Babyliography LXVI

Bobbi JG Weiss and Colleen Doran, Disney's Beauty and the Beast: The Official Movie Adaptation

1991 / Ecomic / 48 pages / USA

**

Tony Ross, I Want TWO Birthdays

2008 / Library book / 32 pages / UK

**

The royal theme is relevant for a change, but I'm none the wiser about the reasoning.


Unknown, Thomas & Friends: My First Thomas Railway Stories

2016 / Library book / 24 pages / UK

**

Pippa Goodhart and Nick Sharratt, Just Imagine (a.k.a. You Choose Your Dreams)

2012 / Library book / 32 pages / UK

**

Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, Sugarlump and the Unicorn

2013 / Library book / 32 pages / UK

****
