a drowsy Mr Bear as his attempts at sleep are disrupted by Mrs Bear's snoring, baby Bear's playing, clocks and cats, taps and owls (something no matter how old, we can all relate to). ...

Bring this one back!

+ Another classic by Rosemary Wells

I wish this one were not out of print. I am a huge Rosemary Wells fan and I think that this is one of her best. Both older and younger siblings will delight in Stanley and Rhoda's misadventures. "Don't look at it, don't touch it," was a catchphrase in my house growing up. Let's bring this one back ...

Plaid Bear, Rude Rabbit1 review
P. K. Roche

Dial, 1982

I grew up reading this book; it is one of the best out there

I grew up reading Plaid Bear and the Rude Rabbit gang, and have to say that it is one of the best books that I have ever read in my life. This book teaches kids how to deal with rude/'bad' people, and why you shouldn't be rude to other people. The thing about this book, however, is that it's not ...
