|title=Time Atlas: An Interactive Timeline of History
|rating=3.5
|genre=Children's Non-Fiction
|summary=While it's always useful for a child to have access to an atlas, so they know where they are and what there is in every other location, it's equally important that they know ''when'' they are, and what has happened at any other place in time. That's the ethos behind this ''Time Atlas'', which only has a few spreads, but takes us right back to prehistory, through the birth of civilisation, and up to today – as well as asking a few questions of what might happen in the future. It is, after all, vital we know not only where we are, but where we may be going…

|summary=The [[In Focus: 101 Close Ups, Cross-Sections and Cutaways by Libby Walden|first book in this series]] promised 101 close-ups, cross sections and/or cutways, but here we're restricted to just ten. Why? Because the subject matters are so much bigger – one is home to 37 million people, of all things. Yes, we're talking cities, and while this book tries to follow the previous – different artist every page, an exclusive inside look within the volume, and a self-deceiving page count – we are definitely in new territory. We're seeking the trivial, the geographical and the cultural, all so that the inquisitive young student can find out the variety to be had in the world's metropolises.

|title=Dragon Rider
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=My daughter first read ''Dragon Rider'' when she discovered it in her school library aged about 8. She loved it, so much so that she borrowed it over and over, reading and re-reading it, her head full of dragons. I finally sat down to give it a read myself, excited at the prospect of a good fantasy story. Firedrake is the one, brave dragon from a small dragon community who, when faced with the incoming humans who will destroy their home, decides to go out into the world to try to find the Rim of Heaven, a hidden home for the dragons. There's a far-ranging, adventurous journey, and there are fantasy creatures galore, such as Firedrake's brownie friend, Sorrel, a djinn, a basilisk, a sea serpent and the big baddie, Nettlebrand.
