Cronus the Titan was lots of things: he was huge, powerful and the
ruler of the cosmos. He was also very mean. Cronus would do
anything to protect his throne, but one day his wife Rhea plays a
trick on him which will lead to the biggest battle the universe had
ever seen, and a betrayal from Cronus own son: Zeus, king of the
Olympians. Find out just how far Zeus will go to defeat his own
father in this epic tale of one-eyed beasts, many armed monsters,
and lots and lots of lightning bolts.
Here are a few stories that will stretch your imagination. A story
about a young mink trying to find his way. Things get a little
mixed up when he tries to solve his problems on his own. A story
about a little girl finding out that letting her light shine is a
good thing. But the love for her brother is most important. A story
about a quiet man who's good deeds let people know he has a big
heart, but situations change his life in ways he never dreamed were
possible. A story about a mother who learns that getting to know
the past is important for her future and the future of her
children. A story about a girl who gets to know her family in ways
she didn't know she could. She learns that the stories her
grandmother told her are more than just stories. There is also a
couple of tall tails just for fun.

Six magical sisters clean the carpets in their big house by flying
them joyfully around the town. Seeing this, the Prince of the
province demands that the sisters teach him how to fly the carpets,

palace, leaving the sisters with nothing but old blankets and bath
mats, which the sisters fly with equal joy.

branches and you might just see some little people who stand as
tall as your thumb and have heads the size of hazelnuts. Sylvia

hiding place. As Sylvia and the bird become friends, can she learn
that sometimes, things are better when you have someone to share
them with? This beautiful debut is a tribute to community and
friendship. Sunday Times Children's Book to Watch Out for - This
charming debut picture book is about tiny people who live in trees,
a baby starling and the joys of nature and of making friends. It is
illustrated with a naivety that is both elegant and child-friendly.
