Every time we launch a new Book Club, we like to pick out some of our very favourite books. It’s never easy – we’re talking a lot of great books here – but to get you started, here are six books we’re especially excited about, sorted by age range so you can shop quickly and easily.
Mini – 0-6 years
Humans love Christmas! But do cats? Find out in this charming festive story about a best-loved family pet. Everyone knows Christmas is coming. Everyone, that is, except Mog. No one has warned her about it, and she’s completely baffled by all the fuss.
Uh-oh! Love Christmas? Hate Brussels sprouts? Mean, green Sproutzilla is on the rampage – and he’s headed straight for Santa! It’s very merry YUCK! OK: hands up if you don’t like sprouts. Here’s a secret: nor does Jack, the hero of this story.
XD – 7-11 years
