Babyliography CIII

Kate Nolan and Violeta Dabija, Santa and the Elves

2021/ Hardback / 10 pages / UK/Moldova

*

I hope they didn't have the cheek to release this separately from the jigsaw set, because it's hardly even added value there.


Unknown, Peppa Pig: The Official Annual 2023

2022 / Hardback / 64 pages / UK

***

Random episode adaptations, sticker book activities without the stickers and craft ideas, some of which may even be worth trying.


Unknown, My Little Pony Early Readers: Twilight Sparkle's Princess Spell / Rainbow Dash's Big Race

2016-17 / Paperbacks / 128 pages / UK

***

Simple bedtime novelisations at this point, but they'll be there as a possibly more appealing alternative to Ginn Reading 360 when she starts going solo.


Roger Hargreaves, Mr. Happy / Mr. Muddle

1971/76 / Library books / 64 pages / UK

****

A couple of classics, as far as these go. Mr Happy (in the Arthur Lowe version) was a pillar of my casually surreal childhood.


Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, Princess Mirror-Belle and the Dragon Pox

2014 / Library book / 32 pages / UK

***

A decent one-shot. I can't see the inevitable sequels having much to add, but maybe they'll surprise me.
