The Bravest Ever Bear- Alan Ahlberg

The Jolly Pocket Postman - Alan Ahlberg

The Jolly Pocket Postman by Janet & Allan Ahlberg. This is a quite enchanting and extraordinary addition to the Jolly Postman series of books. The authors have cleverly interwoven the stories of Jack & The Beanstalk, Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz, with shades of Sliding Doors (I kid you not, read on!). The Story - The Jolly Postman starts his day in quite ordinary fashion, having his breakfast, reading the paper and feeding the dog. However, when he tries to go to work on this particular day, he finds that his bicycle tyre is flat. This one, seemingly innocuous event, sets an adventure in motion. His slight change of routine leads to him being ...

Peepo! - Allan Ahlberg

on each page to really hold her interest, I found it nostalgic and interesting to look through the book but it s not fun for young babies like the other Allan Ahlberg books I ve seen. The text in Peepo! is a lovely flowing poem which my granddaughter will listen to for a few minutes, but even when I sing it she doesn t really want to sit still to listen to 30 pages worth of it. I think if the pictures were more attractive and exciting to look at then she would have shown more interest in the story but visually this book just isn t exciting enough for her to enjoy. All of the text is simple so an older child who is just learning to read would be able to follow the words ...
