They're called Indestructibles. They could just as well be called
the unstoppables! As in they don't stop selling, don't stop
pleasing, and don't stop filling an essential need for new parents:
a book made for the way babies "read," with their hands and mouths.
And now this bestselling series - which ships over 1 million copies
every year - is welcoming two new titles based on two of the most
popular songs that parents love to sing along with their youngest.
Each is illustrated in a bright, lively, colourful style, by the
artist Vanja Karguli. Moving from country to town, The Wheels on
the Bus sends parents and their kids on an adventure that everyone
loves to act out, from the wipers that go swish swish swish and the
horn that goes beep beep beep to the people that go shh shh shh to
the babies who cry wah wah wah. As they say, it's all about the
journey, not the destination.

It is 1937 and tensions are high. A spectacular air race around
Europe seeks to promote unity among a group of young pilots, but
distrust and animosity are rife. The British and sole female
contestant, Stella North, is determined to prove not only her
skill, but also her identity as her Nansen passport declares her
'stateless'. However, barely a few hours in, Stella is witness to a
horrifying attack when a contestant's plane is forced out of the
air and crashes. Was this the work of another competitor desperate
to win? Was the attack random or premeditated and, most
importantly, will it happen again? With the competition heating up
and the death ruled an accident, Stella is left to form her own
investigation. Can she find allies among her fellow competitors or
will suspicion and deceit bring them all down? An exhilarating rush
of a novel, with all the twists and turns we've come to expect from
the award-winning Elizabeth Wein.
A railway adventure in a transport museum. The children spend the

museum is filled with smoke, steam and noise...and policemen!
With sing-along song from David Gibb, Lollies Award-winning

drive? Jam-packed with lorries, trucks, cars, motorbikes and all
kinds of vehicles! Sing along with a QR code link to the official
Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry song by David Gibb! 'Dares to dive deep
into a magnificent fiasco, a delight for the youngest of truck
aficionados' KIRKUS 'A celebration of traffic jam-packed with fun.

just as entertaining for the rest of the family too'
