		<title>Clancy &amp; Millie and the Very Fine House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I loved Amy &#38; Louis, a picture book by Libby Gleeson and Freya Blackwood, and this picture book has these two teamed again to great effect. Clancy has moved house.His mother lkoves her new house, his father thinks it &#8220;a very fine dwelling,&#8221; but Clancy thinks it&#8217;s too big. Feeling rather disconcerted, (and we&#8217;re shown [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Cat&#8217;s Pyjamas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A sumptuous visual and verbal feast, this hardback picture book by Wallace Edwards  is as much for adults as children. The first page gives a definition of idiom: &#8220;a group of words whose meaning cannot be understood from the meaning of the individual words; an expression, peculiar to a specific language, that cannot be translated [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nobody&#8217;s Horse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jane Smiley&#8217;s writing for adults has been much admired, with a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critics&#8217; Circle Award for A Thousand Acres, but this is, as far as I know, her first foray into writing for younger readers. With recommendations on the cover from Meg Rosoff: &#8220;Passion for horses shines out of every page,&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Numbers 2: The Chaos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Adam, like his mother Jem in the first Numbers book by Rachel Ward, sees numbers in people&#8217;s eyes, and knows it is the date of their death. When his grandmother moves them to London, he realises that most people around him have the same date, 112027, and he knows something huge is going to happen. [...]]]></description>

		<title>I am Number Four</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By &#8220;Pittacus Lore,&#8221; which appears to be a pseudonym for a couple of American writers, this is science fiction. Some reviewers have seen it as a cynical attempt to be the next big thing, and it seems to divide reviewers dramatically, but everyone I&#8217;ve lent my advance reading copy to has liked it. Number Four [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Goes On in my Head?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This book is another in the wonderful DK series that includes Who&#8217;s in Charge?  Show Me the Money and Mathmagicians, among others, and it shares many of the aspects that make the others so informative and appealing. This one is by Robert Winston, and the cover tells us that it is about: &#8220;How your brain [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tussock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a novel by Canadian-born but New Zealander resident since the age of two, Elizabeth Pulford. I&#8217;ve admired her writing before and this is a lovely story. Kate&#8217;s father is missing, possibly the victim of a plane crash and Kate, 13, and her younger sister Madeline are keeping their hopes alive in different ways. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Escape from Shadow Island</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This book by Paul Adam has a subtitle: a Max Cassidy Adventure, which suggests that there may be more to come, and the non-resolution at the end makes that almost certain. I hope so, because it&#8217;s a very good exciting read which will capture readers (boys in particular) who are perfectly competent readers but who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gruffen (The Dragons of Wayward Crescent)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the first in a great new series of first novels for the 6-8-year-olds by Chris d&#8217;Lacey. The blurb describes the dragons as &#8220;charming and friendly, magical and mysterious&#8221; and that description could just as easily refer to the books, which have illustrations by Adam Stower. Great for reading to a younger child who [...]]]></description>
