Advantages: good story, lovely pictures, understandable message Disadvantages: want more adventures
...before having your friends join in again. This, she certainly goes along with.
The book is written by DavidBedford. It is written quite simply but with a pleasant rhythm to the words and phrasing. He is the author of other children's books such as the splendid "Big Bear Little Bear" and "Little Otter's Big Journey". For older children, he has also written a football series: "The Team". As I have not read this, I cannot comment further.
The book is illustrated by Emily Bolam. She has also illustrated several other children's books such as: "Gotcha Louie!" and "Goin' to Boston". Here, she has drawn big and bold pictures, which bring the story to life. Although the crocodiles look similar, the lead character has its own individual look.

Advantages: Gentle story for Easter Disadvantages: none
...Now that the Easter eggs are on the shelves and Christmas is well and truly past, I thought I would share this book with you all. I know that a lot of parents are concerned when it comes to giving their children lots of chocolate at Easter and I feel that this book would make an excellent alternative to an egg.
***Background***
This book is written by Sophie Piper and is illustrated by Gaby Hansen. Sophie Piper is better known for writing Bible stories but this one isn't religious at all apart from the fact that it happens at Easter.
Gaby Hansen has illustrated many children's books for a variety of different writers including DavidBedford and Jane Johnson.
***The Story***
This book tells the story of a little bunny that wakes up in a basket on a shelf alongside lots of other little bunnies.
Soon a lady and her two children...

In his true story he gives versions of the true events that took place in his family home.
