Advantages: A couple of decent tracks Disadvantages: The album lacks consistency, a lot of fillers are evident here
and 'When Your Heart Stops Beating' is therefore a much better offering than what we had from Mr DeLonge. Whereas after the demise of Blink 182, Tom DeLonge took the route of taking himself far too seriously and becoming a complete egotist, +44 are far more light-hearted, and although their music is at times a far cry from that of what they were producing as Blink 182; a lot of the time the tracks here sound like cast off's from Blink 182's self titled release.
'When Your Heart Stops Beating' starts off promisingly with 'Lycanthrope', a track which is fairly pacey and keeps your interest for the 4 minutes that it runs for. Although this track is pacey with strong drumbeats and guitars, it's never really anything spectacular and although starts the album nicely enough it will never leave you gasping in awe of what you have just listened to ...

and Percy are doing. Your child then has to look at the picture and find the children to see what they are doing. It uses this basic questioning several times during the book, which means your child has tobe looking at what is going on.
Another nice touch is that on every page there is a yellow duck hidden, which your child has to find. This again I think helps with their observation skills.
Gareth really enjoyed having this book read to him. He had lots of fun trying to find the duck on every page, and seemed to get a sense of achievement when he found it. He also enjoyed answering the different questions that were in the book.
