A delight! * over40andamumtoone.com *
Hands up who loves Zoe & Beans?! We do! Both children were very excited to see the new book. They really do love Zoe and Beans. I can often hear Millie over the monitor at night time 'reading' Zoe & Beans Hello Ladybird to her baby pandas and dollies! Its really cute to listen too, she knows the book off by heart and she is only 2 and a half! * oneblueonepink.com *

Right at the beginning, Oscar's baby sister finds some treasure. In our house, the existence of a baby sister in the book was exciting enough to ensure that Libby wanted her own baby sister to share in her fun...
...We have always loved the Zoe and Beans books. The characters are really endearing and exceptionally well-illustrated. Their little adventures are really exciting for young children and they are just the right length to hold Libby's attention.
