This funny whodunnit by Ellie Patterson, with vibrant illustrations
from debut illustrator Gabriela Gil, is a story about right and
wrong and the joy that comes from making amends. Who ate the
bunnies’ birthday cake? Was it Tiger? Or Rhino? Or maybe that
flamingo covered in icing?! Follow eight unhappy bunnies on an
adventure to find the culprit behind their birthday cake heist.
Children will love this cake-filled caper that explores an
important message about owning up to your mistakes and coming clean
when you’ve done something wrong. Just like Press Here by Hervé
Tullet, Bunny Slopes by Claudia Rueda and Don't Wake the Dragon by
Bianca Schulze and Samara Hardy, this interactive picture book will
engage children long beyond story time.
"How I long to sail!" said the tiny snail. The Snail and the Whale
is a delightful tale of adventure and friendship by the
unparalleled picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Axel
Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo. One little snail longs to see
the world and hitches a lift on the tail of an enormous whale.
Together they go on an amazing journey, past icebergs and
volcanoes, sharks and penguins, and the little snail feels so small
in the vastness of the world. But when disaster strikes and the
whale is beached in a bay, it's the tiny snail's big plan that
saves the day. This edition features the classic story with a
stunning, redesigned cover and beautiful finish, making it a
must-have addition to the bookshelves of all Donaldson and
Scheffler fans – big and small! Also available with redesigned
covers are: The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo's Child, Room on the Broom,
The Smartest Giant in Town, Monkey Puzzle, Charlie Cook's Favourite
Book, and A Squash and a Squeeze.

the answer from a set of several options, or to complete the word
with the correct spelling. They are designed to test a child’s
vocabulary and spelling. This book covers the three main question
styles of cloze tests: Word Bank, Multiple Choice and Partial
Words. There are six tests in each question style, each containing
around 25 questions. The online Peer-Compare system helps identify
areas for improvement and gauge progress relative to other children
taking the same tests. For further information about how this
system works, see the inside front cover. Extensively road-tested
