Eight year-old Adam was very unhappy when he couldn’t find his copy of The Boys’ Annual – his favourite book. Apparently he’s still looking for it, although may have lent it to a friend who hasn’t returned it. So Adam will be relieved to know the 2008 edition is now published!

In the days of such high-tech entertainment for children, it’s rather reassuring that this type of book which harks back to the annuals of the 1950s, is so popular! A quick glance at the contents reveals Survival Guides, Fun Facts, Things to Make and, bringing us nicely into 2008, Green Stuff: Boys Save the Planet. I suspect Ways to Annoy Your Brother or Sister will become a well-thumbed section!

While Adam was hunting for his annual, younger sister Iona – just celebrating her seventh birthday - told me she’d like The Girls’ Annual. Looking at the 2008 edition and seeing one of the comic strip stories – The Strange Case of the Spooky School Trip - took me back to my days of reading Judy! There are Quizzes, Arts and Crafts, Health and Beauty and Puzzles, plus for the environment – Green Sisters! And mums, check out Forty Things Every Girl Should Do In Her Lifetime – how many have you completed?

The Boys’ Annual 2008 and The Girls’ Annual 2008 are published by Michael O’Mara Books. To order a copy from Amazon, please click the link below:
