A Great Big Cuddle by Michael Rosen Illustrated by Chris Riddell
A Great Big Cuddle by Michael Rosen Illustrated by Chris Riddell
Two
giants of children’s literature have joined forces to create a
magical anthology of poetry for the very young. In a perfect
introduction to poetry Rosen starts with a cornucopia of tongue
twisters and nonsense rhymes and ends with soothing verses to send
even the most energetic child off to sleep. Paired with Riddell's
bold and beautiful illustrations you will have lots of fun reading
this out loud. A great present for all occasions.

How to Fight a Dragons Fury By Cressida Crowell
So this is Hiccup last adventure! However his army of fans will not be disappointed. Hiccup is fighting to save the dragons along with a few familiar faces and there are some really touching moments alongside rip roaring adventure. The classic David and Goliath premise will appeal to all. Personally I am going to really miss Hiccup's dragon Toothless. If you have withdrawals check out the brilliant website at www.howtotrainyourdragonbooks.com for more games and stories.

She
Is Not Invisible by Marcus Sedgewick
Marcus
Sedgwick has set up a fascinating premise that will have you gripped
from the start. Laureth is sixteen and blind so when she sets off to
find her missing father with her young brother and his stuffed toy
raven Stan you want her to succeed despite the odds. It makes us look
at the world from different angles and appreciate the mindset of a
girl who no longer wants to be invisible just to fit in. Thought
provoking.
