Imran and the Watch

Imran and the Watch

Tony Bradman

Suitable for children in Year 1 (age 5), Imran and the Watch is from the genre strand Stories with Familiar Settings, a strand where children can identify with the setting and characters and make links with their own experiences. Imran and the Watch is one of nine books written by Tony Bradman and illustrated by Priscilla Lamont. Each story features the children of Class 1 and their teacher, Miss Miller. Young readers will easily relate to the kind of situations in which the children of Class 1 find themselves, and will enjoy meeting the same characters across the nine books. Cambridge Reading at Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) offers fiction, non-fiction, poetry and plays to introduce children to a variety of text types, authors and illustrators and provide a firm base for wider reading.

The Perfect Baby

The Perfect Baby

Tony Bradman

A brilliant tale of sibling rivalry which culminates in a happy ending. The ideal picture book for a child expecting a new brother or sister. Lucy’s new baby brother, William, is noisy and smelly, so Lucy insists he is returned to the hospital. She’d like to try another – less annoying – baby brother instead. But after trying a succession of babies from the New Baby Department, who turn out to be too boring, too hairy, and even too scary, it dawns on Lucy that maybe baby William wasn’t so bad after all. In fact, he’s perfect – as far as babies go, anyway!

Sam and Soraya

Built by Sam & Soraya

In 2022 we welcomed our little twins into the world. Since then we have been building up our home library full of baby books to try and give our boys the best start.

While books with characters called Sam are found in bookstores and charity shops throughout the land, we struggled to find any books with Soraya, Jasper, or Xander.

This gave Soraya the idea to compile a list of books for new parents and then Sam decided to turn it in to a website.
