Pop-up monsters

Our producer Michael bought a copy of the Encyclopedia Prehistorica Mega-Beasts for a friend's son and when it was delivered here we couldn't help having a little peep. Problem was we then didn't want to give it back. This is a simply beautiful book - chock full of gorgeous pop-ups and something to treasure for years to come.

Clever little nightlight

The blurb for the grobag night light sounds a bit like the introduction to a new superhero - by day, it's an ordinary run-of-the mill lightbulb but when night falls, it metamorphises into a nightlight. What we particularly like is the fact that you don't have to install a dimmer switch in your children's bedroom. Anything that gets us out of doing DIY is a good thing in our book!
