Happy Sunday to you all, and on Day 11 I bring to you the fabulous Usborne Books.
I just love their books and recently reviewed their beautiful Advent Calendar to colour and we are constantly expanding out collection at Birthdays and Christmas time. I am very lucky because all three of mine have been drawn to books and love story time but then I am a real book-worm too.
Today Usborne are offering their Brilliant book 50 things to make and do.
- 50 spiral-bound cards with great projects to make during the festive season.
- Activities include angel paperchains, a Christmas collage, sparkling tree decorations, a snow fairy Christmas card and tissue paper giftwrap.Each card shows a photograph of the finished project, a list of materials and clear step-by-step instructions.
- The spiral binding makes the cards easy to use with no fear of losing favourite cards!

Merry Christmas and Good Luck.

At the moment little Grace’s favourite bedtime book is Silly Barney
Both boys LOVE books but their favorite at the moment is Pirate Pete’s Potty Book which we read every night.
Had a few problems entering hence the multiple entries on the raffle form. Sorry about that
The Gruffalo
Squeaky has dozens of favourite books, depending on her mood (and mine!), but at the moment, she’s favouring “One Two, Buckle My Shoe” which we got from the library. Counting is apparently very exciting.
My DD’s favourite is Poppy Cat’s Happy Day. She loves all the different flaps!
Usually Daddy’s made up stories, and no doubt after this weekend it will be ‘the Butlins story’

Isaac’s favourite is The Gruffalo, so much so he knows all the words!!
Any maisie mouse or peppa pig stories
My little man loves Peepo by Janet and Alan Ahlberg. We love to spot all the different things going on in the background of the lovely illustrations. When we get to the end of the book and the little baby is tucked up in bed and dreaming, that’s when little man decides he will go to sleep too! :o)
My son seems to be keen on his school reading books which is good! oxford reading tree adventures…
The Gruffalo is in favour at the moment
The fave at the moment is Chicken Licken!!
We are currently reading Usborne’s touch and feel Nativity book and I expect that this will continue until Christmas Day! Joy! 😉 Great competition! x

Goldilocks and the 3 bears. I wonder how he doesn’t have nightmares lol
My daughter favorite bedtime story is Sharing a Shell by Julia Donaldson she wants me to read it at least twice a night just now. It’s a lovely colourful book by the writer of The Gruffalo.
This week he has been really into an old Shirley Hughes book called Alfie Gets in First – its about a little boy who shuts his Mum out of the house. Am hoping he doesn’t try to copy it at home!
I’m reading her a book called Lustige Tiergeschichten by Vladimir Sutejew – it was my favourite when I was a child and it’s just adorable…
The Gruffalo, like so many others! He especially likes my crazy voices for all the animals. The fox in our book is from Liverpool, whereas the Snake is Australian! Who knew?
At the moment the favourite in our house is “The Gruffalo’s Child”
I love reading (and the children love hearing) The snail and the whale by Julia Donaldson. The gentle rhymes are perfect for bed time and we love it.
My daughter is currently 15 months old and loves books and about animals, so at bedtime i let her choose a book and we lay down together whilst looking at the pictures. Best time for bonding and cuddles
Ours isnt so much of a story but a book of 101 nursery rhymes
We love 10 in the bed, as we read it, all five of us, on our big bed!
Barry the fish with fingers
