		<description><![CDATA[Book 7: Let&#8217;s Do It  by Cole Porter with illustrations by Ward Schumker. Porter&#8217;s Let&#8217;s Do It is a favourite, so when I saw this picture book version, I felt the need to own  it. With delightful illustrations, joyous couplings and bright primary colours this book lends itself well for storytime with young kids.

		<description><![CDATA[David Melling is amongst my favourite picture book authors. Quirky, heartfelt stories with wry humour and lots of love. His Hugless Douglas series are about the adventures of a young bear called Douglas. In this lovely book, Douglas&#8217;s woollen hat unravels and he worries about telling his father. Filled with gorgeous illustrations throughout the book, <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=shallowreader.wordpress.com&amp;blog=15082492&amp;post=1279&amp;subd=shallowreader&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
