Review:-
A simple and beautifully told story about the death of Badger, and the subsequent grief felt by his friends. Death is portrayed as a relief and release for old Badger. His friends come to realise that their lives have been enriched by his friendship and with the passing of time they are able to remember him fondly and without sadness. A sensitive story giving a new angle to a subject that we all shy away from, particularly with children, though most children will have to deal with the death of a family member or loved one at least once during their childhood. Suitable from pre-school plus (Don't be surprised if you 'fill up' when you read it aloud !)

This is a great book for small children from age 2 upwards. The book has a good story but it's the illustrations that really make it, they're bright and bold and the detail in some of the pictures is amazing. I bought it for my 3 year old son and he loves it!

Review:-
There were only a very few rich animals in the world, and the richest by far was a crocodile, ' Postgate begins, introducing his nattily attired reptile hero. The crocodile cocks a toothy satisfied smile at readers, but in truth, he isn't happy--not like the animals he spies through his telescope...The message that money can't buy happiness is as old as the hills, but Postgate makes it bloom anew.

In this readable but ultimately forgettable story, a diminutive lime-green dinosaur follows in the literary footsteps of many other small but mighty characters who aid someone larger or more powerful. The tiny dinosaur, cleverly called Tiny, is cruelly taunted by the larger dinosaurs because of his size, so he finds a new friend, a bird named Archie. The pair of friends devise their own games and entertainments, happily spending time together. When Tyro the T. rex stomps so hard he cracks the (evidently fragile) ground, Tiny and Archie lead him to safety. The logistics of this rescue are hard to see in the illustrations because the cracks in the surface are rendered as flat gray lines that seem neither deep nor dangerous. Several spreads are confusing due to the inclusion of multiple images of the three main characters without clear delineation between scenes. Tiny and Archie do have a certain charm, both in their visual depiction and in their play together, but not enough to overcome the several mystifying spreads and the pat ending. (Picture book. 4-7)
About:-Farmers Big and Bluster are bickering over who has the biggest and best cornfield. Meanwhile, Farmer Smarts is quietly confident that his is the best, but he’s not saying anything…One day all three farmers find MICE all over the fields! So they decide to take control of the situation by building mousetraps. Farmers Big and Bluster, in their extravagant, bombastic way, both go to town trying to outdo each other by building huge machines to trap the mice. The mice carry on munching regardless… Meanwhile, Farmer Smarts has got himself a FAT CAT who is the most successful mousetrap of all…
Review:-
James Sage and Russell Ayto's Fat Cat is a quirky and humorous tale, detailing Farmer Bluster and Farmer Big's inept attempts to rid their fields of an infestation of very cheeky mice. The farmers compete with each other to build a series of increasingly outlandish Heath Robinson-type contraptions, much to the mice's amusement. However, none of them have reckoned on their neighbour, Farmer Smarts' simpler and more effective solution-Fat Cat, "a cat with attitude". And the reason behind the champion mouser's ample girth is revealed towards the end.
Ayto's imaginative illustrations are highly detailed, including lots of lively dialogue between the characters. The farmers' bizarre inventions will especially appeal to young readers who love mechanical drawings and gadgetry. Ages 4-7
About:-Here comes Duck in his truck, the wonderful new character soon to be the focus of a whole new series. But watch out for that rock Duck … too late Duck’s truck is stuck in the muck!The truck is well and truly stuck, but luckily help is at hand in the form of a Frog. When the Frog and the Duck fail to eject the truck, they enlist the help of a Sheep who just happens to be passing by in his green jeep. But even the might of the sheep can’t move the truck. Fortunately, there is a nearby lake and at this very moment a clever goat floats by relaxing in his boat. He devises a cunning plan which does indeed set the truck free… but with unexpected and hilarious consequences.
Review:-
This is the duck driving home in a truck. This is the track which is taking him back. This is the rock stuck by the truck and this is the muck where the truck becomes stuck." Thus is the scene set for a comic escapade involving a sheep in a jeep and a goat in a motorboat, trying all a manner of tricks to free the cantankerous duck. Alborough's text is perfect for reading out loud, and the mix of close-up and panoramic illustrations give an animated, live action feel.
