Babyliography XXXIII

Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, Tales from Acorn Wood: Postman Bear

2000 / Library book / 20 pages / UK/Germany

***

Healthy competition for Pat that nicely incorporates elements of subtraction and deduction.


Lauren Holowaty, Peppa Pig: I Love You, Mummy Pig

2018 / Library book / 32 pages / UK

**

Secretly communicate your affection for Peppa-reading parents in your life. The library has the Daddy Pig one too, but she always likes to start off her jigsaws with Mummy Pig. That's fine, I'm not bothered.


Quentin Blake, Roald Dahl: The Enormous Crocodile Finger Puppet Book

2020 / Library book / 14 pages / UK

**

The character's a more natural fit for this gimmick than most, though don't expect a comfortable fit yourself without some degree of arachnodactyly. The ending's fun for kids, the rest is just superficial references for impatient fans.


Amanda Li, Pirate Pete and Princess Polly: Please and Thank You

2013 / Library book / 12 pages / UK

**

Inconsistent manners instructional. The button was broken, but we knew the drill.


Fiona Watt and Stella Baggott, Baby's Very First Truck Book

2018 / Library book / 8 pages / UK

There's not much to it. Get them a toy with wheels.
