I wasn't sure what this book was exactly going to be about, apart from a Sloth Who Came to Stay of course. I could only imagine that there would be an element of slow to the book, I did not expect there to be such strong and emotive message for adults. Although I am not a mamma it certainly illustrated to me how our busy, fast paced lives that we continue to fill, shape how we are as a family (not just those with children) and dictate our lives. It takes something, like the Sloth in this picture book, to make us stop and realise just what we are bypassing when we are speeding around. There is so much to see, appreciate and love when we are reminded to take our time.
Jake Atlas and the Tomb of the Emerald Snake
When I first started reading this book, I immediately thought Indiana Jones with a modern day twist. This fast paced adventure will engage your readers from ages 9 and above.

Throwback Thursday – Debbie Learns to Dance
With each of my Throwback Thursday books so far there have been fairly special memories attached to them and this one is no different.
Zebra On The Go
"Trumpets tooting, cannon shooting, Music playing, horses neighing, flags are flapping, children clapping". Fun! Fun! and more Fun!
I Don’t Know What To Call My Cat
I opened the package not knowing which book it might be, I felt like I was 8 years old again as I slowly slid the book out and discovered it was I Don't Know What To Call My Cat by Simon Philip and Illustrated by Ella Bailey.
Top Dogs
Top Dogs fun to read but is full of wonderful facts and information that could be used for school projects. I was surprised at just how little I knew about dogs in history so I hope that the content is also full of surprises for you!
Throwback Thursday – C.J Dennis
"Hey there! Hoop-la! the circus is in town! Have you seen..." I remember loving this poem in the book, it is titled The Circus.
