Santa Claude, by Alex T Smith
Published by: Hodder Children’s Books.
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.
If you’re looking for something that’s truly
memorbale, then give an experience to treasure
at the Vale Resort this Christmas. Sit back, relax
and enjoy some stress free Christmas shopping
from the comfort of your very own armchair.
Nixie: Wonky Winter 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.
