Jamie Smart, Looshkin: Honk If You See It!

2024 / Library book / 208 pages

****

Ahh, hyperactive, crazy kid humour. Long time no see. I advised against reading these deranged comics at bedtime, which predictably made her want them even more, and even more predictably struggle to sleep afterwards, impressionable young mind exploding with Looshkin. It made me laugh a few times too.


Unknown, Peppa Pig: Peppa the Zookeeper

2022 / Library book / 32 pages

**

This felt a lot longer than the ones she had at two, or I was just bored.


Dawn Isaac, 101 Things for Kids to Do on a Rainy Day

2015 / Library book / 224 pages

**

I didn't expect to find more than a couple of time fillers for the long Christmas holidays, but we made our own variations too. Their 'have a backwards day' suggestion is pathetically lightweight, involving no regurgitation or reverse bodily functions at all.


Jamie Smart, Looshkin: Oof! Right in the Puddings!

2023 / Library book / 208 pages

***

Off-puttingly crueller than the book we started on, or maybe I've had my fill of bonkers.


Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, What the Ladybird Heard at Christmas

2023 / Library book / 32 pages

***

This year's Christmas Eve book, which may have started as a Halloween book before someone missed a deadline.
