A stunningly presented paperback edition of the 2020 CILIP Kate
Greenaway Medal winner. Twenty-five illustrated short stories
exploring the relationship between humans and animals, from
award-winning visual storyteller Shaun Tan. Where can we live if
not in each other's shadow? World-renowned artist Shaun Tan applies
his extraordinary talent to a reflection on the nature of humans
and animals, and our urban co-existence. From animals as disparate
as crocodiles, tigers, bees and whales, this is a dark and surreal
exploration of the perennial love we feel and destruction we
inflict - and shows how animals, whether domestic, feral or really
wild, can save us, and how we are entwined, for better or for
worse. Tales from the Inner City is a truly masterly work, bearing
all of Shaun Tan's trademark wit and poignancy in both its prose
and exquisite illustrations.

A beautiful brand new cased board book version of this classic
picture book by the iconic Janet and Allan Ahlberg. Each Peach Pear
Plum introduces characters from well-known nursery stories, such as
the Three Bears, Mother Hubbard and Tom Thumb, and encourages
children to participate and to find the characters hidden in the
pictures. The text, with its strong rhyme and rhythm, is perfect to
read aloud to very young children, while the game of 'I Spy' keeps
children enthralled.
A joy to read with small children - Independent An uplifting
celebration of nature and the wonder of the world around us by
legendary poet and performer Benjamin Zephaniah, one of The Times'
top 50 British post-war writers. At the bottom of my garden,
there's a hedgehog and a frog, And a lot of creepy-crawlies living
underneath a log . . . All around us, from parks to gardens and
flowerpots to pavements, there's a world of wonder just waiting to
be discovered. Why not look a little closer and see what you find?
This joyful celebration of nature reminds us all to take a closer
look at the world around us, and enjoy the wonder of nature
wherever we find it. Packed with animals and minibeasts galore,
this imaginative rhyming text is perfect for reading aloud.
Quebrado has been traded from pirate ship to ship in the
Caribbean Sea for as long as he can remember. The sailors he toils
under call him "el quebrado"--half islander, half outsider, a
broken one. Now the pirate captain Bernardino de Talavera uses
Quebrado as a translator to help navigate the worlds and words
between his mother's Taino Indian language and his father's
Spanish.
But when a hurricane sinks the ship and most of its crew, it is
Quebrado who escapes to safety. He learns how to live on land
again, among people who treat him well. And it is he who must
decide the fate of his former captors. Latino interest.
