Babyliography CCXXXIII

Stephanie Moss and Junissa Bianda, Bedtime Stories

2020 / Hardback / 48 pages

*

Her pick from a charity shop's free Christmas clearout, I insisted she wouldn't actually bother to read it, which motivated her to read the whole thing in one sitting. I know what I'm doing.


Heather Amery and Linda Edwards, The Usborne Children's Bible

2009 / Paperback / 144 pages

**

Most of the stories look terrible, but there are a few that are good to have in your general cultural awareness, and it was nice when she read to herself over Christmas.


Paul Mason and Tony De Saulles, The Wee That Animals Pee

2020 / Paperback / 32 pages

***

Like some questionably themed QI compilation.


Naoko Takeuchi, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: Eternal Edition, Vol. 1

1991-92 (2018 edition) / Paperback / 304 pages

****

We skipped the early reader episode adaptations and went straight to the source manga, authentic reverse printing and all. She doesn't even mind that they're not coloured in, and not having to sit through the same animated transformation sequence every issue saves time.


Naoko Takeuchi, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: Eternal Edition, Vol. 2

1992-93 (2018 edition) / Paperback / 352 pages

****

I thought these two might last her a while, but she's not satisfied by just the one chapter per day, and it's not like we can pause just as her favourite character shows up, so I had to extend the Christmas present to the whole set. That doesn't happen with dolls.
