ISBN: 1444926497 Reviewed by Ellen, aged 8 from North Yorkshire: One night Claude the dog’s owners go out and he thinks he hears a burglar. He ties the burglar up but then he discovers the burglar is actually Santa Claus! Claude has to deliver all the presents but can he get home before his owners come back home? I liked this book because it is a very funny story and the author has used a lot of imagination. Prince George and the Royal Potty, by Caryl Hart Published by: Orchard Books. ISBN: 1408339714 Reviewed by Ethan, aged 4 from Cardiff: This book is about a little Prince who wants to do grown up things. George wants to be a knight but his armour won’t fit over his nappy! George wants to go marching but his nappy gets full of poop and he starts to smell really bad! So George has to potty train just like my brother Harrison is doing at the moment. It isn’t long before George can use the potty. When George has a wee on the potty he gets really really happy! I really liked this book, it is funny and my brother Harrison likes it too. Nixie: Wonky <strong>Winter</strong> Wonderland, by Cas Lester Published by: OUP Oxford. ISBN: 0192743236 Reviewed by Willow, aged 7 from Cornwall: This book is about a girl called Nixie who is a fairy. It has lots of lovely pictures, which helped me to see what was happening. The chapters all have clocks on them, this helped me learn telling the time. The writing is nice, I liked all the different fonts. There is another book about Nixie that I hope to read too. I think my sister would like this book as well as children who love cheeky fairies. Animal Magic Board Book, by Phil Allcock Published by: Maverick Arts Publishing. ISBN: 1848862326 Reviewed by mum of Aurora, aged 2 from Oxfordshire: This magical nonsense rhyme board book is absolutely brilliant. Aurora loves it! Is it a hedgehog, a toad or a worm? Highly recommended! The Awesome Body Book, by Adam Frost Published by: Bloomsbury Childrens. ISBN: 1408862352 Reviewed by James, aged 8 from Cardiff: So... it went like this... our topic in school was ‘the body’ and then this book arrived so I took it into school thinking my teacher would be impressed with me. I based this theory on the title of it, rather than having read any of it. My teacher looked inside and shrieked with horror, as she had opened it on the ‘how to make a poo’ page!! Good information and fab pics about the body, but don’t give it to anybody over 40 to read as they are all a bit silly about poo/wee/bums, etc. 14 Primary Times WINTER ISSUE www.primarytimes.net/fife
