I’ve been reading some classic children’s chapter books with my kids over the last few months. It started with as a way to introduce our 5 year old to “chapter” books. “Chapter Books” is the term we use for books that have chapters with lots of writing and limited pictures. This whole process started as […]
I’m so behind at the moment and now with a broken keyboard I’m only just getting this post out about our March & April Books. And we’re almost at the end of April. Of course as with all of our book lists, we had our favourites. My daughter picked and added her favourite to the […]
This month we had a massive influx of new books. Our February books may be the longest list of reads and reviews we’ve had in a long time. We’ve got picture books and chapter books and an amazing non-fiction book for kids. I love non-fiction books! I love watching my children’s minds being expanded as […]
I have seen little signs for Tiny Doors on the Northern Beaches for ages now. I had read a few posters but still had no idea what on earth it was. Until this past weekend when a librarian at Dee Why library took some time to explain it to us. We were handed a map, […]
Can you believe I’ve already started thinking about Christmas Presents for Kids? It felt like just yesterday that we were doing Halloween and the week before that was Easter. I really don’t know where this year has gone. I don’t recall having done a Christmas Presents for Kids Gift Guide last year I think it […]

We’ve got some great October Books that I’ve hidden in the cupboard from my kids, waiting for this month to roll around.
Our October books include Where’s Wally Double Trouble, Emma Yarlett’s Beast Feast and Sophie Dahl’s Madame Badobedah. We’ve also got a new author with a completely different style in The Corner of my Eye. It’s a strange choice for us, both story and illustration wise but there was something about it that drew me to it.
Here are Three Excellent books for kids, chosen by my kids. Each one is completely different and absolutely brilliant in its own right.
The Minbie Teats and Bottles are a completely revolutionary change to the teats and bottles we were using. And I’m still sure that back in the day those were the best that were available. If I’d had this choice now, I would not have gone with the bottles, teats and dummies that I did.
Every father’s day I make sure our gift to dad includes one or two Father’s Day Books. Books that celebrate him or the relationship between children and their dads. I’ve found 11 Father’s Day Books to choose between and I’m sharing them with you with plenty of time before Father’s Day should you think one […]
