Children’s Hour was a feature based on the books I read to children at the nursery where I used to work. I am no longer working in nurseries, but you can find all the posts here
Here you can find all the past Children’s Hour posts. Entries are in chronological order. Which may seem strange but seeing as we have quite a few kids come through it means you can see what things different groups liked and didn’t like.

Oops, I meant my comment to be added to your posting about ‘Meg’s Eggs’, not to your general Children’s Hour page.
I like your reviews of children’s books, especially as you review books you have tried out with real, live children. Have you ever read them ‘Where the Wild Things Are’? Or, another favourite of mine, ‘Little Rabbit Foo Foo’ as told by Michael Rosen? I think I must like books about naughty boys 🙂

I want to read them Where The Wild Things Are, they are really into monsters at the moment for some reason, but we don’t have it at work, maybe I should take it from home. I know Little Rabbit Foo Foo, but only from The Moldy Peaches song.
