Hello, says Olly Bear
Hello! Says Olly Bear
Written and Illustrated by Tony Kenyon
Published by Orion Children's Books
Olly Bear has a new baby sister, and like all children suddenly faced with a younger sibling, Olly's not too sure what to make of the new arrival. Olly pretends to take no notice of his adorable baby sister at first, but soon Olly learns that she's lovable, playful and loves her big brother very much.
A very cute little story that will definitely have plenty of familiarity for parents who've just had a second child, and toddlers who have someone else in the house that suddenly becomes the centre of attention.
Charlotte's best bit: Olly's baby sister cries, and cries, and cries.
Daddy's favourite bit: Definitely identifying with Olly's parents who are spark out by 8 o clock at night.

Oops! Says Olly Bear
Written and Illustrated by Tony Kenyon
Published by Orion Children's Books
Any parents with restless toddlers will instantly identify with this little tale of a little bear who won't stay put when put to bed.
Olly the Bear can't sleep, wants a drink, wants to go to the toilet and so we follow his story as his bumps and scrapes keep his mummy and daddy awake all night.
Of course, what you don't see in the book is Olly's mummy and daddy waking up at 6 the next morning with bags under their eyes you could carry a week's groceries in, but this is a children's book so perhaps reading this to your little ones at bedtime might make them snuggle down and drop off. Or want cake. One of the two.
Charlotte's Best Bit: Olly making a complete mess of the kitchen
Daddy's favourite bit: The complete inaccuracy of "Daddy" being the one who tries to ignore Olly's noises and bumps by shrugging them off as "nothing"
