Advantages: A Strange and wonderful book Disadvantages: some distressing scenes
Mister Pip is the first of New Zealander Lloyd Jones' novels to be published in the UK. The book has been awarded the Commonwealth Writer's Prize Best Book Award and was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2007. Mister Pip was also successful at the Richard and Judy British Book Awards 2008.
Mister Pip is set in a village on the remote island of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea during the 1990's. The book is set amidst a civil war (the Rambo's vs. the Redskins), and all but one white man have left the island; Mr Watts (or Pop Eye). Mr Watts believes in the power of literature, and as all the teachers have fled; he assumes the role of teacher, the only textbook is Dickens' Great Expectations.

Advantages: Short episodes to keep young children amused Disadvantages: None
simple though this is aimed for young toddlers and children, not teens or adults.

And just to add ? The other week we went to a local shopping center especially to meet Peppa Pig who was making an appearance in John Lewis and my daughter was so excited and couldn?t wait to meet Peppa. Once meeting her, she gave her cuddles and held her hand (unfortunately the photos are on my mums camera!) and talked of meeting her for days after even though she met Father Christmas the same day ? it was Peppa Pig who made her happy.

I think part of the appeal is that these sweets seem very fun and cute. The bags are extremely easy to spot. They are a bright pink colour with a cartoon picture of a pig on the front in a barn. Then the rest of the bag is coloured green obviously for a field with little daisies on it. The bag is probably aimed at kids but I think grown up kids can appreciate it too!! You can always find bags at the check out (great product placement) and often dotted throughout the shop as well. In fact, now that Marks and Spencer have trademarked the product they have come out with a whole host of items in the "Percy Pig" range such as a Piggy Bank (very clever marketing but also very cute, I'm thinking of getting one myself!), bed linen, birthday cakes and pencil cases.
As I just bought the 100g bag I ...
