A children's classic still going strong Advantages: nice story Disadvantages: black and white pages This book was a firm favourite of my wife’s when she was a little girl, and so we nostalgically bought it for our two year old. I’d never seen it before, and I have to say I’m not sure what all the fuss is about. The story tells about a family that go on a walk, which they call a bear hunt. They walk through a variety of tough weather conditions, before finding a bear which chases them home. The book uses repetitive language to help children learn ... ...my two year old can recite it after only a few reads, which is nice. The best thing about the book is the illustrations, which are watercolour paintings or ink drawings painted in watercolour. They are sketch-like, and add an old school feel to the book. Sadly, every alternate page is black and white, which I just don’t understand: when one of the big things about the book is the colour, why scrimp? The story is best read with dramatic action and ... bruffyboy 27.04.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of We're Going on a Bear Hunt - Michael Rosen	Would you read it again?

An interlude while waiting for Harry Potter 5 Advantages: A good interlude while waiting for Harry Potter Disadvantages: Very straight forward, will disappoint some ...<The Story> Which Witch, is the second in the series of stories revolving around a magical lost kingdom ((Secret of Platform 13 being the first). This book is a separate story from the first book and some readers will be disappointed that the characters from the first book do not feature as main characters in the second book. In a very humorous story, we find ourselves following the lives of several witches hell bent on marrying the darkest wizard ... ...there is no sign of a replacement evil wizard, he decides to have a contest between the local witches, so that the witch that casts the darkest spell will marry him. Belladonna, the prettiest witch of them all, and the only one who seems to be unable to cast dark magic, competes with the other witches (including a very sophisticated witch that is very reminiscent of Cruella de Ville, a pair of twin witches who are always disagreeing, a batty old ...

Toilet Humour Advantages: Great fun, hits the spot. Disadvantages: None ..."Is it a stoat who's making a stink? Or a pig who's washing his pants in the sink?" There, it is a simple plot, and not too taxing. The book was written by Jeanne Willis and Adrian Reynolds did the artwork. Willis has other books to her credit, such as 'The Really Rude Rhino,' and 'Grill Pan Eddie.' I think I will be looking out for more of her books!
