Hungry Jungle is a fun, interactive board book in which children
can choose what to feed the pop-out jungle animals - pick from four
'dangly' food items, hanging from the spine of the book. Gorilla,
Toucan, Frog and Sloth are all hungry, but what will you feed them?
In this innovative title, you get to decide! The animals wait with
with their mouths open (a cleverly designed v-fold pop-up), eagerly
awaiting a tasty treat. Children can choose which snack (a 'dangly'
hanging from the spine of the book) they will feed to each animal.
Bright and bold colours and characterful illustrations help bring
this title to life, as children can play with the different
permutations again and again! Feeding Time is a delightful series
of pre-school books which encourage young children to engage with
the book and converse with the parent or carer, form connections
between the animal characters and what they like to eat, and to
practice hand-eye coordination through play. They can choose to
either pick the correct food to give each animal, or can engage in
'silly play' by offering knowingly inappropriate foods to each
character.

that's a secret. In the seventh book in the series, Snowy the polar
bear has lots of birthday party ideas and is being a bit bossy! Can
Zoe help the other animals understand that he just wants to have
fun?

Oscar the pufferfish lives in a city under the sea with his mum and dad. He loves playing with his friends and going to school but there are times when he gets scared or stressed and in those times he tends to ‘pop’.
Like when he’s playing tag with his friends, John and Josh who are better at it than Oscar. He’s already made his mind up that he’s lost and when he gets a fright he puffs up and is now embarrassed. Feeling sad, Oscar heads for home, worried about what his friends will think of him and believing that he is good for nothing. But it’s while he’s going home that he bumps into Phoebe, a girl pufferfish, and the two become stuck together. It’s up to his mum and dad, and Josh and John, to show Oscar that he is actually a pretty smart and amazing fish and all he needs to do is to stop comparing himself to others and understand that he is good enough just as he is.
The Adventures of Oscar the Pufferfish: Owning My Pop is a great story for young children, to show them that we all have a place and that comparing ourselves to others will never allow us to see our own strengths
