In My Own Words:
What is a review? I think it would be fair to say that everyone’s idea is different. I read other reviews to decide whether or not to purchase an item and that is what my own reviews aim to do - basically describing the item as if it was in your hands in a High Street shop.

I read other reviews to decide whether or not to purchase an item and that is what my own reviews aim to do - basically describing the item as if it was in your hands in a High Street shop.
I have been reviewing for over 11 years, and have a large number of Amazon 'customer' reviews, also.
A high percentage of my older reviews were specifically written to provide information which was NOT on the Amazon product detail at the time of writing, and long before the 'look inside' facility was made available, in the case of books.
I only review items which I own or have physical access to, with particular interests in cooking and early reading.
My uploaded images of 'early readers' and 'picture books', are simply to give an indication of the text size and the style of the illustrations contained within, which..... I think...... could be useful to a potential purchaser.
For a number of reasons, I do not put an age guide in my reviews.
I also feel that it is worth mentioning that Amazon can, and do, edit reviews, without reference to the author. This can often lead to seemingly 'incomplete' reviews, or apparently duplicated information, particularly in the case of the increasing number of product amalgamations.
I do not support the Amazon comments' facility, therefore I do not read or respond to comments.
To all my readers and voters, thank you for taking the time.
Take care.

instead of following his usual bedtime routine............like all his friends.
But does getting his own way make him a happy little tiger?
From the back cover:-
'Little Tiger was very naughty.
He did not like going to bed.
When one night Mummy Tiger roared,
"All right, you can stay up all night then!"
he couldn't believe his good luck, and scampered off into the jungle, before she could change her mind.......'
As Little Tiger sets out to visit his playmates, they are all in the process of settling down for the night, e.g. bath-time or listening to a bedtime story, with their Mummy or Daddy.

....to learn the art of jumping, just like Mummy Frog!
From the back cover:-
'...."Mum, why can't I jump like you?" asked Tadpole.
"Oh but you will, Tadpole," said Mother Frog.
"You will. Just keep splishing and splashing!"
Every creature the teeny weeny tadpole meets seems to be able to jump, except him.
Then he meets the big bad fish, who can't jump - but he can swim very, very fast, and he eats little tadpoles..........'
Oh no!
Little faces in my reading corner audiences tend to look up in dismay........
but, don't worry........
It is all right at the end!

a 'Bing-Bong' at the door, and the return of the small white tufty one!
This review is for the 'ORCHARD BOOKS' large hardback edition, measuring approximately 26.5cm x 24.5cm.
Durable hardback covers open to 30 high quality pages about a rather stubborn little girl called PEARL, who likes to be..... well........negative, especially when it is time to go to sleep.....for she is much TOO BUSY!
That is, until 'that bear' arrives on the doorstep...with his suitcase.....and soon makes it quite clear that he is NOT keen on the idea of BEDTIME, either!
In fact, quite the opposite as it turns out, as the duo indulge in a bit of:-
