But he's a bad magician's cat, so his favourite bun has been turned into a hyperactive sticky rabbit called Bun, and the catflap they both use can chuck them out, not into the regular back garden, but into a world of frightening adventure and whiffs. This time round it drops them into a Viking land, where a troll hunter is expected – well, one much bigger than Murray was, to be honest, but he's turned up and he'll have to do…

And that's what has happened to Elmer and his friends – all over the jungle, folk are humming the same tune, over and over and over again, and passing it on to their friends and neighbours like a musical virus.

Dr Seuss The Christmas Doll (fun fact: 'Seuss' originally rhymed with 'voice') wrote many, many books in his lifetime, and lots of us will be familiar with his best-known characters such as [[The Cat in the Hat by Dr Seuss|The Cat in the Hat]] and the copious numbers of adventures he wrote about such as when [[Horton Hears a Who by Dr Seuss|Horton Hears a Who]]. This book is different, because rather than introducing new wild and wacky characters, it brings together existing ones who may never have met each other before. Adapted by Tish Rabe (though very much influenced by Dr Seuss's originalsRepair Shop Stories), this book rattles through the different titles and their key characters, knitting them together with the premise that these are all people baby will meet in the future, through the wonder of children's books.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>0008241651</amazonuk>}}{{newreview|author= Rachel Bright Amy Sparkes and Jim Field|title= The Squirrels Who SquabbledKatie Hickey|rating= 5|genre= For Sharing|summary=First we had a cute little mouse finding his inner beast in [[The Lion Inside by Rachel Bright and Jim Field|The Lion Inside]] and then we had a nervous koala trying to move out of his comfort zone in [[The Koala Who Could by Rachel Bright and Jim Field|The Koala Who Could]] and now we have a couple of greedy, fighting squirrels.

It's the tale of a character that seems to be so often overlooked in the well-known story: Dorothy's faithful dog, Toto. We hear the whole story from his point of view, told in first person narrative from the moment the tornado sweeps across Dorothy's Kansas farm. Toto continues to tell the story as it happens to him in a witty and charming manner as their house is lifted into the air and whisked away to the mysterious land of Oz. Of course, Toto and Dorothy meet the absurd but loveable scarecrow without a brain, tin man without a heart and lion who lacks courage, and together they set off along the yellow brick road to find the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, hoping that he might help Toto and Dorothy return home. Along the way, the tin man, scarecrow and lion learn that what they think they are missing might have been there all along. |amazonuk=<amazonuk>0008134596</amazonuk>}}{{newreview|author=J M Barrie and Robert Ingpen|title=Peter Pan and Wendy|rating=4

As a kid, I remember being chased round the garden by my mother, brandishing a hair brush and trying to get me to sit still and have my frizz sorted out. To say I identified with Florence would be an understatement. As the tale goes on, though, we see another side to the story.

So, after several disasters, Wally decides he'd be better off leaving Clumpety at home and using his tractor instead.
