Winter Wonderland Book Review

Another season is looming, Winter.

Some people see cold, dark and grey, whilst others see the possiblities of snuggles under blankets, hot chocolates all round and of course Christmas.

I was recently sent the book Winter Wonderland that contains 10 adorable animal stories.

One frosty Winter, a bear cub gets ready for the long hibernation, a puppy takes his first walk in the snow and a lamb catches a glimpse of Father Christmas… 

Written by some delightful authors including Holly Webb, Linda Chapman, Anna Wilson and Tracey Corderoy, these stories really get the imaginations flowing.

The Mumsnet Book of Animal Stories Review

the mumsnet book of animal stories
Mumsnet, Gransnet and Walker Books recently held a children's story competition for people to send in the own stories written about animals.

Out of hundreds of entries, 10 lucky people were chosen by a panel of celbrity judges which was chaired by former Children's Laureate Anthony Browne.

"Chairing the judging of the Mumsnet, Gransnet and Walkers Book children's story competition was a difficult task. The number of entries showed just how important story-telling is to so many parents, carers and grandparents."

These stories have now been compiled together into The Mumsnet Book of Animal Stories.

My girls and I were lucky enough to receive a copy of this book to read and review, we couldn't wait to get reading.
