the funniest picture book I have reviewed! The book is the perfect introduction to the mystery and dark humour genre for kids aged 4-9. Witty with illustrations that weave their own story, this book is a must read and pick-up for kids! #BookSky spillingthebeansdotblog.wordpress.com/2025/02/11/r...

spillingthebeansdotblog.wordpress.com/2025/01/06/b... Alice is in love with the man whose flat she cleans, despite never having met. When she decides that it is time to, things don't go as planned. A thrilling tale, which deep dives into the parasocial relationship and its perils.

spillingthebeansdotblog.wordpress.com/2025/02/01/c... A visually stunning encyclopaedia, another inspirational tale from Little People, BIG DREAMS, the journey of how zero became a hero, and finally, a book for little kids to help and manage their emotions.

I really enjoyed this book! The author has used a literal monster to bring the message of anti-littering and pollution to life! — such a fun and creative approach. I bet the kids will absolutely love spillingthebeansdotblog.wordpress.com/2025/01/31/t...
