Hello Doctor?

I read the children’s book called, “Hello Doctor.

This children’s book was written by Michael Escoffier and illustrated by Matthieu Maudet

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a doctor that has animals as patients.

However after viewing a full waiting room, each time he calls for his next patient he notices two have disappeared.

Could it be that they were so scared to see the doctor that they ran away or did the Wolf have something to do with it?

To find out what happens in the end either read the book or listen to the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

Is It A Duck Or A Rabbit?

The other day I read the children’s book called, ‘Duck Rabbit.’

This children’s book was written by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and beautifully illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld.

It’s a great children’s book with simple illustrations that tell a wonderful story about a duck and rabbit.

It’s wonderful that the illustrations show both animals in the one picture so that the reader has to decide.

This is a delightful book that I’d recommend reading with young children as they will love trying to solve the puzzle.

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?

Have You Got An Annoying Neighbour?

The other afternoon I read the children’s book called, ‘Goodnight Already.’

This children’s book was written by Jory John and is beautifully illustrated by Benji Davies.

This children’s book is about a bear and his neighbour, a duck.

When the bear gets tired and wants to sleep he becomes irritated when duck comes over to play and will not take no for an answer.

Now that would really annoy me, but bear is far too polite and tries to accommodate him.

Next time he should just do what I would and ignore the doorbell, eventually after an hour they usually go away.

This is a delightful book that I’d recommend reading with young children.

So why not read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?

Mr Gumpy’s Outing?

I read the children’s book called, ‘Mr Gumpy’s Outing,’ the other day.

This book was written and illustrated by John Burningham.

It’s a lovely children’s story about Mr Gumpy’s outing on a boat; however when the wildlife wants to come too, it doesn’t go as expected ending up with them all in the river!

This is a wonderful book with great illustrations that show how animals react to one another when in close proximity; especially on a boat.

My final thought’s on this book is that it’s a great story to read to young children they’d love it, and remember if you’re planning a boat trip, don’t take the wildlife!

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?

What’s A Rumble In The Jungle?

I read the book called ‘Rumble in the Jungle,’ last week.

This book was written by Giles Andreae and illustrated by David Wojtowycz

It’s a comical rhyming book about animals that live in the jungle.

In this beautifully illustrated book, each jungle animal is explained to the reader in a series of rhymes.

It’s educational and encourages children to learn about jungle animals simply and in a humorous way.

I’d definitely recommend reading this book to children of all ages.


Read it now or watch it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think?

Where’s Zoo Lane?

I watched 64 Zoo Lane on CBeebies the other afternoon with my grandson.

64 Zoo Lane was created by author An Vrombaut.

The music is by Rowland Lee; the theme tune is beautifully sung by children.

This children’s television series is about a little girl called Lucy who lives next to Zoo animals.

At night a Giraffe allows Lucy to leave her bedroom window to slide down her neck into the Zoo for a wonderful bedtime story. A different story is told each night by one of the Zoo animals.

It’s a wonderful animated children’s television series featuring stories, music and songs.

The animation is great it look’s like it’s just come out of a picture book it’s definitely worth watching the children will love it. 

In my opinion, it’s a great children’s series encouraging friendship and kindness to animals.

My favourite episode is called ‘Georgina the Giraffe’ she gets herself tied into a knot, the storyline and the song that she sings are hilarious but that’s just my opinion.


My final thought, it’s enjoyable and fun to watch but don’t take my word for it watch an episode now and tell me what you think?
