Now that the preschooler knows that the postman brings goodies for him, I let him open up the parcel containing this book for review.
He was really excited (although he pointed out that the parcel didn’t have his name on it!) and LOVED the book cover, which was in his favourite purple
He immediately clambered [...]

Last year, I had to hunt for a Halloween costume when the preschool in China announced that they would be celebrating this dress-up event

My 3 year absolutely LOVES this book!
And I can’t get over how I’d just grabbed “The Trucks are Stuck” (originally published as Preschool to the Rescue) off the shelf after a quick browse – adding it to our check-out pile when I saw the lively illustrations, fairly sure my Bob the Builder fan will [...]

“Sadie’s Sore Throat” was the third Dr. Hippo book my toddler picked up after reading “The Little Elephant with the Big Earache” and The Moose with Loose Poops.
I think he was attracted by the brightly illustrated cover (by Katy Bratun) and the three giraffes (or gee-wuffs).
The story of “Sadie’s Sore Throat” begins with little [...]
