Pulled by a thread through a fog, Mowzl arrives in the human world
from a future time. In his home world Mowzl is a real mouse; here
in the human world he is a toy - but alive, with a heart and
feelings. He is found by Pip and LuLu, who are grown-ups, and LuLu
makes him a woolen pouch in which he can fly. He talks with wild
creatures and is upset to learn that the world is being badly
damaged by what humans are doing. In his home world there are no
humans to be seen and the world, or "wild web", is healthy. Mowzl
needs Pip to write his story to help him remember where he came
from and how to get back, and Pip writes everything that happens.
When Mowzl meets two children called Billy and Larky, they find
that they can understand the wild talk too, but only when they are
with the mouse, because of his magic. They are excited to learn
from creatures about the wild web, and they want to do something to
help. Billy and Larky soon get their friends involved, and they all
listen to the stories that Mowzl tells. Gradually, the mystery of
what happened to Mowzl before the fog is revealed. The Adventures
of Horatio Mowlz is an illustrated children's story that reflects
on the impacts human activity is having on the environment, whilst
taking readers on an adventure they will not forget.
After more than two decades as musician and cultural troublemaker, Joe Kitchen (also known as “Koos Kombuis”) has discovered a new niche as author of books for young people.
Hubert the Useless Unicorn is a fun-filled modern version of the ancient ugly duckling tale, and is a self-illustrated publication that will be enjoyed not only by children, but by everybody who is young at heart!

A hilarious exploration of grumpiness: this is a book for any child
who has ever woken up to find everything unreasonably annoying.
Today is a terrible day for Wolfie: it's cloudy (there is a single
cloud), the water in the bubble bath is ice cold, there aren't
enough chocolate chips in the cookies and everyone else is having a
nice day (lucky them). No one understands Wolfie at school. But
then Penguin comes along... and she does understand. Suddenly
things start to get a whole lot better. This is a story
about how when you're feeling misunderstood, sometimes all it takes
to change your perspective completely, is a like-minded friend. A
wonderful, and relatable story about the loneliness that comes with
feeling grumpy and how a friend can give a rain cloud day, a sunny
new spin. Funny for both children and adults alike - while
children will delight at the funny dissonance between text and
image, the parents will recognise the all too relatable tale of
out-of-proportion toddler grumpiness.Â
