Written in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, WP & Me is a story relevant to our times in the COVID era and beyond. It follows a London family as they go through the ravages of war upon them. Standing in huge shopping queues outside stores, dealing with rationing, changes in the schoolyard or the workplace, travel restrictions, and an unruly media often confusing the population - all this they must cope with, not to mention the sense of fear everywhere.

Striking, Apt, Fluid Storytelling
Revisado: 03-18-21
My young teenagers even listened through this audiobook with me. It is never easy getting them to focus but this audiobook was a popular choice. As a parent I like the positive morals in the storyline too. This is a sad story because its about World War 1, but one we nevertheless took a lot of positivity away from.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 5
A Christmas tale set in Santa’s kingdom, told twice in different ways by two very different storytellers. The first is SnowShine, Santa's Smallest Elf. The second is GobDrop, the…but who really knows who GobDrop is? SnowShine has heard of him from the spooky fireside tales told by bigger elves - but when SnowShine gets lost it is GobDrop who finds him. Carried in an old sack full of fish bones, the tiny elf enters GobDrop’s lair to discover a hidden kingdom below the snowy mountains.

REKINDLE REAL MAGIC OK!!
Revisado: 01-19-21
I'm a natural Scrooge. The thing is I dislike the blatant commercialism of Santa. To me he's so Coca-Cola. But this story won me over when I listened to it with my children. Santa was painted nice and jolly but also rather bossy. He likes money a lot. The story also makes the point that for many children Santa IS the most tangible form of real magic in their lives who deposits presents unseen at night - and when the whistle blows and they realise Santa's a fake, they in one clean sweep go on to believe all magic is fake. This story let's children believe in a very human, magical Father Christmas while also introducing lots of great creatures and wonderful morals which small children can relate to. It keeps magic alive in young hearts and old.
