Things are Shaking by Lois Wickstrom My rating: 4 of 5 stars Little miss loves these books – they are easy for her to read and the colourful illustrations keep her engaged…. This one was super cute – there’s even a touch of magic (wand) so what wasn’t to love. Even her older brother stuck […]

Levi by Edith Mackenzie My rating: 4 of 5 stars I wasn’t sure what to expect from this author as it’s the first time I have read her books. I noticed that it was Book 1 when I started – generally I will purchase all books in a series before reading any in case they […]
