Se7en’s Fabulous Friday Fun… #246

A Fabulous fun Post filled with links and news… and the father person had tickets to the rugby… a sport like no other… I tell you!!!

The crowds spend a lot of time like this, the teams spend a lot of the time like this… the players spend a lot of time collapsed on the ground and being visited by medics…

It was a perfect, perfect evening… and a complete change from everyday life…

Thank you to so many of you who have already told us where you are, we would love to know where in the world our readers are, please click through and leave a comment.

This book has been jammed in our youngest person’s backpack for a little while now. It is part of a series of first facts books published by Ladybird books. I grew up on Ladybird books and I can’t help loving them. The pages are bright and fun to look at, lots of images: photographs and illustrations for curious little people. Each double page spread covers a topic, like a planet or living in space, there are three or four blocks of factual facts. The writing is easy enough to read for a proficient reader, but you are most likely going to be reading this to your avid youngsters. Very fun, very short and sweet… no boring overload here… and the silliest page, a page of jokes, galactic gags… has proved to be the most popular page of all!!!
We received this book from Penguin Books South Africa for review purposes. We were not paid to write this review and the opinions expressed are entirely our own.

Here are some lovely links from this week:
