Advantages: Lovely pictures Disadvantages: Too gentle for slightly older toddlers.
...***Background***
My final Christmas book review is one about a charming elephant called Humphrey. He was created by Sally Hunter and there are a number of books written about him. Humphrey is part of a large elephant family and he is only 3 but has lots of fun with his big sister Lottie who is 5. You can find lots more about these lovely characters at www.humphreys-corner.com.
The designs have been turned into cards, soft toys and they also appear on children's clothes and bedding sets.

4. Young Bean- set in a daydreamy format Mr Bean is sorting out Mrs Wickets jumble in her loft and he remembers being a child. Another episode that was painful to sit through, no real original comedy.
5. In the Pink - This animated episode sees Mr...

...The Third World war is thriller written by BBC news broadcaster Humphrey Hawksley. It is set in the immediate future, with Iraq and the war on terror still very much the current issues of the time.
The book begins dramatically with an attack on the Indian Parliament by muslim terrorists. The Indian Prime Minister Vasant Metha finds himself helping to fight off the attack alongside his daughter Meenashki. A few days later the President of Pakistan is assassinated which serves as the trigger for a series of uprisings by Muslim extremists in East Asia. Meanwhile a US military base in Japan is hit by a North Korean missile and a sample of the smallpox vaccine disappears from a laboratory in Russia.
All these events initially seem unconnected but the American and British intelligence services soon discover chilling links between...
