From standout author, Alex Latimer, and bestselling illustrator,
David Litchfield, comes a beautiful picture book about finding -
and holding on to - friendship. One bright afternoon, Pip met Egg.
Pip is a seed from a glorious tree, and Egg is a bird's egg from a
nearby nest. When Pip and Egg first meet, they are almost the same
size and shape - like two peas in a pod. But as their friendship
grows, so do they - for Pip this means growing roots, but for Egg?
Well, Egg grows wings, and she can't wait to use them. Though Pip
wishes he can follow Egg on her adventures, his roots are strong.
So he watches his friend fly away. But true friends always find
their way back to one another, and there are no truer friends than
Pip and Egg. And if there's one thing they learn, it's that the
circle of life will always lead them back to each other. David
Litchfield is the award-winning author/illustrator of The Bear and
the Piano Lyrical, reassuring story that children will love Lush
illustrations filled with warmth and emotion Teaches children about
the value of friendship
Seventeen years in the making, this novel is intended for all ages.
It is about two hamsters trapped in their plastic prison known as a
chummery, Oliver Fluff and his comrade, Smudge McDuff, far from
content at their fate long to escape their mundane and monotonous
existence so common to pet hamsters everywhere, in search of
freedom in the outside world. They escape into an unexpected
underworld of terror, horrible evil and nasty villains, but in the
process discover the value of friendship, the commitments and
sacrifices required, as well as the ultimate satisfaction in
achieving their motivating dream.
Learn that even animals have best friends in this follow-up to The
Not Bad Animals. Someone that's always there for them through thick
and thin, to help them out with all of the usual things that
friends do. You know, like picking ticks off your back, letting you
know when a lion is about to make you its dinner and helping you
hunt down some tasty prey. The animal kingdom is full of odd
couples that prove that sometimes it's better to be together! Like
the rhino and the African Oxpecker, the coyote and the badger, and
the crocodile and the plover bird. This funny and informative book
is a great way to teach your kids about some of the more
interesting partnerships in the natural world, with pop out fact
boxes and hilarious illustrations. Uncover some unlikely
friendships from the world of animals and discover how creatures
get through every day with a little help from their friends. This
book is full of funny facts about animals and symbiotic
relationships for children to explore.
This book is jam-packed with more stickers than there are warts on
a warthog. You'll discover beasts that growl, prowl, claw and roar
and have all sorts of fun sticking them throughout the book. But
wait, there's more! You can also: - Design your own beaver dam -

THE GUARDIAN "[...] gorgeous illustration [...] intricate
monochrome [...] acid-bright touches of colour [...] will prompt
lively discussion." From the creators of the critically acclaimed
The Night Gardener and Ocean Meets Sky comes a whimsical and
elegantly illustrated picture book about community, art, the
importance of giving back - and the wonder that fell from the sky.
It fell from the sky on a Thursday. None of the insects know where
it came from, or what it is. Some say it's an egg. Others, a
gumdrop. But whatever it is, it fell near Spider's house, so he's
convinced it belongs to him. Spider builds a wonderous display so
that insects from far and wide can come to look at the marvel.
Spider has their best interests at heart. So what if he has to
charge a small fee? So what if the lines are long? But as Spider
raises the prices, insects stop showing up, much to Spider's
bemusement. And then, all of a sudden, an unexpected disaster hits
and the marvel disappears! This charming story is accompanied by
characterful illustrations, and also teaches children important
life lessons about greed and the importance of sharing.
Packed with vivid scenes showing garden favourites from a pumpkin
patch to busy butterflies and frolicking foxes. Simply brush water
over the black and white designs to reveal an array of sumptuous
colours.
