	READY STEADY READ: THE WISH CAT by Ragnhild Scamell & Gaby Hansen “A pleasant tale, simply told, with warm and friendly illustrations.” – School Librarian, October 2008

	THE MONKEY WITH A BRIGHT BLUE BOTTOM by Steve Smallman & Nick Schon “A rhyming tale including a monkey, a paint-box and some bare-faced cheek is a delightful romp…” – School Librarian, October 2008
“Visually striking… It will make you laugh out loud.” – Early Years Educator, September 2008
	THE VERY FUNNY FISH illustrated by Jack Tickle “The paper engineering is splendid: adventurous without being too fragile… Young children will also get a sense of how the creatures move and they will see that there is an enormous variety in the world deep below the ocean's surface.” – Books for Keeps, September 2008

	READY STEADY READ: MEGGIE MOON by Elizabeth Baguley & Gregoire Mabire “Definitely worth having at home for anyone wishing to supplement what is done at school.” – Books for Keeps, September 2008

	OODLES OF NOODLES by Diana Hendry & Sarah Massini “I laughed out loud at this crazy picture story… Quirky pictures and design all add to the fun.” – Northern Echo, September 2008
“With dancing typography and zany illustrations, this frenetic tale of mayhem has a happy ending…” – Junior, September 2008 “My class loved the deranged expressions of the robot-like machine, and the sense of urgency as the noodles began to take over every page. The food in the story is all made up from real photographs and the text itself creates interest as the key words are in appropriate fonts or shaped to help with word identification.” – Child Education, September 2008
	SMELLY PETER, THE GREAT PEA EATER by Steve Smallman & Joelle Dreidemy “Would delight any young child.” – Writing Magazine, August 2008

	POOH! IS THAT YOU, BERTIE? by David Roberts “Beautifully illustrated.” – Writing Magazine, August 2008

	HARRIS FINDS HIS FEET by Catherine Rayner “A second book from a very promising newcomer. An appealing hare on the front cover definitely has very big feet but Grandad Hare explains why. In a series of fluid, elegant pictures, Young Harris finds out how to make the most of his lovely big feet. A gentle story in pleasing colours, strongly designed, with just enough menace in the shadow of the wolf cast across the page.” – Carousel, June 2008
“That Beatrix Potter came into my mind when I was thinking about Catherine Rayner's illustrations is not as surprising as I first thought it was - for Rayner, like Potter, draws her animals from life - and it shows. The image of Harris on the front cover of this, her second picture book, is striking not just for her confident use of the page (Harris at the left hand side leaving lots of space to suggest his vulnerability) but for her use of colour wash and tentative line to express his physical reality. This is a living, breathing, gangly creature with very large feet - a real hare . . . Rayner's effortless command of technique (line, texture, light and shade) powerfully conveys the vitality of her characters in this touching story of their loving relationship.” – Books for Keeps, July 2008

	SILLY GOOSE by Marni McGee & Alison Edgson “A rather naive Goose is lured by a fox into his den, believing him when he proclaims that he can provide her with a pair of ears to enable her to hear. This is an original take on a traditional story where right overcomes wrong. Along the way Goose visits several animals in her quest for ears, but none are willing to give her theirs. Fortunately the animals are all wiser than Goose and unite to save her from Fox's cunning plan.” – Carousel, June 2008

	THE VERY TICKLISH TIGER illustrated by Jack Tickle “Turn each page in this Peek-a-boo pop-up book and discover the jungle animals ready to leap out at you! Through playful rhymes, babies will learn the names of exotic creatures and the sounds they make. Skilfully designed, this interactive book provides hours of pleasure for both reader and child.” – Carousel, June 2008

	ALL THINGS BRIGHT & BEAUTIFUL illustrated by Helen Lanzrein "It's never too early to share books and a few quiet moments at the end of a busy day are vital… These thoughtful verses and simple prayers may help babies to develop an ear for language, as well as soothing and preparing them for sleep. A gentle palette and soft brushstrokes bring them to life for a little one snuggled up close or relaxing on a lap." - Carousel, June 2008

	FIVE CHIRPY BIRDS by Susie Brooks & Debbie Tarbett “All toddlers love to make noise, and these five birds tempt young children to engage as well. The rhyming narrative and bright distinctive images are presented in a fun board book with die-cut pages and a special sound-chip button which keeps both reader and child entertained.” – Carousel, June 2008

	FUN ON THE FARM by Ana Martín-Lãrranaga “In an original way to complete a picture, this split page book encourages young children to match colours and shapes. Snuggle up and share the rhymes on each page as you fit the two pictures together. This is exciting and stimulating, and there are other titles in the series.” – Carousel, June 2008
