The Little Eskimo is the gorgeous new release (February 2013), from the highly talented Davide Cali. Wilkins Farago's latest offering does not disappoint as they present a tale of human desire, accompanied by Maurizio Quarello's rich illustrations.

"There is a lot more in him than you guess, and a deal more than he has any idea of himself. You may (possibly) all live to thank me yet.” The Hobbit is a legendary story of courage and friendship set in "Middle Earth" - a fantastic land of Goblins, Elves, Dwarves and most notably Hobbits, of course.

BUY NOW from Amazon.co.uk - international delivery available. Is Daddy Coming Back in a Minute? is a book like no other. This is picture book that hopefully you will never need to turn to, will never contemplate needing - but for the families who do need it, it will offer a great deal of solace and comfort during an unimaginably difficult time.

'Twas the night before Christmas ...' ... and so begins the evocative, atmospheric poem so many are now familiar with - The Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore.

Quirky and original for sure. The stories of Madeline have a unique appeal, and this one fits in perfectly to our Book List for London and the Olympic Games.

"the best way for a book to become a classic is to delight, and keep on delighting." Philip Pullman, foreword. This stunning, pale blue covered edition with the glimmering red hearts certainly captured our attention. Adorned with the original image of Alice and the unforgettable Cheshire Cat it has re ignited our love for a classic character and found its own special place in My Book Corner.

I fell in love with Joel's blog quite some time ago, pre My Book Corner.  The inspired ideas, creativity, amazing pictures and the FUN captured my attention even though I am a little bit challenged in the craft skills department. Ultimately Joel's ideas work - after all he has created them with his own children. Made To Play! is exactly what you need for a present with a difference - something which is modern, quirky and sure to be used over and over.

Delight in the misery, and be comforted by Axel's illustrations.  My Book Corner reviews a book aimed as much at adults as older children.  A perfect book which captures those midweek / weekend / or just the 'nothing is going right' type of day most of us experience at some point ... then turns it round with its wry sense of humour.

The magic of TS Eliot is re vamped with a new look courtesy of Axel Scheffler - perfect for a generation familar with The Gruffalo, Charlie Cook and Stick Man. I have spent a lovely Sunday afternoon reading this aloud to my 8 year old.  The language is rich and clever - I have enjoyed exposing her to the genius of Eliot and the magic of his truly great verse.

$2 from the sale of every copy of this book sold between 27th Sept & 31st Oct 2011 will be donated by HarperCollins to The Children's Hospital Westmead. The launch of the seven lost stories has got many excited with eager anticipation ... My Book Corner can assure you that there will be many smiling faces.
