After what felt like hours of watching him struggle to get in, I’d give him a little push up. Almost as soon as he could walk, he wanted to get in and out of the car by himself.

Both my children have always been fiercely independent, almost to a fault. Or another word for it might be independence. Guaranteed to keep youngsters amused but accompanied by a warning that all spells should be taken with a large pinch of salt.One thing I’ve noticed about toddlers, specifically my 3 year old. In what is probably the most hilarious spell book ever published, Nick Sharratt's trademark illustrations combine with ludicrous instructions in a split-page, spiral-bound format to produce almost limitless possibilities for magical transformations.Īnyone wishing to find out what might happen if they stick a finger up one nostril, suck on a humbug, sniff a sorcere's socks and eat seven lettuces should consult this book immediately. If you have ever wished you could turn a weedy uncle into an inflatable fairy or a bad-tempered friend into an exploding pencil case then this is the book for you! and I’m sure if he could have turned me into a flying dinosaur and I could have turned him into an exploding pair of trainers we would have done!
