Advantages: A truly lovely story - with just a bit of sex.
Disadvantages: If you like this one, you'll end up buying all of F.North's books.

...Having already read Chloe, and discovering the double hardback edition in a charity shop, I thought I’d buy it and read Sally too… I’m so glad that I did. Set in between a city school and the beautiful Isle of Mull, this story is about the sexual conquests of Sally Lomax. Thinking that she needs to shed her school-marm image, she indulges in an affair of Jackie-Collins proportions, only to fall flat when she falls for her quarry. A wonderful, escapist tale that you could take to the beach or the back yard and while away an afternoon. All of Freya North’s books are well written, with outstandingly beautiful descriptions and loveable characters. You really believe in them and it’s a lovely touch that Ms North continues the story of each on her website: www.freyanorth.com... Read review

Advantages: Flaps to lift, animals to find, educational, well loved characters
Disadvantages: none

...One of the most recognisable characters to pre-school children, after TV favourites like the Teletubbies, must be Spot the dog. Eric Hill has written many books about this lovable puppy, together with his parents Sam and Sally and his friends. "Where's Spot"is one of the simplest of the story and revolves around Sally looking for Spot at dinner time. She looks all over the house and finds all the other animals but no Spot, until the tortoise helps her out. All the pages have flaps to lift - lift up the cover on the bed to find the crocodile, open the box to find penguins, monkey in the wardrobe etc etc, making it excellent both for co-ordination and learning animal names. An all time classic... Read review
