Winnie the Witch by Valerie Thomas and Korky Paul

Standard

We like this story! This is our first Winnie the Witch book, also the first in a series of 12. Did you know that this story was first published in 1987??? The one we got is the 25th anniversary edition,  published this year 2012. It comes with ‘Lots of FUN Stickers inside!’   LOVE the illustration style. It has a lot going on and that keeps little eyes glued to the page while being read to. A definite 5 stars from us!

Aliens Love Underpants by Claire Freedman & Ben Cort

Standard

Aliens Love Underpants…it’s ok. Funny Illustrations that kept my little 3 year old girl looking at each page while I read the text.  The text does not rhyme as well as some of the other children books we’ve read to our kids. For example:

“Their spaceship’s radar bleeps and blinks

The moment that it sees

A washing line of underpants,

All flapping in the breeze.”

….satsumas/bloomers….hide/slide….

Yea, the story is ok. Not disappointed and not overly exited about it.

Have decided to add a 5 star rating to our book review. And this one gets a 3 from us.
