Milkman Mike books are a delightful children's series for those aged from 2 to 7 years, ideal for those bedtime reads with parents and then when children can read themselves. Milkman Mike lives with his 'big daft dog' Spike in idyllic countryside in the beautiful village of Dairyville and collects his milk from Farmer Cream every morning. Each of the Milkman Mike stories sees Mike and Spike out delivering milk and Spike always ends up being a bit silly along the way. In this first set of 4 books Spike attempts to chase after the runaway bottles, he acts asleep while Mike sees a spaceship, he gets stuck up in a tree and he bursts a football. Everything is solved by Mike with a bottle of milk and a cup of tea. These lovely books are the first in a series that will see further Milkman Mike stories next year. There is already talk of an animated series similar to Postman Pat and Fireman Sam

    Book SynopsisWelcome to the Official Heart of Midlothian Football Club Annual 2024! Hearts are celebrating our 150th anniversary, and this year’s annual is taking you on a tour through time as we chart a century and a half of triumph and adventure as we made our way to the top of the Scottish game. We’ll reflect on the record-breaking Hearts team of 1957/58 that was crowned Champions of Scotland, right through to that glorious day in 1998 when the Jambos brought the Scottish Cup back to Gorgie after a three-decade wait. Whilst bringing the past to life, we’ll keep a keen eye on the present too – charting our travels around Europe as the Jambos returned to group stage European football for the first time in 18 years! Within the pages of this annual we’ll sit down with players from the first team as they lift the lid on their journey at the club, life as a professional footballer, and much more! Of course, it wouldn’t be a Hearts annual without plenty of puzzles, games, and brainteasers to get you thinking. There’s plenty going on around the club and Hearts Women, under the guidance of Eva Olid, are set for another thrilling campaign in the SWPL – going toe-to-toe at the top of the table, with more exciting Capital Cup derbies against Hibs coming up. Homegrown hero Finlay Pollock is also under the spotlight, talking about his career and passing on helpful tips on making it as a pro. From front to back, you’re onto a winner with the Official Hearts Annual 2024!
