The Book People

Advantages: Cheap Books
Disadvantages: Limited Selection, post and packaging costs.

...People do a lucky dip selection. Currently there are 4 lucky dips in the August catalogue. With the lucky dip you choose an age range and then will receive 10 books, they cannot guarantee the exact selection but show you some examples of what may be included. Currently the childrens and teenagers books are 10 books for £7 and the adults 10 books for £10. I have bought these a few times and they work out at really good value. Even if you don't use all the books at 70p for a childrens book you can't go far wrong. Price Comparisons ----------------------------- I buy most of my books from Amazon so I have compared the prices on Book People with those of Amazon, all were up-to-date prices when I wrote this review. "The Little Red Tractor" ladybird books cost £2.50 each on Amazon but on The Book People you can currently purchase...

Welcome to the world of little people

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...For over 40 years, little people toy's have been specially designed to engage children on different levels, encouraging them to make new discoveries. My 1 year old was brought little people fun sound's train for christmas and it is brilliant. ~~~~WILL IT HELP MY CHILD TO LEARN?~~~~~ Little peoples toy's are designed to help your child learn from the ages of 12 months to 5 years, at the youngest age, your little one will begin by exploring little people toys, which help discover how his actions can make things happen. As your children grow, they will begin to act out stories about themselfs, using toys to imitate the real world experiences they have seen or tried them out themself's. With older children, imagination comes into play as they move from imitative play into creating a pretend world where anything can happen, this kind...

...Like most people I love a bargain! I also love buying books, both for myself as presents. So when I discovered The book people a few months ago I was very happy indeed! The book people. ************** The Book people are a company selling discounted books. They are not a club so there is no minimum number of books to purchase or any other catches. They simply sell books at hugely discounted prices.

Big Fun with Little People!!

Advantages: great range, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: so much choice you want them all!!!

...I decided to review the Fisher Price Little People range as one rather than all the individual items. You may have seen the review for the Lights and Sound Garage, which is part of this range. I actually bought my son a few of the Fisher Price range for Christmas and am pleased I did. The range includes Gararge, Farm, House, Zoo and Safari and Construction Site. They are available from all the major toy shops such as ToyrUs but Woolworths seem to the be the biggest stockists, that I have seen in the North Yorkshire area. The actual products that I have purchased are the Lights and Sound Garage and Farmyard. We also have the Construction Site add on set, rather than the full playset. Fisher Price have always been renowned for their childrens toys and although their designs have changed drastically over the years, they are...

learning little people

Advantages: Excellent for learning
Disadvantages: none

...I bought some little people toys for my daughter at xmas as my sister had bought for her daughter a few years back and i remember it kept her one amused so i thought this would be good for my daughter being almost 2 this was perfect for her. I bought her the zoo and the train set. The zoo is grea twith the animals and the noises they make she thought this was fun putting the animals in their places and hearing a noise when she did this you get the seal,lion,bird,elephant, monkey,polar bear,camel and the zoo keeper and car. When neach of these animals are placed in the zoo they make a noise which is rewarding and learning for you child to match the animal with noise. With the monkey you hit a lever and this makes the monkey jump to get to his bananas this makes a noise when you do this she loves this and forever does it...

Review of Fisher-Price Little People Range

Little People occupies your little ones!

Advantages: prices, large range, kids love 'em!
Disadvantages: packaging!

...Little People is a new updated range of plastic toys for children aimed at children from 1 to 5 years old. There is a large range of toys that intermingle. Toys, which we currently have in our household, include Noah's Ark, the fairground range and the Garage. All get played with everyday, which is some mean feat when my son, aged 23 months has so many different toys to play with. Little People are of course made by Fisher Price and are available in ?All good toy stores!? I personally have found the best range to be at Toys R Us and Woolworths. The toys are tough and durable just as you would expect from a company with a reputation such as they have. With all the items I have brought from this range I have had no problem them, all the sets have come complete no missing pieces or any damaged. The assembling was minimal and some...

The best book club going

Advantages: Cheap books, great service, great quality, good selection
Disadvantages: None

...I dislike being a member of Book clubs which stipulate that you have to order a certain number of books a year to remain a member. This is where I discovered The Book People. My mum has been a member of this company for years, and when I moved out of home, I decided I would join up for myself so that I could order myself some books! And I really think that it's one of the best things I have done to save myself a bit of money especially because I, and now my 18 month old son Harry, are book obsessives! Now all of the books sold by The Book People are massively discounted which is a huge incentive to join their company. They buy their books in bulk which is how they deliver such superb savings to the customer. The best offers I have found are packs of 10 books for just £10, when each book has an RRP of £6.99 each, so really they are...

Little people have big Fun on the farm

Advantages: lots of things to do, really educational and fun
Disadvantages: makes noises and needs batteries

...The world of little people by fisher price has so many options to choose from or indeed to collect over time. I chose to buy the ?world of little people? farm, as my little girl loves animals and from an early age was obsessed with trying to mimic their noises. With the help of this toy, she now recognises and mimics all the farm animals perfectly (and even confused her Nan into thinking there was a cat in the garden during one of her impersonations). Initially I was angry at fisher price for changing their toy people from my memories of them as a child. I sulked for a while, but then realised that their new style people are much safer and more child friendly. Everything in the world of little people range is made of strong and robust plastic, all of which has a lovely soft and quality finish. When my daughter was a baby i said that...

Little People Noahs Ark

Advantages: Chunky pieces, opens up completely so easy to play with
Disadvantages: None that I have come across

...This was one of the first of the many little people playsets that I have got for the children and they love it. The Ark does need minimal assembly when first opened. You will need to secure the cabin onto the deck of the Ark with two screws (supplied..but phillips screwdriver required). Snap a little door on to the cabin. You now have your Ark in two whole pieces, the hollow base and the deck roof, that snap together to make the completed Ark. Now you are ready to go. The roof comes off easily by pressing a large red button at one end..very easy for children to do. The hollow Ark base itself opens right up, again with a very easy to do release button, which allows childrens to play right inside. There is also a ramp door for the animals to go into the Ark 2 by 2! The set comes with rainbow flag that sits on top of the Ark...
