celebrates. This is a heartfelt message to share with the people we
cherish; like a song we have known all our lives, we love them by
heart. I loved you by heart before I even met you. I've always

Double-Talk: Word Sense & Nonsense invites children to explore
homophones and shows them that words can be fun. Pairs of
deliberately ambiguous words are presented in rhyming verse and
illustrations across thirteen double-page spreads. On each spread,

very different images. Readers must study the art to see how the
words relate to the pictures. Serious or silly? Sense or nonsense?
Either way, the readers will learn to study words more carefully.
With the simple surprises spelled out in the illustrations, the
"I-get-it!" smile grows into a full-body giggle. This
laughter-inducing book is ideal for young readers and the adults
that love them. Picture book-ages 0-6.

understanding - and a cuddle - make everything better. In The
Bedtime Frog, Posy goes for a sleepover at Pip's house. The friends
have lots of fun together before bedtime. But just as they switch
out the light, disaster strikes - Posy realises that she has
forgotten her favourite frog toy. Keen to help his distraught
friend, Pip offers Posy a range of different toys to substitute for
her frog, including his own favourite frog money box. But none of
them will do - "That's the wrong frog!" Posy wails. It is only when
Pip gives Posy his own, very favourite, pig toy that Posy is
comforted and the friends can get a good night's sleep, at last.
