Babyliography CCXLIX

Clare Helen Welsh and Sarah DeMonteverde, Collins Big Cat Phonics for Letters and Sounds: Oodles of Noodles

2020 / School book / 24 pages

**

I liked how they couldn't be bothered to end the story, so used those pages for a recipe instead.


Ann M. Martin and Gale Galligan, The Baby-Sitters Club: Dawn and the Impossible Three

2017 / Paperback / 150 pages

***

The new artist-adapter had a tough act to follow, but thanks to her imitably expressive faces, Gale Galligan is the young reader's favourite.


Unknown, Mad About Gymnastics

2015 / Library book / 32 pages

**

Only a little more helpful than the last one, we'll stick with YouTube tutorials.


Various, Usborne Art Ideas: Drawing Faces

2002 / Library book / 64 pages

***

Unfortunately too "scary" to give much of a go.


Dan Abdo and Jason Patterson, Blue, Barry & Pancakes: Escape from Balloonia

2025 / Library book / 128 pages

**

The latest quick-reading, interchangeable kids' comic team, but not one of her favourites.
