AJ's Pre-school choices

AJ had some lovely books arrive from TopThat! Publishers.
These would be lovely stocking fillers or books to get with those book vouchers.


This first book, Little Penguin Learns to Swim  is the story of the day on CBeebies at 1pm, Christmas Day.

It was an important day for Little Penguin. He was going swimming for the very first time.

New and emerging readers will love to join Little Penguin as he prepares for his first swim. As he meets friends along the way, Little Penguin tries to overcome his fear.  Will Little Penguin be brave enough to jump in and swim?

Young children will be able to identify with Little Penguin as he embarks on a new challenge that seems impossible and quite scary.  Along the way he meets other Antarctic creatures who give him the confidence to take the plunge.

We loved sharing this story which was just the right length for bedtime.  The  soft pastel sketches are beautiful and make Little Penguin and his friends adorable.

5 out of 5!

Farmer McDoogle has a very unusual farm.  On his farm he doesn't keep chickens, cows or pigs.  On his farm he keeps monsters!

Diggle must use all of his expert knowledge, and a bag of smelly old socks, to find a missing Gogglynipper.

Will he find the Gogglynipper before Farmer McDoogle finds out?

Diggle is out on the farm rounding up Gogglynippers.  Yes, this is no ordinary farm. There is not a cow, pig or sheep to be seen.  This is a farm of , not too scary, monsters.  One of the Gogglynippers is missing and Diggle must find him before the farmer finds out.   

I believe this one will appeal particularly to little boys with funny looking monsters.
Although you may think monsters for bedtime reading is not a good idea, the Gogglynipper has a secret that may help your little one when it comes to bedtime.

Be prepared to concentrate on the tongue-twisting tale. :)

4 out of 5!
