Here are some books we have been enjoying recently;<\/p>\n

Spyder by Matr Carr<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSpyder is the perfect fun-size adventure.<\/p>\n

When the worlds smallest secret agent is given a special mission she has to use all her smarts to save the day. The bright illustrations instantly attracted the children as did seeing the world from Spyder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s point of view.<\/p>\n

 \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

With its punchy humour, sweet story & a sprinkle of spider facts this was a treat of a read.<\/p>\n

Pirates of Scurvy Sands by Johnny Duddle<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMatilda & the Jolley-Rogers are back in this swashbuckling sequel to \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcThe Pirates Next Door\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and this time its Matilda\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s turn to feel out of place. This mirrors the first story offering a sense of familiarity as you spot the many references to the original. <\/p>\n

The children are huge fans of Jim & Matilda & quickly devoured this book. They especially enjoyed the reversal of roles like the pirates being shocked at Matilda good table manners.<\/p>\n

A rollicking rhyming riotous pirate adventure with plenty of detail to spot, this helps make the constant re-reads always feel fresh.<\/p>\n

The Knight Who Said \u00e2\u20ac\u0153NO!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d by Lucy Rowland & Kate Hindley<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThis is another brilliant rhyming story of a young knight Ned who always says Yes until the day he gets cross & decides to say No.<\/p>\n

The kids thought both Ned & the dragon looked polar opposites but were actually very similar & just in need of a friend. The story also touches upon the message that everyone can get cross sometimes & thats ok, who hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t felt \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcall hot inside and cross from top to toe\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The books is also wonderfully illustrated & the kids were especially keen on the parents who they thought were ginormous.<\/p>\n
