bought as a gift for a 6year old, so I have not seen it myself. But she loves this series and her parents think it very good.

My 4 year old favourite book

My son enjoyed this book and I enjoyed reading it too. Not as captivating as The Gruffalo or endearing as the Smed and the Smoos but it’s a lot of fun and will probably be well received at around Halloween time. If you are a fan of these books then you can’t go wrong, but if you’re new to JD and AS I would start with one of the earlier books.

My grandchildren live abroad and I recorded myself reading this charming book. The rhyming text is ideal for lulling sleepy toddlers!

In "The Baddies" by Julia Donaldson, we are invited into a whimsical world where a mischievous mouse sets out to challenge the meanest forest creatures: a troll, a ghost, and a witch, collectively known as the Baddies. 🌲 When news spreads that a young girl has moved into the neighborhood, the Baddies see it as the perfect opportunity to prove who is truly the worst by stealing her prized possession: a blue hanky with white dots. Thus begins a hilarious competition among the Baddies to outdo each other in their attempts to scare the girl and snatch her hanky. 🏡👧🏼👻 However, despite their best efforts, the Baddies are thwarted by the girl's unexpected kindness and courage. Each time they try to intimidate her, she responds with empathy and compassion, leaving the Baddies scratching their heads in disbelief. 🤔💙 It's not until the clever mouse intervenes with a heartwarming plea for help for his mouse babies that the true lesson of the story unfolds. Through the girl's selfless act of giving her hanky to keep the mouse babies warm, she teaches the Baddies and readers alike that kindness and compassion are the true measures of bravery. 🐭💕 This is a delightful tale that reminds us that no matter how big or scary you may seem, it's intelligence, empathy, and kindness that ultimately triumph in the end. With its charming characters, humorous storyline, and timeless message, it's a book that will leave us smiling and inspired. 📖😊🌟

I chose this book for my granddaughter, aged 5, mainly because her mum (my daughter) requested it. I haven’t read it as my family live in Germany and I’m in the UK. My granddaughter loves stories and, apparently, it went very well.

Un petit histoire avant de se coucher. Dessins bons, texte clair

of all the Donaldson/Scheffler production this seems mostly an equality and diversity tick-boxing exercise, where the story and the text fail to reach previous levels of achievement. As if all of a sudden a black female protagonist was to make up for some past misrepresentation. All the previous ones have offered mostly with animals characters a fair share that kids need to learn about their world and some future pearls of wisdom...this seems a bit forced by the market, albeit its excellent illustrations.
