Templar Publishing Grumbug
Book SynopsisOliver and his best friend Troll run a café in the woods. They make the BEST cakes - their troll customers would much rather eat cakes than children! One particularly busy day in the café, Oliver's sister Dolly disappears, so Oliver and Troll set off to find her. Their search takes them up Munch Mountain, where the biggest, meanest and grumpiest troll in the world lives. Oliver doesn't believe all the scary rumours, but Troll's not so sure . . .Trade ReviewIt's great to see the characters from Troll and the Oliver return for a second story about hungry trolls and cake. At the end of The Troll and the Oliver, Oliver and Troll have gone into business together running a cafe selling cake to hungry trolls. But when Oliver's little sister disappears up Munch Mountain - where the Grumbug lives - he and Troll set off after her, taking a special supply of cake with them. Children will love following the clues in the story that lead Oliver towards his sister. Sure enough, she is at the top of Munch Mountain - but is the Grumbug really as big and as green and as mean as people think...? Once again Adam Stower excels at juxtaposing the text and the images so that the child reader knows more about what is going on than some of the characters in the story - they will delight in pointing out the clues to the existence of a rather large creature in the mountains, even if Oliver doesn't believe it exists... The rather wonderful array of trolls in the story could also be used to encourage children to create their own troll or other cake-guzzling creature! -- Reading Zone * Reading Zone *Extraordinary characters, wonderful illustrations with bright, bold colours fill the pages of this picture book. Children will love it and they will all wish their best friend was a troll. -- James Syner * Magpiethat *Yippee! It's a return visit from my favourite Troll and of course, Oliver. This time however, it's Oliver's small sister, Dolly who features large - well not that large - in this story. At the outset we find Oliver and his best pal, Troll hard at work in their café: a café run exclusively for trolls (of the cake-only-eating variety I hasten to add.) So busy are the friends that they fail to notice young Dolly heading out through the open door.Some time later her absence is discovered and a hunt ensues. An exhaustive search of the café reveals no Dolly so Oliver declares an outside search is needed. "BEWARE! Steer clear of Munch Mountain - you know who lives there!" warns a wise old troll speaking of ... All manner of dreadful descriptions issue forth from other trolls but Oliver is undaunted and armed with cake and alone save his trusty pal Troll, he sallies forth on a Dolly hunt. Into the forest they go ... Oliver at least, heedless of the clues around them - until they find themselves at the foot of Munch Mountain. Up, up they go and at the top they find ...And she's not alone; but surely that creature cannot be the BIGGEST, MEANEST, GRUMPIEST and GREENEST troll of all? Can it ...? Erm, maybe not; but nobody wants to spoil a super-dooper story so let's bid our cake-eating crew a hearty farewell and leave them to enjoy their repast... and I'll just add Oliver's parting words "WE NEED BIGGER CAKE!" Amen to that: and more servings please, Adam Stower. That one was a decidedly tasty offering. The recipe's pretty much as before with occasional textual forays into rhyme and Stower's wonderful way of showing not telling with his witty illustrations. My four to nine year old audiences have relished every serving and demanded immediate second helpings. -- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub *Gleeful story, gorgeous illustrations - 'Grumbug' is great! * Nick Sharratt *It's full on brilliant, beautifully drawn and HILARIOUS. I 100% think that it's one of my very favourite picture books. SO good! * Alex T.Smith *My daughter had to turn the pages for me. I was hiding behind the duvet, too terrified to meet the meanest, greenest troll of all...GRUMBUG! * Jonny Duddle *Adam Stower's Grumbug is a delight. A lightly told story with a nicely balanced degree of suspense to keep the reader engaged throughout the book, all told with witty and expressive illustrations, dashed off with consummate graphic skill. * John Vernon Lord *Adam's pictures make me smile and warm my heart. Grumbug is a delight! * Chris Riddell *

Templar Publishing Gigantosaurus
Book SynopsisAll young dinosaurs are warned about the scary Gigantosaurus. So Bonehead volunteers to be the dino-kids lookout whenever they go into the jungle to play. Unfortunately, he is the original boy-dinosaur who cried wolf, or in this case, GIGANTOSAURUS! Finally, Bonehead's friends refuse to believe his warnings and the Gigantosaurus really turns up! In a vertical gatefold surprise, it looks like Bonehead has got crunched - but in a hilarious reveal we discover this annoying little dinosaur is safe after all.Trade ReviewAll we've heard about for at least the last decade is The Gruffalo (I know it was first published in 1999, but as with most things it took numerous years to become a household word). It certainly is an outstanding children's book in its own right. Having a small boy (our very own Gruffalo's Child), my husband and I can confidently recite the book from cover to cover (as can our son, an avid reader who has already loved several copies to death).It was therefore a wonderful surprise to come across something as good as The Gruffalo but with Dinosaurs: Gigantosaurus by Jonny Duddle (what a fabulous name for a children's author!).This book has detailed digital illustrations by the author himself. As an illustrator myself, I have to admit that I've not been that wowed by digital art for children, but this one demonstrates that if you know what you're doing you can create the depth and detail that usually only comes from physicalart. The illustrations are readable, original, and very inviting to a three-year-old's imagination. There's also a clever fold out when the 'Gigantosaurus' finally appears - the board book being too small to contain him. Speaking as a book designer, the only drawback for me is that the typography was a little less thought out than the illustrations, the story, and the cover. But this is where my criticism starts and stops. * Green Door *Duddle's prehistoric take on The Boy Who Cried Wolf is enormous fun. The rhyming story rollicks along and with their filmic quality, the digitally created illustrations seem to leap off the page. There's also a fold out page and, to whet the appetites of knowledge seekers, there are snippets of information about the featured dinosaurs on the two final double spreads. Dinosaur style, Duddle has definitely done himself proud. -- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub *

Templar Publishing What a Naughty Bird
Book SynopsisIn this rhyming romp, a naughty bird flies around the world, pooing on other animals, until he goes a step too far... 'The bear didn't like it, you see. And the problem is, that I forgot... A bear can climb a tree.' A hilarious, irreverent rhyming story written by storyteller and award-winning picture book author Sean Taylor.Trade ReviewThis bird has the attitude I think all birds have for humans regarding when they poop, although he takes it too far and is horrid to many animals. I guessed that the bird would learn his lesson with the bear, but what happened was unexpected and hilarious. I doubt the bird will poop on others ever again! The look of mischief on the bear's face and shock on the bird's face is one I won't forget for a while. I love the colour and style of the illustrations which convey more than words can for the feelings of all injured parties. This is a book to be reread many times, and is perfect if you need a pick me up. -- Jessica Pitcairn * nayusreadingcorner *We spotted this striking cover courtesy of Twitter and we wondered just how naughty can this bird be?Then we got our mitts on a copy and found out just how naughty!!!Oh boy, they weren't joking!Meet bird, a very naughty bird, who finds fun in landing a poo on a great, big elephant's head or splatting a big bull right between his horns.In fact, he takes great pleasure in pooing on anyone or indeed, anything.But what happens when this naughty little bird meets his match?With a five-star romping rhyme from the inimitable Sean Taylor and bold, characterful illustrations from Dan Widdowson, this coupling cannot fail to amuse any reader.My six year old was particularly tickled by the birds antics and found much hilarity in the bear's expression when he was targeted. -- picturebooksblogger * picturebooksblogger *
