Little One's Bedtime by Suzi Moore and Rosie Reeve

It is Bedtime but Little One is not tired. She comes up with ever more elaborate reasons why she can't go to bed yet. She and her faithful companion Teddy have many adventures to pursue before they can even think about sleep. They have pirate treasure to find, beautiful princesses to rescue from beastly dragons, epic dance performances to give and wizardly magic to perform!

A charming tribute to the ever fertile imagination of children. The illustrations are beautiful. A captivating story with only the slight drawback of possibly giving your own Little One even more ideas for reasons to delay bedtime!

Penguin's Hidden Talent by Alex Latimer

The time the Big Annual Talent Show has arrived but Penguin struggles to find his talent.

Some of the humour in this book seems to have been intended for the amusement of the adult reading the book rather than the child or perhaps just for an older child. In either case it was way above the head of my 18 month old who wasn't really taken with this book and it did not amuse me overly. The illustrations were attractive but, like the book itself, a little too abstruse for a toddler.

One Kiss, One Hug by Jason Chapman

Daddy Bear has read Ben and Ursula a bedtime story and tucked them into bed. Ursula has gone straight to sleep but Ben just cannot fall asleep.

Mummy and Daddy Bear fall prey to a ploy as old as time and every parent will feel their pain! An appealing story with delightful illustrations. An added bonus I found was the opportunity to give kisses and hugs every time Ben utters the plea "One kiss, one hug?"
