Two awesome new books from Camilla De La Bedoyere, Emma Levey and Richard Watson offer the chance for a globetrotting adventure on land and under the sea!

If you love puzzles, animals and adventures then two new titles published by Miles Kelly Publishing should definitely tick all the right boxes for you.

Both are available in the "Super Search Adventure" range, and are chock-full of brilliant observational puzzles, facts and figures so you can really get under the skin of all the animal species we share our wonderful planet with.

First, "Where is the Bear?" takes a trip on land with Suki the rabbit. She needs your help as she's on a mission to deliver a present to a bear named Ping (great name!)

Who is this mysterious bear? Where is he? This brilliantly creative story takes children on a round-the-world adventure packed with intriguing information, memorable animal characters, rhyming riddles and fun activities.

Emma Levey's beautiful, bright illustrations will keep children enthralled with inventive details to spot everywhere.

An additional wow-factor is provided by the foldout cover flaps, which create a panoramic artwork scene and reveal clever spaces for readers to chart their progress through the story.

"Where is the Bear?" by Camilla De La Bedoyere and Emma Levey is out now from Miles Kelly Publishing.

The second book in the "Super Search Adventure" series takes us under the sea...!

"On the Trail of the Whale" by Camilla, and illustrated by Richard Watson this time, once again whisks us off on a grand journey packed with activities and puzzles.

This time, Otto the octopus needs our help - his best friend Hula the humpback whale is nowhere to be found! Where on earth can you hide a whale?

This brilliantly creative story takes children on an adventure through the oceans packed with intriguing information, memorable animal characters, rhyming riddles and fun activities.

Richard Watson's beautiful, bright illustrations will keep children enthralled with inventive details to spot everywhere. Once again awesome fun is provided by the foldout cover flaps, creating awesome panoramas packed with facts and figures for busy little minds.

A perfect pair of brilliant children's storybook activity packs. Princesses and Dinosaurs from Miles Kelly Publishing

We've been taking a look at the new "Read and Play" range from Miles Kelly Publishing.

During the long summer holidays, you'll usually run out of things to do in about 2 days flat (well, if you're like us!) Sometimes the weather really puts the kybosh on your plans too, so if you've got something that can keep kids busy for a couple of hours, it's a godsend.

"Read and Play: Princess" and "Read and Play: Dinosaurs" have just arrived from Miles Kelly Publishing to save the day (and your parental sanity) with two awesome storybook and activity boxes for the utterly reasonable price of £10 each.

Each pack comes with:

  • An awesome story book
  • A puzzle book
  • A jigsaw
  • A fold-out play scene
  • Pop-out characters and models
  • Board games
So there's plenty there to keep your little ones occupied...

Can you find the ten differences? You'll need a sharp pair of eyes!
These are perfect for younger children who will find lots to do in each box. The puzzle books are particularly good, as they're also packed with completely cheesy jokes that you kids can try out on you, as well as things to colour and draw. Presentation is really great all through the packs with lots of fun and colourful illustrations to wow your little ones.

"Read and Play: Dinosaur" is also brilliant (in fact this was actually Charlotte's favourite of the two). Again you'll get a story book, puzzle and colouring book, jigsaw, play scene, loads of dinosaur models and board games to play. 

The packs are nice and sturdy and Miles Kelly are offering free postage on selected items if you order through their website

Check 'em out, both are available now from Miles Kelly Publishing.

Celebrating Thursday's World Book Day with a review of "Poems for Children" (Miles Kelly Publishing)


Poems for Children

Edited by Belinda Gallagher

Published by Miles Kelly Publishing

What better way to celebrate World Book Day than with a fantastic collection of poems for children, a big thick weighty book - just how we like our poetry collections!

To celebrate World Book Day a little early, we entered into a rather mysterious event with other bloggers, each choosing a book for a mystery blogger recipient. Someone obviously knows us very well because they chose "Poems for Children" for us. A huge collection of tons of our favourite poems, covering many different subjects.

Classic authors are very well represented in this book, everyone from Edward Lear to Rudyard Kipling, from Lewis Carroll to Kate Greenaway. There truly is something for everyone in here.

Nice to see a lovely colourful cover from one of our twit-mates, Mark Chambers too!

You can grab your very own copy of this wonderful collection from the Miles Kelly Website.

Happy World Book Day for Thursday everyone!

Charlotte's favourite Poem: "The Cats have Come to Tea" by Kate Greenaway

Daddy's Favourite Poem: Edward Lear's wonderful "There was an old man"
