{{topten
|author=Ed Vere
|title=Chick
|rating=5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Here at Bookbag we love [[:Category:Ed Vere|Ed Vere]]. Forget all about pretty books with tepid stories for the younger child and let yourself be taken into a world where the colours are all robust and sometimes shout at each other. Forget about too many words and expect there to be few but for every one to speak volumes. Forget about sighing when a book has to be read again and again - because adults love Ed Vere books just as much as the children. This pop-up book comes highly recommended by every child who has seen it.

{{topten
|author=Emily Gravett
|title=The Odd Egg
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=One of our [[Top Ten Picture Books of 2008]], this is a book to keep and treasure. Every bird has an egg except duck - until he finds the biggest one of them all. The Odd Egg is a beautifully-illustrated visual joke which will entertain adults and children alike. Definitely recommended.

{{topten
|author=Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld
|title=Duck! Rabbit!
|rating=5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Is it a duck? Is it a rabbit? Is it Superman? (No, it's either a duck or a rabbit). A fun and quirky picture book that introduces children to a gentle optical illusion. Highly recommended.
|amazonuk=<amazonuk>0811868656</amazonuk>
}}

{{topten
|author=Brian Wildsmith
|title=Favourite Nursery Rhymes
|rating=5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Over eighty of the best nursery rhymes presented in a glorious compendium, with delightful illustrations to pore over. Every young child should have this book.
|amazonuk=<amazonuk>0192727664</amazonuk>
}}

{{topten
|author=Deborah Ellis
|title=Beyond the Barricade
|rating=4.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=An excellent issue-based novel about the plight of coca growers in South America. A crisp, no-nonsense prose style makes its theme central, but the central character is also tremendously well-drawn. Recommended.
|amazonuk=<amazonuk>019272763X</amazonuk>
}}

{{topten
|author=Neil Gaiman
|title=Coraline
|rating=5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=An utter tour de force. This scary Alice in Wonderland style novella has surrealism in spades, a perfect ear, a wonderful central character, plenty of shivers, and a detail to pore over again and again.
|amazonuk=<amazonuk>0747597308</amazonuk>
}}

{{topten
|author=Pseudonymous Bosch
|title=If You're Reading This, It's Too Late
|rating=4.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=A good, fun adventure romp for 10s and up, with a great styling only adding to the intrigue and mystery created by some evil villains and a lovely pair of heroes. If you're looking to buy two books the [[The Name of this Book is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch|first]] also cam highly recommended.
|amazonuk=<amazonuk>0746097409</amazonuk>
}}

{{topten
|author=Derek Landy
|title=Skulduggery Pleasant: The Faceless Ones
|rating=4.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=More wise-cracking high jinks from the skeleton detective and his newly-magical sidekick. Things are beginning to darken in this series, as Stephanie/Valkyrie begins to fully understand the tensions between her two lives.
|amazonuk=<amazonuk>0007302142</amazonuk>
}}

{{topten
|author= Tim Bowler
|title= Blade: Playing Dead
|rating=4.5
|genre=Teens
|summary=A book for the older confident reader and teenagers. A short, sharp thriller with a cliff-hanger ending. Cliff-hangers usually irritate Bookbag, but in this case it works exceedingly well. Pacy and tense and frighteningly credible, this is good stuff. If you want to buy more than one book this is the first in an excellent series.
|amazonuk=<amazonuk>019275484X</amazonuk>
}}

{{topten
|author=Katy Moran
|title=Bloodline Rising
|rating=5
|genre=Teens
|summary=Beautifully-realised second book in the Bloodline series. 7th century life is vividly described and the supernatural elements are kept subtle. Highly, highly recommended. If you're looking to buy more than one book, the [[Bloodline by Katy Moran|first]] in the series also came highly recommended.
