Bob The Builder Pocket Library

This little box set contains 6 board books about 6 of the Bob the builder characters; Scoop, Roley, Muck, Lofty, Benny and Scrambler. The books are not so much stories but more of brief introductions about the characters, for me this was great as I knew 1 or 2 of them but there are so many characters around I get Bob the builder characters mixed up with handy Manny and Fireman Sam muddled with postman Pat! They are ideal for new fans or for children with a short attention span, but for Bob enthusiasts they may be a little boring as they will of course know about the characters already and there are no adventures or funny escapades only very ...  Read the complete review

This set of 6 Bob the BUilder books come packaged in a cardboard casing. They fit snugly so ther eis no fear of losing one although there is also no chance of a little one getting one out.

Bob the Builder has been around for a fair few years now and a show that I believe is set to continue for a long time. Paying the price I did I felt was pretty reasonable ...  Read the complete review

It was my grandson's birthday on the 17th April and so I travelled up to London to celebrate his third birthday. In today's society families have to separate and go where the work takes them, so I only get to visit Jack about four times a year. We do talk on the phone, which is very special since he's so young. But Jack is a clever boy and his parents encourage him to recognise people, places and other things, so he does know me as his "nanny". He does have another "nanny", my son-in-law's mother. I'm not sure how we both became Jack's nanny, instead of Nan, Gran etc. I suspect that Gran or Grannie sounds very old-fashioned. I'd already spent ...  Read the complete review
