  • Have You Seen Dinosaur?

    £7.99

    In this follow-up to ‘Have You Seen Elephant?’, the search is on in a dramatic cityscape for a dinosaur that’s surprisingly good at hiding!

  • Diggers, dozers and dumpers

    £12.99

    Learn about excavators, rollers, trucks, cranes, and loaders in this big book of more than a dozen heavy vehicles. And enjoy all the animals along for the ride. When Cow wants to give a concert, she transports her piano with a telescopic crane. When Duck and Hen compete over who has the neatest lawn, hand mower leads to lawn mower to combine harvester – that ends the discussion! And what do rhinos like to make in their cement mixer? Pancakes, of course, and here’s the recipe (beware, you’ll need 32,304 eggs).

  • So tired, so wide awake

    £8.99

    It’s bedtime. Hedgehog, Fox, Donkey, Pelican and Crocodile are so tired! But Seal needs to use the bathroom-slip slap slip, out the door. Crocodile forgot to clean those sharp teeth-shlurf shlurf, out the door. And Pelican is thirsty. One by one the animals climb out of bed, until everyone is piled in the child’s bed for a last goodnight kiss. Oof, that’s a heavy pile! What happens now?

  • One wise sheep

    £7.99

    Tonight, the sheep can’t sleep. The pasture is floodlit by a strange new star and their shepherds have disappeared. They must have been kidnapped by a UFO – or perhaps they’ve gone to meet the child rumoured to have been born in a stable. The sheep set off to find their shepherds. They’d like to see this child too, and they heard there’ll be a party! The sheep hike across country two by two, so none are lost. During this extraordinary night in Bethlehem, the quarrelsome sheep gradually become a real flock that pulls together. This amusing retelling of the first Christmas story through the eyes of the sheep reinforces the season’s theme – be a little nicer to each other, forgive your quarrels, and listen to everybody, especially the children.

  • Bear’s lost glasses

    £12.99

    On the way over, Bear sees all kinds of animals he didn’t notice last time: an elephant, a crocodile, a flamingo, a deer. And who’s this long spotty snake lying on Giraffe’s deckchair? The patient Giraffe finds Bear’s glasses – right where glasses always get lost, perched on his head. Then Bear takes Giraffe to meet these wondrous animals that he found on the way. Leo Timmers’ details are full of expression and humour – the angle of Giraffe’s neck and lift of his eyebrows, hiding his skepticism as he helps his friend, the dear, artless bear.

  • A rainy dragon day

    £12.99

    I’m just settling down with books, cocoa, and my long-haired dachshund, when the doorbell rings. It’s Fred the dragon, hoping to use the bathroom. There’s nowhere suitable for a fastidious dragon. After rejecting all the usual places, Fred sweeps us off through the storm to a magical world of floating pagoda bathrooms. Every beguiling detail in these illustrations evokes the snuggle of a cozy, rainy day in a funny story that addresses the very necessary question of where dragons go when they need to go.
