Product Description

Review

Praise for Cherry Cake and Ginger Beer:
'This treasure of a book is packed with lovely recipes to transport you back to childhood'

(Eve )

'An amazing book, heartening and delightful ... everybody should read this book ... what parenting is supposed to be about' (Vanessa Feltz, BBC Radio London )


Product Description

Follow in the footsteps of your favourite childhood heroes, from the Borrowers to the Famous Five, from Milly-Molly-Mandy to Winnie the Pooh.

With Ripping Things to Do on lazy Sunday afternoons, in the garden, when you’re poorly, in the kitchen and even in your dressing gown, plus ripping things to make and cook, Jane Brocket’s book is bursting with inspiration, imagination and ‘I Want to Do That!’ moments, whether it’s putting on a good old-fashioned talent show (Dancing Shoes); hosting an impromptu tree party (Pippi Longstocking); sending an SOS message(The Five Find-Outers); or treating young adventurers to a lovely, hand- and heart-warming hotpot (Winter Holiday).

There are step-by-step illustrations for the more practical skills, like building a treehouse or learning semaphore, and delightful introductions to the stories that inspired each adventure, so that you can rediscover exactly what was so great about the books from your childhood, and even share them with the next generation. ‘We wanted to be like the children in books,’ says Alice in The Story of the Treasure Seekers, ‘only we never have the chances they have!’ If only she’d had RIPPING THINGS TO DO! A nostalgic treat for grown-ups, it is guaranteed to banish boredom, and have you enjoying the kind of amazing adventures other children can only dream about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, 3 Jul 2009
By Mrs. C. Nicholl "Greengirl" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I only got it today but have already devoured it! We head off to Scotland in a few days time and I am so excited about the things we will be able to do that I would not have originally thought of. When reading Jane Brocket's book I was transported back to my childhood...how I wanted (longed!!) to be one of the Famous Five, or dreamt of living in a house like Green Gables!

The place where we stay has so many opportunities and because my daughter will have the company of another little girl this year the ideas in the book will provide countless hours of fun....combing the beach and rockpools, adventures in the forest, roasting marshmallows as we watch the sunset over the lough and Scottish mountains.....!!! Maybe there'll even be lashings of ginger beer!!
