Little beaver and the big front tooth by Amy Macdonald

We didnt even get very far into this before it was chucked with a resounding nooo from the toddler. I tried to reengage her with it but she was having none of it. I tried to read the rest of it, but I got bored. It's about a beaver with a loose tooth, that much I gleaned, then it all goes a bit weird and the beaver gets upset and doesn't identify itself as a beaver anymore due to said wobbly tooth. It was all a bit too tame for Minnie; the pictures were ok but didn't grab her attention at all.

My Big Photo Activity Book by Pascal Estellon

What a brilliant concept! It's a big book filled with lots of photographs that you can add to; its an open invitation for you to go wildly creative alongside and on the pictures.

It really is just a gorgeous activity book that you frankly don't want to touch as you feel you would ruin it. Which is possibly missing the point! But this is why I haven't let the crazy toddler lose on it with her imagination... Yet. But I am very much looking forward to it when I can!

Muffin and the Expedition by Clara Vulliamy

This is ok, not worth a repeat visit as it didn't really click with the toddler. She read it once but disregarded it straight away. It's just not very captivating, which is a shame as it was nice... Just a tad boring really.

Maisy, Charley and the Wobbly Tooth by Lucy Cousins

I know every parent of a baby/toddler has Maisy books; I must confess we had none before this. I don't know why, if they are all as fun as the wobbly tooth then I will get some more!

Lucy Cousins is obviously very well known for her bold use of colours and quirky drawings. The crazy toddler really enjoyed this simple tale of going to the dentist and I found it a really charming read.
