Need to get some birthday presents for my daughter (and all her friends) and would love some new book ideas. She is only now learning how to read (can sounds out simple words etc) but would like to get her some books that are enjoyable for me to read to her.


We have been reading How to train your Dragon, Pippi, Clarice Bean etc. She still likes looking at pictures but I think is bored of very simplistic repetitive stories.


Any ideas welcome

The Tiger That Came to Tea is a fab book- it is a picture book, but is written very well (by Judith Kerr). I've happily read it many a time!

As for chapter books mine really enjoyed The Faraway Tree- an adventure in every chapter! Is a bit old fashioned and maybe not the best written(?) but fun stories, and the chapters are short enough to keep a 5 year old interested.

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      By Spartacus · Posted

      I don't really care about political sleaze in this  i am more concerned about thjle ability to run.a country without running it into the ground. Currently, labout seem to be heading straight towards the rocks, ignoring the warning blasts from the economic ighthouse.

      Which is exactly why Rayner had to go - don't be the sleaze attack dog and then not keep your own house in order - the really shocking fact is she didn't go the moment this came to light because she knew what advice, and the advice to seek proper tax expertise that was given to her in writing by the very people she was trying to throw under the bus - she clearly thought she might be able to spin her way out of it. When you look at the facts, the advice she was given and when and her behaviour in the last few days it has been scandalous and just shows the contempt for the public intelligence some politicians have. Interesting to see a very unscientific vox pop on BBC News last night but a lot of her own constituents seem to want rid of her as well and to be honest if you have to lose your cabinet role for this breach of the rules then you should probably lose your seat too. That is the hypocrisy here and why a lot of people don't like politicians because they're all the same.

      Hi all, I’m after a stereo amp in working condition. Not necessarily anything fancy, as long as it works. Thanks

      You are missing my point, there are a few here who are rabidly anti Labour.  And have lost sight of the many scandals associated with their party.  I've not made excuses for Rayner, rather I am inferring that it is hypocritical to go on about one of the major parties whilst ignoring your own dirty washing.   You are not making sense.  I expect half the country likes a drink and a sizeable number likes a vape.  What is your point?
