'Wendy the Wide-Mouthed Frog' is a children's book written by Sam Lloyd, author of 'Calm Down, Boris' and 'You're Not So Scary, Sid' amongst others. What all of these books have in common is a hand-puppet built in to the centre of the book, which forms the basis of the story.
In this particular story, the star is Wendy a wide-mouthed frog. All that is required to bring Wendy to life is for the reader to pop their hand into the puppet and mimick Wendy's mouth movements. I haven't actually read any of the other books in the series so this was still quite a novelty for me to read and both my two year old and my six year old son thought so too.
I first came across this book when it was read at the 'Baby Bounce & Rhyme' group that I go to with my youngest son. The sessions always start off with a story and when Wendy was read out ...

Wendy Holden: Beautiful People
I bought this book from Sainsbury's a couple of weeks ago, it was two books for £7, which is good value as I bought this book whose RRP is £6.99, and Jane Green's The Beach House, which has the same RRP.
Beautiful People is 695 pages long, with 58 chapters, so it's quite a long book and if your not used to reading books and if you don't have much time to read, then don't bother with this book, as it's double the size of a normal novel and if it takes you a long time to read a normal book, then you could find your forgetting what happened at the beginning of the book when your getting towards the end!
It is good value for money though, even at full RRP price, it's a good price for a book of this size, and alot of books of this size would cost alot more than £7. It is paperback ...
Advantages: Nice enough food, lots to keep kids entertained, quick and easy Disadvantages: Not the most luxurious of food, can be pricey, unhealthy
I?ve been to London now a couple of times this year and one of the restaurants we?ve dined in, is Wendy?s. I?ve heard about Wendy?s in all the films, but had never tried it myself, so I was really excited!
We turned up at Wendy?s on Oxford street at around 12.30 ready for a spot of lunch. I was a bit worried about this place as I had read some not so good reviews on it however as we were incredibly busy we had to fit something quick in. when we arrived at around 12.25, the first thing that jumped out at us was how busy the place was. The tables were heaving with people however luckily, and what swayed it for us, was that there was just a tiny little queue. From the outside, Wendy?s looked quite attractive. It looked just like your typical burger joint or fast restaurant however it did look a bit ?Posher? and more like a restaurant ...
