Prior to my sons arrival, hubby & I spent many an evening trying to recollect different nursery rhymes from our childhoods. We soon realised that we could barely remember any in full, if at all! Plus, with him being American & me being British, there seemed to be many differences between the rhymes we were both taught, leading to great debate as to whose version was best...! In order to settle the arguments & fill in the blanks, a nursery rhyme book was called for....
After much deliberating over the choice of nursery rhyme books available on Amazon, I finally decided on the 'Puffin Baby & Toddler Treasury'.
This is a hardback book, with a delightful dust jacket & cover adorned with pastel coloured pictures of baby toys & depictions of the stories/rhymes within. There is also a useful ribbon page marker.

Advantages: Well-drawn characters. Creative use of words. Disadvantages: A little difficult to adjust to the changing style of writing
The Book Thief written by Australian author Marcus Zusak was published in Australia in 2005 as an adult novel and in America in 2006 as a children?s novel. It finally came to the UK in 2007 published by Doubleday and Black Swan in both adult and teen-age versions. Though I have to admit, I do not know what the differences between the two versions are! My copy and the one I am reviewing is the adult version.
The novel proved to be a triumphant success greeted by glowing accolades from a wide range of literary reviewers ? excerpts of which can be found in the book.

Set in Nazi Germany during the Second World ...
Advantages: fantastic humour and sidesplitting laughter Disadvantages: None.. unless you don't like Bean
Creator: Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis.
Writers: Rowan Atkinson, Robin Driscoll, Richard Curtis and Ben Elton.
Stars: Rowan Atkinson.
Released in early 1990 until mid 1996, creating 14 half hour shows starring Rowan as a bumbling idiot who simply stumbles through life? usually at the expense of others.
MrBean is the brain child of Atkinson, though of whilst studying at Oxford University? performing a few quick sketches at the Edinburgh fringe in early 1980.
It is a simple format with very few characters involved? although each character and each 'prop' has a vital role in the creation and administration of the comical genius which is Rowan Atkinson's MrBean.
* THE MAIN CHARACTERS:
* MrBean himself?
MrBean, (having no first name) is a very slow minded person who can be somewhat selfish at times ...
