Pants by Giles Andrea and Nick Sharratt

What can I say... This is a big, shiny, fun, colourful rhyming book about pants! Small pants, big pants, giant frilly pig pants... It's quite frankly the best book about pants there is!

Nick Sharratt is a firm favourite in our house; I love his colourful happy illustrations, they always keep the toddler's attention, so we end up being able to read these again and again. Which is fine by me as I probably enjoy them more than she does at the moment!

Twoo Twit by Kes Grey and Mary Mcquillan

This is a lovely story about a little owl who is not very clever as he doesn't go to school. I'm not sure if the toddler has a clue regarding the moral of the story, but she loved the fluffy owl and pointed at all the little baby animals. I even learnt what baby hares are called! (not sure how to pronounce the name, but something new learned all the same) It really is a very cute, beautifully illustrated book and of course there is a happy ending. This is becoming a firm favourite for her choice of bed time story

One pig went for a drive by Alan Durant and Tor Freeman

This book is so much fun; it's all about one pig who went for a drive and encounters a whole host of car troubles on the way. Each time there is a problem he meets a fellow piggy who gladly helps out. Until there are five pigs going on a journey.

The book's drawing style reminded me of Richard Scarry's Busy Town, which is probably why I warmed to it. The toddler even managed this book being read to her during daylight hours and that's quite a feat seeing as it doesn't rhyme and is quite long - normally her attention would wonder - but she happily sat and listened and even requested it again later on. So a big piggy thumbs up from us!
