3 pre-school books for the summer hols

AJ has had 2 lovely review books from TopThat Publishing.


Po-Tolo by Olly Oliver
  • 32 pages
  • Publisher: Top That! Publishing (1 Mar 2012)
  • ISBN-13: 978-1849566094

Po-Tolo is a spaceman, Lop is an octopus and Izzy is a Bumble Bee with hayfever!  So begins a tale with a green moral about how important bees are. Can Plan B work to save the bees and the planet?

Great characters and fabulous illustrations. A fun read with a serious green message.  Would love to see more from Po-Tolo

5 out of 5!



  • 64 pages
  • Publisher: Top That! Publishing (1 Mar 2012)
  • ISBN-13: 978-1849567237

We had already seen When I Dream of ABC and were excited to see When I Dream of 123 . 
Original illustrations that would make great posters for the wall.  Counting made fun finding numbers of everything from Polar Bears to Princesses to Snowflakes. It is a lovely companion to When I Dream of ABC.  Would make a  great gift for a pre-schooler.





The 3rd book was a gift after the lovely folks at TopThat saw my tweets about how very ill AJ had been with a severe asthma attack a few weeks ago. Big thank you to TopThat


  • Paperback: 30 pages
  • Publisher: Top That! Publishing (1 Aug 2011)
  • ISBN-13: 978-1849564557

AJ chose Fast Cars Sticker Reference Book.  He is ready to go to school in Sept and is becoming more interested in anything that moves.
I liked this book because it would make an ideal gift. It comes with a free metal keyring of a racing car attached to the front.
It is factual but not overwhelming for younger readers just starting to look at information books.  The stickers add an extra fun activity to the book.

5 out of 5 for us!
