Moonlight Tales
Written by Various
Illustrated by Alison Edgson
Published by Little Tiger Press
A fabulous lineup of authors, some sumptuous illustrations by Alison Edgson, and a wondrous collection of stories that are absolutely perfect as the temperatures plummet and you need something snuggly and warm to cuddle up with before bedtime.
"Moonlight Tales" gathers together talented folk like Penny Dolan, Holly Webb and Michael Broad to tell a collection of short but wonderfully sweet tales featuring children's favourite animals as they all prepare for winter.
The beauty of anthologies is that for early readers, or children who are just moving on from picture books to chapter books, you can read a story or two each night before bed and slowly work through this wonderful book.
If you're looking for something wintry and wonderful to stick in a stocking this christmas, this is definitely worth investigating!
Charlotte's best bit: The Brave little Beaver story!
Daddy's Favourite bit: A superb little collection, perfect for yuletide storytelling!

Mr Pod and Mr Piccalilli
Mr Pod and Mr Piccalilli
Written by Penny Dolan
Illustrated by Nick Sharratt
Published by Walker Books
Mr Pod has a cat named Tod. Mr Piccalilli has a cat named Millie. What happens when these cats go missing one day?
A rather touching little story of two lonely chaps who love their cats (and their cake) and what happens when they're brought together when the moggies go missing. A great little twist and turn at the end ensures that this book will be read and re-read by you and your toddler. As ever, Nick Sharratt's artwork is sublime and Penny Dolan's writing is neat and full of excellent alliteration.
Charlotte's best bit: Working out which members of the family would like each different type of cake.
Daddy's favourite bit: Mr Pod's reading lamp, which is just like Daddy's
