...Mr Croc is a bright, lovable and mischievous crocodile who features in a series of children's stories written by Jo Lodge. This was the story that originally introduced my two year old son to the delights of Mr Croc and we have since gone on to read and enjoy several others in the series. 'Ready or Not, Mr Croc' follows Mr Croc as he is getting dressed, giving the author the opportunity to introduce little ones to clothing items and colours.

The show is a night to remember so if you are able to buy... Read review

However, if the milk is very hot, Ready Brek will thicken further as you leave it to cool down. Alternatively, you can just make it up in the bowl with cold milk and then heat it up in the microwave. Or, just for variety, you could pour the Ready Brek into the bowl first and then add hot milk. Really, the options are endless. You can't go wrong. If you make it too thick, add more milk. ~~~Packaging and Cost~~~ Ready Brek Original is packaged in an orange coloured box with a waxy packet inside. It's available in boxes of 500g, 750g or a box of 5 individual sachets. At the time of writing, a 500g box of Weetabix Ready Brek Original costs £1.27 (on offer down from £1... Read review
