Made at the lovely Sticky Stephs. If you love the gift bags you receive and don't want to part with them turn them into a pocket book in both ways!

A wonderful proper china mini 'Tiger who came to tea' set was very popular when Poppy was little. We always liked the way they were very calm and collected when the tiger had eaten all their tea and just nonchalantly went out for tea instead!  The lovely Mog and her family : always inspiring to see how the book 'became'.

Just in case you need evidence here it is although I've never taught a child over the past 21 years who has been an avid reader (boy or girl) and not achieved well...I just can't think of one:

Snuggle up with a Story shack read...

This is a wonderful book. I can't believe I hadn't discovered it sooner. It's set in Cromwell's England which has always been fascinating for me and the beautiful description spirits you to Coriander's time. Don't worry if historical books don't appeal...it's a real page turner. There's magic, there's sadness and happiness and very sinister characters indeed.  Once you open it you'll be compelled to carry on....
