Babyliography XXXV

Debi Gliori and Alison Brown, Little Owl's Bedtime

2020 / Library book / 32 pages / UK

This little guy always jumps out at her from the library shelves and she sat through the whole thing, so kudos to the artist. The story itself hit a bit close to home on Mummy's work night.


Maddox Philpot, Alice-May Bermingham, Kylie Hamley, Emily Bornoff and Lindsey Sagar, See, Touch, Feel ABC

2020 / Library book / 26 pages / UK

I was curious about the gimmick and we haven't practised for a while. The inconsistent hand and foot art and even less frequent tableware crafts at least gave us something to talk about.

21st-century Thomas has usurped Peppa as the current breakfast favourite. At least you can't hear him on the page, though I confess I caught myself doing the voice.


Unknown, Peppa Pig: Where's Peppa?

2021 / Library book / 10 pages / UK

It's Spot, not Wally, but the elements of misdirection and deduction justify the otherwise uninspired rip-off. Eric Hill should get royalties for all of these.


Sam Taplin and Federica Iossa, Usborne Sound Books: Night Sounds

2017 / Library book / 10 pages / UK/Italy

***

Less educational than the more exclusively nature-themed ones, but it'd still be nice to have the set. The library copy was selectively broken, we provided our own soundtrack.
