  Harvey's Hideout By  Russel Hoban Published:   4th February 2018 Genre:  Children Edition : Ebook Source:  NetGalley Pages:  39 My rating : 5/5  Goodreads rating : 4.2/5 Read:  2018 This book shows how a simple story can work so well. The story is beautifully written and with lovely drawings.

Family reading...  or how it helps me to bound and get closer to my hubby and Little bookworm I want to share with you something personal. Although this blog is mainly for book reviews, once in a while I like to bring some different issues to debate. What do you feel about family reading time? Personally, I just love it. Have to confess. My boy is super young, three and a half months but the time we spend while reading is just unbelievable. I wanted to get him used to have two storytimes a day . Once before the naptime the other just before going to sleep. I know... getting him used to this will make me have to do it for a very long time... but I am not concerned. Reading is good in so many areas. Helps develop speech and language, helps develop the brain and the ability of thinking by himself, develops creativity and above all is an amazing way for us to cuddle and bounding. Other strategies include: a) Reading next to him while he p...

  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 ...
