As I have mentioned on this blog before, we enjoy reading books in our home and we have a lot of them too! I think that books are something you just cannot have enough of.
Another popular thing in our home is Justin Fletcher. Burton loves watching him on CBeebies and lets face it with his silly faces and voices he is the perfect children’s entertainer.
Those clever people from Little Tiger Press have teamed up with Justin and had him narrate some great stories on a selection of picture book and CD sets which have been written by Steve Smallman. Genius!
Imagine a time when the earth was new and all creatures apart from birds were just dull and drab looking. What a dreary place to be a part of. That’s what a monkey thinks until it finds a paintbox and two brushes. Armed with a palette of brightly coloured paints, the monkey sneaks around while the animals sleep and colours them in.
“Someone painted this kingfisher blue ,
I’m going to paint all the animals too!”
Of course when they wake up the other animals complain at the monkey, but bear has a plan……
The Very Greedy Bee
Smelly Peter The Great Pea Eater
These are fantastic books. The stories are funny and the illustrations are so bright and really engage with you as you read the words. Burton has really enjoyed having them read to him, in particular The Monkey With A Bright Blue Bottom and The Very Greedy Bee both of which have been read several times!
Although Smelly Peter The Great Pea Eater is amusing and I like the premise behind the narrative, I do think some of the descriptions used are for slightly older children than my toddler!
However, as much as Burton has enjoyed listening to his mummy or daddy reading the books to him he has also liked hearing the CDs with Justin and here is the man himself reading an extract from Smelly Peter
All there books are very reasonably priced at just £7.99 each and are published by Little Tiger Press

Those books look really good, I think I’d love the monkey one. I mean, Z would!
Right now I’m having a real thing about peanut butter on toast so I’d go with that! x
At the moment, it would be pretty much anything! If I had to pick though I’ll go with cornflakes!
My favourite’s an open book – Toasted cheese sandwiches.
bananas, they are delicious
the sad truth is chocolate… eating Easter eggs on behalf of the children is not good for me!
chocolate
fudge! South African fudge though. It’s harder and less like soft toffee and is absolutely amazing. You have to try it!
Pancakes!
Chocolate! xx
Pasta
I would have to say crisps! I love them!!
Don’t think I can eat the same food morning and noon – it has to be different foods, not the same, and I won’t eat in the night at all.
Stilton, Pizza, Garlic Bread, Crisps, Corn on the Cob, Spaghetti…
Strawberries or porridge @MummyFever
Crisps. I just love crisps! Especially Walkers! (Or strawberries because they’re healthy!!) @DoobieTots
It would depend on my mood, so like Galina I probably couldn’t, but if I had to choose one thing it would be chocolate.
I could nosh down strawberry trifle morning, noon and night, and if it was possible, whilst I was asleep too 😉
cereal is always my go to for a quick and relatively healthy snack, come morning, noon or night. Love a late night bowl of shreddies!!
Stew… I just love it.

Cake…always cake!
Cheesecake is my one big weakness and I could eat it morning, noon and night
