  • Stanley Paste

    Aaron Blabey seems to hit the nail firmly on the head when it comes to creating children’s picture books dealing succinctly with dilemmas children will either face, or see their peers facing. He achieves this without patronising his audience, in fact he injects just the right level of humour. Stanley Paste is incredibly small. This…

  • Sam And His Dad

    Sam and his Dad by prolific children’s book writer Serge Bloch is a delight to read. Touches of humour and a slightly more detailed text make this a perfect Father’s Day themed book for this age group, 4+. I love that this father-centred book doesn’t proclude the other members of Sam’s family. “My-darling-Mummy-whom-I-love-to-bits” gets several…
