Miss 6 enjoyed as a short audiobook.

Miss 6 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

No.


This book tries to capture the retro feel of vintage books. It sort of achieves this, if you count capturing all the bad aspects of vintage books, right down to the pastel soft sexist illustrations.

This is an 'I Can Read! Level 2: Reading with Help' book. Cute story for the little bits. Nice art work, fairly big lettering.
