Dr.Seuss again with his rhyming craziness. I got the 50th birthday edition for £9.99 which includes a cat in the hat poster.

I recommend getting the full sized versions as they are really beautiful and fun to read aloud to friends, children or just secretly to yourself! Oops, there goes my secret!

Cat In The Hat: Two children sit bored inside their house while their mother is out with nothing to do. That is, until the mischievious ‘Cat In The Hat’ comes round to show them tricks- and make a mess in their house! And when it looks like their mother is coming back- what will it take for them to make the troublesome cat leave? And how will they clean up all the mess in time?

Cat In The Hat Comes Back!: Oh no! They were told to clear away all the snow outside the house while their mother was out, but now the meddlesome ‘Cat In The Hat’ has returned- and he’s up to no good again! Will disaster befall the children once again- and if so- surely they couldn’t fix things so easily twice in a row? Oh- You ‘Cat In The Hat’! Leave those children alone! And just when things look like they couldn’t get any worse… The Cat In The Hat introduces ‘Little Cat A’... and he has a ‘few’ friends!

A Star Trek Original Series Fiction published by Pocket Books.

In this we see the return of the character ‘Harry Mudd’ the con man- who was last left stranded on a remote M-Class planet with a bunch of androids- and 300 replicas of his wife Stella. But now he returns and he has- ended a war?

Yes, it’s really true, a war that has raged for over 10’000 years has been ended by the quick thinking of Harry Mudd. The Enterprise crew is apprehensive of trouble- and boy do they get it!

If you love the concept of reincarnation or sci-fi breaking religion and more importantly, if you love Star Trek, then this book is great to read! The main crew members all have their moments here and are written about beautifully!

That’s what I needed, something simple to wind down on, something funny and yet intelligently written.

I really liked this book. I was expecting something depressing from the title and yet something with no tension or excitement since it was a children’s book and thus predictable, but I was suprised on all fronts.

It was hilarious and didn’t single out children or adults. For the youths it was educational, with phrases commonly used and explanations of certain things- like comparing a chamaelion’s colours with a person’s personality. It did this subtley so children reading it wouldn’t think they were being taught. How did it do this? Well, in the same fashon, in the same way, the author also taught the adults too! The words used to desribe common sayings were similar to describe the speech of the baby of the three children. For example…

“Neyyyreb!” which probably meant something like ‘I agree heartily, I also wouldn’t like that to happen.’

There was also a grammar obsessed woman in this volume and while this is supposed to be funny because she is constantly correcting everyone, I can’t help but think how handy this is also for learning. Also- she reminds me of my sister too. ^-

It didn’t shy away from morbidity either even though it’s for young people too- and there is a death- though I won’t say who, as I reccomend you to read this book if non of the others in this series- and wouldn’t want to spoil the end for you.

There was a lot of excitement and tension in it too. In most stories, if the characters have a time limit or several dilemmas to overcome, they manage to do so just in time, but in this book they don’t always succeed so you never know if they are going to be ok.

Anyway, simply put, I had a bloody good read!!! Read it!

This book is hilarious. My fave as a youth was Green Eggs and Ham, which I bought a mini version of about a year or so ago in London. It’s one of the 100 century anniversary editions.

But this is a larger one of the irrepressable fox in socks!

It’s mainly about rhyme and tongue twisters… here’s a little excerpt…

‘Lets have a little talk about tweetle beetles…

What do you know about tweetle beetles? Well…

When tweetle beetles fight, it’s called a tweetle beetle battle.

And when they battle in a puddle, it’s a tweetle beetle puddle battle.

AND when tweetle beetles battle with their paddles in a puddle, they call it a tweetle beetle puddle paddle battle. AND…

When beetles battle beetles in a puddle paddle battle and the beetle battle puddle is a puddle in a bottle… they call this a tweetle beetle bottle puddle paddle battle muddle. AND…’

It goes on, that’s near the end though, there are some really nifty ones before that!! Buy it, you’ll enjoy trying to read it yourself and then listening to your freinds trying to read it!

It’s also great for children who are learning to read!!

The latest book I read was Peter Pan by J.M Barrie. It’s really good because it isn’t sugarcoated like Disney portray it. There are really shocking bits!

I especialy like Peter Pan’s character because he is so forgetful it is frightening- it’s almost like he’s just a feeling in the heart’s of children.

He also has a dark side and refuses to love. Even though he seems to be in a constant state of happiness he can’t commit to anything and time is so fleeting he can hardly remember so it’s like his life is a little tragic too.

He can’t feel the joy of what others do, but has so many joys that we can never have.

I know this doesn’t count, as I read this a while ago, but I really liked it and hope others will too. Also, it’s probably one of my favourite books too.

That and War of the flowers. I love that book. It’s about fairy society and how many dark faries hate humans and want to kill us all. Whoa.

It also has a very humourous lead of characters that takes short tempered little fairy and “What the heck is all of this?!” main character that bit further!
