Babyliography XXXIV

Unknown, Peppa Pig: Peppa Goes Boating and Other Stories

Collected 2016 / Hardback / 144 pages / UK

**

Another biennial supplement to relieve some of the tedium of reading the same exciting adventures every day. The total lack of consistency in the shape and size of these collections can only be a deliberate measure to help prevent compulsive tendencies in later life.


Fiona Byrne, Robyn Newton, Kate Ward and Martina Hogan, Follow Me: Finger Mazes

2016 / Board book / 16 pages / UK

****

She doesn't really get the mazes yet, but the wildlife Where's Wally entertains her in the meantime.


Unknown, Thomas & Friends: Noisy Thomas Sound Book

2019 / Library book / 10 pages / UK

*

No effort to incorporate the single sound into the plot. The library copy's dying battery added an eerie v a p o r w a v e atmosphere.


Unknown, Mr Men: Hide-and-Seek in the Garden – A Lift-and-Find Book

2019 / Library book / 20 pages / UK

***

Incorporates detection and counting to make use of the space, which was more than I expected.


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

2019 / Library book / 32 pages / UK

**

More fun than the Mummy Pig equivalent. Only a few more years of this, I'll be fine.
