Oh, Armadillo! is a hilarious tale exploring the endlessly humorous
mishaps of an Armadillo who wants to host the most amazing party.
Armadillo sets out to please the jungle animals with classic party
treats and games, but everything turns out a little peculiar...
like a sponge cake made of sponges and an actual musical chair!
Children will roar with laughter at the silly scenarios and very
funny mishaps that Armadillo creates whilst planning his party. He
misinterprets the most popular party games, like Pass the Parcel,
in the funniest ways. Oh, Armadillo! combines laugh-out-loud humour
with teaching a gentle lesson that there's nothing wrong with
thinking differently. The jungle animals declare that Armadillo's
party is wrong because everything is a little unusual, but what the
animals learn is that being creative and inventive can lead to fun
and laughter! This bold, bright, hilarious picture book is brought
to life by talented illustrator Rob Starling. Oh, Armadillo! will
provide hours of laughs for little readers, whilst reminding us
that thinking differently is good and can lead to the most fun of
all!

before they know it, they have found quite a different sort of a
house . . . there are bowls, and chairs and sort-of beds . . . plus
some rather unexpected and hilarious inhabitants! From Michael
Rosen, the highly regarded author of We're Going on a Bear Hunt,
comes this wonderful new take on the famous nursery tale,
brilliantly brought to life by David Melling, the creator of
Hugless Douglas.
A funny, colourful story about learning empathy for others and
helping those who may need it from the multi-award-winning creator
of One Fox. The littlest elephant is always in a rush, until a tiny
mouse shows her how to slow down and notice the other creatures in
the jungle, from butterflies and chameleons, to monkeys and a
tiger. The bright and richly illustrated pages will entrance any
child as they follow the littlest elephant on her way to the pool
for a swim.

human neighbours. But trouble soon comes skulking when a very sly
fox starts making a big nuisance of himself. It's up to the Bolds
to try and stop him - but the solution has them foxed...
