Written by the brilliant Julia Donaldson and stunningly illustrated by
the award-winning Sara Ogilvie, The Hospital Dog is a big-hearted tale
about a very special, very brave dog.
Here is a dog, a Dalmatian called Dot,
Is she quite ordinary? NO, SHE’S NOT!
After their breakfast and a swim in the sea, Dot and her owner Rose
jump on the bus to the hospital. Dot loves visiting the children of
Wallaby Ward and they’re always pleased to see her too; from a crying
baby to a bored teenager – a pat, a stroke and a cuddle with Dot cheers
everyone up. But the work of the hospital dog doesn’t stop there and
when one of her patients is in trouble, it’s up to Dot to save the day!
A fantastic rhyming story from the creators of the bestselling picture
book, The Detective Dog – winner of the Books Are My Bag Readers' Award.
Bestselling author Tom Fletcher has re-invented his beloved
Christmas story The Christmasaurus as a rhyming picture-book
adventure for younger readers to enjoy - now in paperback! Santa
and his reindeer live as north as you can go, in a place that's
full of magic (and quite a lot of snow!). But Santa and his
reindeer do not live there on their own, for there's a special
dinosaur that also calls it home . . . The Christmasaurus wants
more than anything to be able to fly, and help pull Santa's sleigh
across the sky on Christmas Eve. But flying turns out to be much
harder than he thought, even with Santa's help! One special
Christmas, however, he falls down a chimney and meets a
dinosaur-obsessed little boy who teaches him the magic of believing
. . . With Shane Devries' breathtaking illustrations, a
pitch-perfect, read-aloud rhyming text and two magical surprise
gate-fold pages, The Christmasaurus Picture Book is the perfect
Christmas gift.
"Presenting a cartographic journey into the world of the
production(s) of disability, this book examines embodiment,
transhumanism, subjectivity, technology and jurisprudence. It
concerns matters of order/disorder and the normal and pathological,
and explores the way stories about wholeness, health, enhancement
and perfection are told"--Provided by publisher.
The instruction book that didn't come with your child. A
comprehensive guide to being the best parent you can be, connecting
and communicating in a conscious and confident way with your
children, so that you can both enjoy a great relationship and you
can help them shine their unique brilliance in the world. This is a
new paradigm, exploring the importance of energetic communication
and kinetic parenting with concepts, philosophies, strategies and
ideas drawn from NLP, hypnotherapy, spiritual practices and the
latest brain and heart research which reveals that we are
communicating far more to our children than we think we are.

My friend Mr Mornington has always lived next door to us. His
favourite things are gardening and eating cherry cake and playing
his saxophone. He's not the best rememberer, though. A little girl
lives next door to Mr Mornington, who has played saxophone all over
the world. These days, he's a bit tired of all that travelling, so
now he plays it just for her. Together, they have a favourite song:
one that conjures up memories of all their favourite things. But
when Mr Mornington moves into a care home, his young friend wonders
if he'll be able to remember her – or any of his favourite things
at all... perhaps there's something she can do to help? This
heartfelt and gently humorous picture book explores the subject of
dementia in an original way. Drawing on themes of music therapy and
the value of community and intergenerational friendship, it has a
warm yet realistic ending that will help readers to process their
own feelings of loss. Includes Mr Mornington's famous cherry cake
recipe at the back of the book, so you can try one of his favourite
things.
