Babyliography LXXVII

Sorrel Pitts, Ladybird Readers: Peppa Pig – In a Plane / My Little Pony – Pinkie's Pies

2018-21 / Library book / 112 pages / UK

**

I thought I'd struck a limited vein of gold when I spotted these easy-reading TV tie-ins with engaging quizzes at the back, but the plots lose something in the simplification, being fairly light in the first place, and inexplicably Americanized.


Marie-Anne Didierjean, Read It Yourself with Ladybird: The Princess and the Pea

2013 / Library book / 32 pages / France

**

Slightly more substantial than a flap book, but not a substitute for your treasury. The quiz section doesn't look especially challenging for kids who can already read it themselves.


Unknown, Wipe-clean Vehicle Activities

2022 / Activity book / 24 pages / UK

**

I think this is the last one of the set. She was more excited about completing the collection than doing the typically repetitive activities, which this time involved lots of drawing things so they didn't have to.


Various, First Time Learning: Early Maths

2019 / Activity book / 32 pages / UK

***

She did well, but was noticeably more engaged with the reading and writing ones. Chip off the old block!


Steve Metzger and Miki Sakamoto, We're Going on a Leaf Hunt

2008 / Ebook / 32 pages / USA/Japan

**

Bear Hunt turns out to be more public domain than I thought. It was an autumn book.
