The Further Adventures of The Owl and The Pussy-Cat – a great gift for kids this Christmas(Book Review)
Review of “The Owl and The Pussy-Cat” and “The Further Adventures of The Owl and The Pussy-Cat” – a great gift for children this Christmas! We were recently lucky enough to receive copies of the Owl and The Pussycat by Edward Lear and The Further Adventures of The Owl and The Pussy Cat by Julia Donaldson, both illustrated by Charlotte Voake and published by Puffin.

Doodles’ Book of the Week – Aliens Love Underpants
I haven’t had a chance to do a book post for a week or two! We have been outdoors so much, making the most of the good weather and I was so busy documenting the fun we were having that I forgot to keep up to date with our books of the week.

Not to worry, in a few short weeks he’ll be finished preschool forever (aghhhhhh, off to big school in September) and we’ll be off to the South of…
