	CUDDLE BEAR by Claire Freedman and Gavin Scott “I couldn’t resist going ‘Aaaaaah’ when I saw the cute creatures on the cover of this book - and I wasn’t disappointed when I looked inside. This really is an ideal story to read aloud while you cuddle up with your little one at bedtime. Cuddle Bear is there for everyone who needs a hug and some love. I enjoyed the gentle humour in the illustrations too - Cuddle Bear complete with cycling helmet is a lovely image! A good book to have to hand for those little ‘upset’ moments.” – Parents in Touch, January 2012

	SUPER-DUPER DUDLEY! by Sue Mongredien and Caroline Pedler “Dudley Dog is just a bit of a show-off really - he can ride his bike without his paws on the handlebars and dive into the pool. But Bonzo has a talent that threatens to outshine Dudley... so Dudley decides to put on a show - but bites off more than he can chew. It’s Bonzo to the rescue and the two friends show that there is room for us all to have talents and benefit from working together. A bright and colourful book with a meaningful message that brings lots of fun on the way.” – Parents in Touch, January 2012

	ONE CHRISTMAS NIGHT by M Christina Butler and Tina Macnaughton “This is the story of a little hedgehog who is more than a little disorganised. It’s almost Christmas and he’s forgotten to decorate his house or buy any presents for his friends. So with the help of his friends he goes into the cold night air to put things right. What a wonderful glittery result.” – Lovereading4Kids, September 2011
“Although this is not a religious Christmas Story, it has a Christmas theme, and its pages are covered with festive sparkle, which April (aged one) loved. Little Hedgehog is preparing for Christmas Day by making mince pies and Christmas cakes. But, he says, “My house isn’t Christmassy.” He is given holly and pine cones, and he sticks glitter on them “until nuts and acorns twinkled like stars”. Then Badger, rabbit, and the mice walk in. “That’s what was missing - all of my friends!” he realises. “Happy Christmas, everyone!” Raphael and April both learnt that you don’t have to spend a great deal of money to enjoy Christmas.” – Church Times Christmas supplement, December 2011
	WHEN WILL IT SNOW? by Kathryn White and Alison Edgson “Like many little ones, this bear cub doesn’t want to go to bed, especially when Mother explains bed means sleeping the whole winter! Full of mischief, he escapes to play in the autumn winds with friends, mole and squirrel. These two try to explain snow, to describe what fun it is, throwing snowballs, making angel wings. But little bear knows he must heed his Mothers’ call, and reluctantly returns to their cave. He needs reassurance that his friends won’t forget him over the winter, and this comes clearly from Mother. “True friends are always there for you when you wake…” And come Spring, they are! A gentle, comforting book depicting well the loving relationship between mother and cub, with the colour palette expressing a glowing, autumnal warmth throughout.” – BFK, November 2011

	DILLY DUCKLING by Claire Freedman and Jane Chapman “Dilly Duckling is the simple tale of a ditsy duckling who wanders from the rest of the brood to catch her downy feather, which has been caught in the wind. On her chase she is helped by other young creatures, but the errant feather keeps going. Trust mum to banish Dilly's worries. A gentle tale that illustrates the changes from babyhood to lively toddler.” – The Irish Examiner, October 2011

	IRIS AND ISAAC by Catherine Rayner “Prize-winning illustrator Catherine Rayner has produced a new outstanding title. Polar bears Iris and Isaac fall out over sharing their nest. Each stomps away in a Big Bear Huff but soon both find that they don’t enjoy anything half as much on their own. Luckily, they are reunited and find they can share the nest after all. Set against a stunning winter landscape, this is a perfect book about friendship.”– Lovereading4Kids, September 2011
