|title=How the Meteorite Got to the Museum
|author=Jessie Hartland
|rating=4
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=This is a cumulative tale in which one small event sets off a chain of other events which are repeated throughout the story. If your child loves books like ''This is the House That Jack Built'', this may prove a very useful addition to you home library, but this is a type of story telling which I have found some children really take to, and others do not.

|title=Discover the Savage World
|summary='What If Humans Were More Like Animals' takes various unusual animal attributes and imagines what it would be like if humans had an equivalent behaviour, ability, or physical feature. For instance, if we had teeth like a shark, we wouldn't have to worry about eating too many sweets, brushing our teeth, or even chomping down on a hard object. Whenever a tooth fell out, a new one would take its place. If we had the comparative strength of a Hercules beetle, we could lift a double decker bus, and if we could jump the equivalent of a froghopper insect, we'd be able to leap over sky scrapers with ease. Not all of the animal traits would be so much fun though. We wouldn't want our parents to eat us if we were not as strong as our siblings like the vole, and while eyes on our hands like a starfish might have a few advantages, it would be very awkward as well - who wants to pick things up with their eyes?

|author=Alan Snow
|title=How Dinosaurs Really Work
|rating=4.5
|genre=Children's Non-Fiction
|summary=It’s sometimes difficult to find books which appeal to reluctant readers, particularly boys. Three cheers, then, for Alan Snow who has produced a really smashing book about those ever-popular dinosaurs. Here is a book which will appeal not only to bright kids during their inevitable dinosaur phase, and also to more struggling readers, a little later on. This is exactly the sort of book kids can pore over for several weeks on end in order to become something of an authority on prehistoric animals in front of their mates.
