We reviewed the gorgeous Hardback (or ‘for best’ as Athena calls them) Mibo Books a while ago, and although we do read them quite often we have to be so careful as Arlo is still in the destructive phase and I don’t want anything to happen to the ‘best’ books! But now he can look… Read More
I’ve got a nice little collection of christmassy books for the kids, enough to fill the little bookcase which was a surprise when I had a sort through and got them all out! We’ve been reading one or two before bed each nice for the last few weeks and three seem to be getting picked… Read More
I absolutely love to find personalised books for my kids, I think it adds so much to their enjoyment (okay, Arlo doesn’t really understand yet but Athena definitely does!) and when I found out about the new book from the people who brought us ‘the little girl who lost her name’ books.

We’ve had a few new books this month as Athena got quite a few for her birthday and we also received some for her to review too. I’ll be doing another kids book post next week too with some more bedtime orientated books but this post is mostly about learning books but there is a… Read More
Animals are Delicious is a boxed set of three fold out board books, by Sarah Hutt, Dave Ladd and Stephanie Anderson. Designed to help children learn all about the food chain in three different habitats. Athena’s favourite of the three is ‘all around the forest’, and although at the moment she thinks animals eating other animals… Read More
