Book SynopsisOnce upon a time there was a happy family: A mum, a dad, a gerbil, and the most beautifulest, cleverest, ever so kindest Princess Marianna. Until one horrible no good day when a new ruler was bornFrom two of the most revered picture book creators working today comes a unique home-grown fairy tale about a little girl with a new baby brother. Marianna, the most beautiful, ever so kindest princess, lives happily with her mum, dad and gerbil. Happy, that is, until the new baby comes along. His Royal Highness King Baby is so smelly. He's so noisy. And all the talk in the Land is about him non-stop, All the time! Has there ever been such a time of wicked rule?! Hilariously told from the over dramatic, reluctant big sister's perspective, Sally Lloyd-Jones' unique narrative voice is brought exquisitely, and hilariously, to life by award-winning illustrator David Roberts.Trade Review“Brilliantly observed and oozing style, a wonderfully funny take on sibling rivalry and the “wicked rule” of a new baby.” * The Bookseller *“This displacement-themed fairy tale spoof is funny from the very first page […] the sly pen-and-watercolour pictures provide delicious comic counterpoint […]” * Publishers Weekly *“All in all, His Royal Tinyness is worth having in the house for David Roberts’ funny and clever illustrations alone; I especially loved the dad depicted in bell-bottoms and polo neck and the mum in a fabulous kaftan.” * The Fountain *

Book SynopsisWe are friends on epic adventure to Planet Earth! We got space ship! YEAHHH! Look it's got steering wheel, space biscuits and party area. OOH LA LA!From the author of Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise and the team behind Don't Call Me Choochie Pooh! comes a wildly inventive, contemporary picture book comedy about aliens. Boron, Bazoo and Zob are three extra-terrestrials on a mission. They're going to take something brilliant from Earth and bring it back to their home planet, Zabalooloo. Something like an enormous elephant! But this goofy, giddy trio are simply too overexcited they're never going to catch anything if they keep wiggle-woggle dancing, taking selfies and shouting, Ooh la la!.Trade Review“Sean Taylor’s deliciously zany text, some of which is rendered through colour-coded speech bubbles, is full of utterances guaranteed to make you splutter with laughter. […] Perfectly complementing Taylor’s words are Kate Hindley’s sublimely silly, intricately detailed visuals of the diminutive Zabaloolooian explorers and their tin can craft complete with steering wheel and party area, going about their mission. Human explorers of the pages will find many more small-sized things including a wealth of insects hovering on, and buzzing around, the various kinds of plants liberally scattered throughout the terrain of the aliens’ hunting ground.

Book SynopsisThis is the story of Raymond an ordinary dog who, for a while, lives an extraordinary life.What if dogs could walk and talk and go to work? Well, Raymond the dog has big ambitions beyond his ordinary, canine life in the big city. He wants to take himself for a walk and get his own dinner. And when he's done all that? Well, he wants a job, just like his owners. But when Raymond begins a high-flying journalism career at Dogue magazine, he soon realizes it's no walk in the park With a stylish limited palette and incredible visual humour, children and adults alike will fall in love with Raymond and his laugh-out-loud antics in this absurdly original yet highly relatable world.Trade Review“Even before you have opened the book, you will be won over by the brilliant sunshine-yellow cover and Raymond […] The delight for readers is partly in acknowledging that we should all be careful what we wish for.” * Observer *“This funny, ‘be careful what you wish for’,‘ don’t bite off more than you can chew’ tale, with its New York setting, will resonate with adults as much as children, or perhaps more. The trouble is though, it’s not necessarily all that easy to step off that workaholic, achievement treadmill, which seems always to be driving us onwards towards greater heights . . . There’s plenty to make readers – be they or be they not dog lovers – smile in the comic style scenes of a life as a top dog.” * Red Reading Hub *“The message won’t be lost on adult readers while children will delight in Raymond’s extraordinary adventures.” * Andrea Reece, LoveReading *“Colourful, clever and witty, Raymond offers something to readers of all ages. While essentially a story about a dog having a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, adults and older readers will pick up a meaningful message about the work/life balance. Children, on the other hand, will enjoy Raymond’s delightful antics and all his fellow canines taking on human behaviours.” * BookTrust *“This was a charming story and I finished the book with a smile on my face.[…] This is a great book for 3 years plus and is a delight to read. Dog lovers will particularly enjoy seeing what can happen if dogs can walk and talk!” * The Daylight Explorer *“This humorous, engaging tale from Yann and Gwendal Le Bec is accompanied by set of arresting spreads, bursting with visual humour and small but meaningful detail. […]This is anthropomorphism at its absolute best.” * Picture Books Blogger *
