25% off at Barefoot Books and the chance to win a title of your choice.

As those of you who've been with me for a while might remember, I've been more than a bit in love with Barefoot Books for some time now. Having read My Granny Went to Market and Star Seeker, I wrote to the company and asked if they had any other titles they might recommend. True to form, we were sent three books - all of which have become fast favourites. In fact, the only reason I have time to sit and write this is because Daughter is currently occupied by the story CD which came with The Little Red Hen.

Out of the three, this is probably my favourite, simply because it goes beyond the story. There's a bread recipe at the back (which Daddy tried making with Daughter and which we'll be eating for lunch) and the CD means that if you're got the tech - unlike us, who are still using cassette! - then you can take the story with you on long drives.

When we'd finished making bread (I swear, the orange tiles were here when we moved in!), we sat down and had multiple read throughs of the other two books, Claire Beaton's Bedtime Rhymes and Cleo in the Snow. The first of these really appealled to me. Being a keen crafter, it was very inspiring to see what amazing pictures could be made with felt applique. It was also lovely to have a change of bedtime songs from our usual routine, as well as finally learn the words to Brahm's Lullabye (why did I never think to look that up before?)

Cleo in the Snow was definitely Daughter's favourite though - I mean, it's been a day and she can recite it by heart already... that should give you some indication as to it's appeal. I don't know whether it's the pictures, or that she thinks the child is her, or what it is, but since I never tire of seeing her enjoy a story, the fact she loves it is all that matters.
