A pocket of my life

Dinosaur, poop and a whole lot of laughs! Danny and dino want to see there favourite band perform but dino is hungry, along the way he munches on lots of things and makes Danny sad, is there a way that dino can save the day? Olivia has been a fan of these books for years and I must say they do make me and Liam laugh too, but when I booked this last year I was unsure of how this would be, and how they would bring the dino to life.

It's one of the longer books that we have in our collection but it makes her really excited for Halloween. 3. Room on the broom , who doesn't love a Julia Donaldson. We have many in our collection and I try to gravitate to this one during October...
