Babyliography CXXIII

Martin Handford, Where's Wally?

1987 (revised reprint) / Paperback / 36 pages / UK

****

It may be nothing special today in a sea of sequels and rip-offs, but it held her attention more than most of those, even the unicorn one.


Natalie Marshall, 123 Bumblebee

2019 / Library book / 10 pages / Australia

After pretending to read a Pony chapter book she's too young for, she likes to unwind with a 3D baby book.


Anna Milbourne, Rosie Dickens and John Joven, How the Elephant Got His Trunk / How the Whale Got His Throat / How the Rhino Got His Skin

2015-16 / Library books / 96 pages / UK

**

I felt these required more of a disclaimer than her usual fantasy reading. At least they have samey puzzles at the end.


Eoin Colfer and Chris Judge, Cloud Babies

2022 / Library book / 40 pages / Ireland

**

Unexpectedly heavy and specific.


Anoosha Syed, That's Not My Name!

2022 / Library book / 32 pages / Canada

Her own grief will be more in the spelling department. Sorry, it made sense at the time.
