Inky the Octopus By  Erin Guendelsberger Publish: 3rd April 2018 Genre : Children Edition : PDF (via NetGalley) Source : Free Pages : 32 My Rating : 5/5 Goodreads rating : 4.45/5 Read : February 2018 Hello, people here I am again! These days I am ruling my Mum's blog! ( sorry mum! But not sorry hahaha ). The book I am presenting today is about the real story of an octopus that escaped from New Zealand Aquarium in 2016. The author tried to recreate the story and gave her personal touch with a bit of imagination the escape.  I really enjoyed listening to the story that's why I asked mum to accept to be part of the Inky the Octopus The Blog Tour that is going on from 26th of March to 13th of April. The story is really nice and the book is written like it is a song... in verses. And the drawings!!! Full of colour and really good! I was actually wanting that the octopus could escape and I was so happy when I realised tha...

  Miss Winter's Demise and other crimes against Poetry By  Paul Minton Published:   28th January 2018 Genre:  Children, poetry Edition : Ebook Source:  NetGalley Pages:  112 My rating : 4/5  Goodreads rating : 4/5 Read:  2018 This is a very interesting poetry book. Since children almost always tend not to read and avoid poetry at any cost, this is a good book to introduce them to it.  There are various poems with different subjects that children will enjoy. Some are funny, some are scary, but at the end, they all are written with good quality. The drawings that sometimes accompany the poems are fun and makes the book lighter for children. What did I not like the book? Maybe it is a long book for children. Once in a while, the subjects change very suddenly. It is not fun like that. And what did I like? Simple poetry for children. Price  Amazon:  £6.99 For now just found on Amazon. After ...

 Herding Cats By  Sarah Anderson Published:   27th March 2018 Genre:  Comics Edition : Ebook Source:  NetGalley Pages:  116 My rating : 4/5  Goodreads rating : 5/5 Read:  2018 Go make stuff! First ARC of 2018 that is not published yet.  This is another book from Sarah's Scribbles series. It is comics for adults. And we can relate to them so easily.  They are funny and easy going to read. Seeing it available as ARC I thought that I really wanted to have it. And I was not disappointed. The author makes jokes with daily stuff in a clever way. It is so lovely to read and just get away of our daily problems... The second part of the book she focus on the creation process... which is very important. She sends the message that we should never give up on our dreams... on our hope... something that in our society is so easy to happen. People do not encourage others to persue their happiness... People do not li...

On the dog walk! By  David J. Robertson Published:  28th December 2017 Genre:  Children Edition : Ebook Source:  NetGalley Pages:  29 My rating : 5/5  Goodreads rating : 5/5 Read:  2018 In NetGalley I have found several books for my little one, which makes me so happy! This book was a treasure that I found. For three days I have read this book for my baby. He is too young to understand the story but at the same time, it is a good exercise to make him used to stories. Everyday I read twice for him. It is amazing to see his reactions. But let's get back to the book. The story is beautifully written and I am pretty sure I'll read it again in the future. It is inspired by a real dog, Misty, a very cute Border Collie. One day, Misty and her friends get lost and try to find their way home. While doing that they have several adventures with rabits, weird machines and crawling bugs. Will they manage to find their way?? ...
