I want My light On by Tony Ross
I want my light on
by Tony Ross

Comment from Reader:
This is about a little princess wanting her light on because it is dark. I liked it because it was babyish and it was funny.
I would recommend it to younger children.

Who's in the loo?
by Jeanne Willis

Library staff recommended!Comment from Reader:
What is it about?
: Various animals could be in the loo - and a real long queue is forming. Who is holding them up? Is it an elephant, or a whale, or even a poor little velvety mole?
Why did you like it?: Because it is in rhyme, reads aloud well, and the illustrations are very funny.
Who would you recommend it to?: Anyone who likes "rude" stories
