Wilfred is a young magical apprentice determined to become the best and most wise wizard that ever was. Unfortunately for him, he's not very good. He's got the raw talent, but he doesn't concentrate! In fact, he's become (rather unkindly) known as 'Wilfred the UNwise'.And when one of Wilf's spells goes badly wrong, he's suddenly in more trouble than ever before.

She's not so sure, but agrees that they'll have to work together to try to work out how to get Wilf back to his own time. If only Wilf would stop messing around! Can these two young magicians work together, or will Wilf be stuck here forever?Trade ReviewTime-travelling wizards and marvellous magical mayhem - what's not to like?! * Jo Cotterill *Hugely original and wildly funny, a true page turner that will delight any child. * Jacqueline Wilson (Praise for HARVEY DREW AND THE BIN MEN FROM OUTER SPACE) *Brilliant -so inventive and imaginative * Jacqueline Wilson *

Book SynopsisWhen a boy brings his pterodactyl to school for show-and-tell, hilarious havoc ensues. The creature's delightfully demented antics, the kids' expressions as they try to avoid the hungry pterodactyl, and the out-of-control imagination of the boy yield a wild and wacky romp. Kids who dig dinosaurs will devour this preposterous pterodactyl tale written in rhyming couplets and teeming with edgy school-age humor and giggle-inducing illustrations.Trade Review"The rhyming is fun, but the pictures sell it in this book; the expressive, goofy-faced pterodactyl is never a threatening figure, which makes the reactions from classmates and faculty even funnier. Watching a winged dinosaur upend the school from classroom to cafeteria is likely every kid's dream, and will go over in a big way here. Absolutely fun readingwho doesn't love a dinosaur?" Rosemary, https://momreadit.wordpress.com"When a boy brings his pet pterodactyl for show-and-tell, chaos reigns in the third grade... Have your teacher read this the day before show-and-tell: Any pet will be more than welcome... as long as it's not a pterodactyl." Kirkus Reviews"I think what children will really like about this book are the big, bold, and colorful illustrations that show the playfulness of the Pterodactyl as it carries on its day completely oblivious to the chaos it is creating. They'll be amused from cover to cover. Dinosaur-loving kids will surely love this book. It's a funny and sneakily educational tale making it a great book for school and home bookshelves." Christa McGrath, http://edwardsbookclub.com"This is a cute children's book with wonderful illustrations that reflect what happens when you take a Pterodactyl to school. I think children will enjoy the illustrations and the simple story line. It even has a few moments that made me laugh out loud. We give it 5 paws up." Leslie, https://storeybookreviews.com"...a fabulous children's book.... In addition to the skillful wordsmithing of this story, I absolutely LOVE the illustrations!... absolutely delightful! A must for every family's library." Nina Lewis, review: https://grandmaideas.com/"Giggles are guaranteed in this silly yet somewhat edgy story of a pet many kids would enjoying owing... at least, in their dreams... a fun read, packed with imagination..." Tonja Drecker, https://bookwormforkids.blogspot.com/"Kids really like books where things, people, kids, or animals get eaten. They just do. Get used to it. This book not only fulfills that basic urge, it also includes dinosaurs, so pretty much the two best things ever! ...Verdict: If, like me, you like to have things-being-eaten-themed storytimes, this is a definite addition to that delightful genre." Jennifer Wharton, https://jeanlittlelibrary.blogspot.com"...very highly recommended for family, elementary school, and community library picture book collections."

Book Synopsis“What does Dudley do all day while we’re away?” Sam wonders. Mom explains that Dudley does ordinary dog things: he eats, naps, guards the house, and plays. But in Sam’s mind, Dudley’s day at home is anything but ordinary. Delightful digital paintings depict the human activities Sam imagines Dudley is doing – which don’t quite match Mom’s explanations. Dudley’s Day at Home is a funny, fetching picture book that uses minimal text and maximal visual storytelling to share a day in a dog’s life.Trade Review"When Sam asks and Mom answers, a fun picture of what Sam imagines their darling dog does when they're away from home unfolds. And from his innocent question and mom's generic answer come these brilliantly-joyful illustrations that completely capture Sam's incredible imagination that has Dudley doing all sorts of entertaining and crazy-fun people stuff while they are away." Barbara Gruener, Corner on Character"This book is a wonderful and visually appealing story for young children between 3 and 7 years of age. It is small on words and big on pictures. It is colourful, creative, and full of adventure; with a really sweet ending that highlights the relationship between a child and a dog." Christa McGrath, Edwards Book Club Reviews"Bright, cheerful cartoons contrast Sam and Dudley's days, in reality and imagination, and offer plenty of scope for extension activities. This makes a delightful storytime read, but teachers and parents will also find it a great choice for a writing or drawing prompt." Jennifer Wharton, Jean Little Library" Dudley's Day at Home is a funny, fetching picture book by author/storyteller Karen Kaufman Orloff that uses minimal text and maximal visual storytelling to share a day in a dog's life. Very highly recommended..." Midwest Book Review

Book Synopsis* Clever, funny, and true--really.-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)* The animals, rendered expressively by Bliss, learn what kids already know and adults too easily forget: the capacity to say I'm sorry--and mean it--is no small thing.--PW (starred review)A sweet and thoughtful picture book about how one act of kindness can change the world, written by publishing legend Joanna Cotler and illustrated by New York Times bestseller Harry Bliss.Cow was in a nasty mood. When Duck came along Cow kicked mud in her face.Why'd you do that? asked Duck.I felt like it, said Cow. And I'm not sorry.Little did Cow know that her bad mood would spread to the whole farm. But it does when Cow passes her anger along to Duck who takes it out on Frog who is mean to Bird who upsets Goat who bothers Pig.

Book SynopsisHere is a Cinderella story like no other. When Cinderella wishes for a fairy godmother, she’s not expecting one that barks! And this fairy dogmother has a different agenda. Yes, Cinderella will have a new dress, but made of a cosy dog blanket. Yes, they will go to the ball, but they will run there and chase squirrels along the way. There’s nothing like a canine companion to get a girl out of the house and her mind off her troubles! Yes, indeed, dogs do make everything better - and are a reminder that you don’t need “happily ever after” when you have the joy of now. Readers will get a kick out of this retelling with its lovable cast of characters and refreshing ending.Trade Review“Who doesn’t love a good “furry tail”? . . . ‘Cinderella’ details get ‘doggified,’ and the ball ends up being a howl in more ways than one. Spoiler alert: There’s a twist on the glass-slipper-leading-to-marriage ending. Not to worry. This one’s much better—and involves squirrels. This rollicking story will arouse plenty of giggles as young readers enumerate the ways in which it veers from the original. Adults can encourage little ones to think of how ‘Cinderella’ might work with other animals subbing in for the fairy godmothers. The imaginative, colorful digital illustrations burst with energy and expressiveness. . . . The brown, floppy-eared, tutu-wearing dogmother is adorably memorable. A barking good time will be had by all.” —Kirkus Reviews“Although the jaunty text ruff-ly follows the traditional tale, in the end, Cinderella exhibits independence with a prince she likes but doesn’t know well enough to marry. Cheery, cartoonish illustrations lend to the cleverness in this feminist, fractured fairy tale.” —Booklist“Something gets hilariously lost in translation in Bailey’s fairy tale retelling, in which a cat lady Cinderella makes a wish for a fairy godmother and instead gets a pink-tutued fairy dogmother (‘WOOF!’). . . . Additional humor abounds in Hartas’s depictions of Cinderella’s multiple cats and the exuberant pack of palace pooches who bowl Cinderella over with kisses.” —Publishers Weekly
