Ru is now at the stage where he's just started showing an interest in books and sitting still long enough for me to read him stories before bed,

It's actually helped quiet a lot with his sleep routine, as now he knows once he's had his story he'll get some cuddle time and then he'll be placed in his cot. 

We both loved these books, Ru loved pointing to the beautifully illustrated pictures and I loved the stories.

They show how strong a bond can be between child and toy.

When no one else quite gets you, you know your faithful toy will! 

Ru hasn't got a strong attachment to any of his teddies yet but the twins won't go anywhere without their beloved sheep dog teddies. 

They take them anywhere and everywhere.

The upsets we've had when they've  been misplaced, or when they need to be put in the wash because their whites are no longer white and they pong just a little too much!

The love they have for them is beyond words! 

These books will appeal to both parent and child alike. 

They'll make beautiful gifts and they'll sure to become bedtime favourites.  

Now I've read the new books in the series I shall be making sure I buying the old ones too! 

If you fancy buying these beautiful books you can order them now from Amazon;
