 | Old Tom Goes to Mars (Young Puffin Story Books) by Leigh Hobbs
Buy used from: £0.01 Old Tom books by Leigh Hobbs are all excellent, and I'd recommend them to you. I haven't managed to read them all, but I soon will!
|
 | Sucked in by Paul Jennings
Buy used from: £0.01 The story of an appendix on the loose. Probably the most ghastly Paul Jennings story I've read this year (illustrated by Terry Denton). Kids will love this book, but only if they like creepy tales.
|
 | Spit it Out! (The Rattiest Funny Picture Book in the World!) by Paul Jennings
Buy used from: £0.01 Anarchic humour on a grand scale. There's plenty of weird bits for everyone to enjoy. Some sections are a bit educational, but that won't put them off! (The Spitting Rat by PJ is incl.in book)

 | How Hedley Hopkins Did A Dare, Robbed A Grave, Made A New Friend Who Might Not Really Have Been There At All And While He Was At It Committed A Terrible Sin ... Was Doing Even Though He Didn't Know It by Paul Jennings
Buy used from: £0.01 Paul Jennings' first full-length novel. Like many of his short stories, the teenagers use some fairly earthy language, and he has confirmed that many of the incidents are based on his own childhood.
|
 | My Sister's an Alien by Gretel Killeen
Buy used from: £0.01 This is a great book, a real madcap tale, suitable for children that are not old enough for Paul Jennings books. But beware: keep clear of "My Sister is a Full-stop". It's not a patch on this one.

 | Boy Overboard by Morris Gleitzman
Buy new: £4.46 / Used from: £0.01 Boy Overboard was recommended to me. I'll post my review when I've read it.

![The Wiggles - Go Bananas [DVD] [2008]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/515vBUYJg0L._SL75_.jpg) | The Wiggles - Go Bananas [DVD] [2008]
Buy new: £5.88 So it's not a book! But this DVD is brilliant. Toddlers and pre-school-ers will adore it, and you'll be caught up with the catchy tunes. This is a recent DVD, and there are lots of others titles too.
|
 | Pidge (Paperark) by Krista Bell
Buy used from: £13.95 An adorable picture book, about a boy who befriends a wild pigeon. It's a heart-warming tale suitable to primary children.

 | Toad Rage by Morris Gleitzman
Buy used from: £0.01 The first of a series of books starring Limpy the Cane Toad. Suitable for anyone aged 9 or more (and that includes adults too!)
|
 | Bumface (Puffin Teenage Books) by Morris Gleitzman
Buy used from: £0.01 BUMFACE! At first I was put off by the title, but I read it because of the author. It is recommended for ages 9-12, it would appeal to anyone older too.
|
 | The Arrival by Shaun Tan
Buy new: £9.99 / Used from: £8.60 Amazing book, and wonderful illustrations by the author.
|
 | The Lost Thing by Shaun Tan
Buy new: £5.39 / Used from: £2.08 Full of quirky illustrations, he manages to make old physics & engineering texts look amazing. The pages are like layered scrapbooks, and the whole story is handwritten. Wonderful. I loved it all!
