Babyliography CXIX

Rose Robbins, Talking Is Not My Thing

2020 / Library book / 32 pages / UK

**

A nice introduction to speech difficulties that she could relate to her own nurserymates, so it's a shame I primarily rate these on entertainment value.


Various, Usborne Illustrated Stories for Children

2009 / Paperback / 512 pages / UK

****

I couldn't resist the budget quantity. We've found at least a few worth reading.


David McKee, Elmer

1968 (revised 1989) / Preschool book / 32 pages / UK

***

An iconic standalone story of individuality and diversity, inevitably stretched to diminishing returns. 


Becky Davies and Jennica Lounsbury, Balloon to the Moon

2022 / Library book / 32 pages / UK/Canada

**

This pretty picture book spectacularly failed as a soothing bedtime story as she talked over the top to make it less boring.


Jane McGuinness, Say Hi to Hedgehogs!

2018 / Preschool book / 32 pages / UK

***

Genuinely informative, I don't know whether it's a coincidence that she just started playing Sonic games.
