Join Jade, Catty and Butty in Grandma's pretty garden as a small
caterpillar discovers how he can fly through the air.
Official World Book Day GBP1 book From Michael Morpurgo, co-founder
of the charity Farms for City Children, this charming story for
early readers evokes the wonder, muck and magic of a week on the
farm. The first of many Farm Tales to come, it is a window onto the
countryside, and the way its landscape and animals can leave an
impression on a child's heart forever. 'You're farmers for a week,
so you'll be busy. There'll be no time to miss home. You'll eat
like kings and queens, sleep like logs, and you'll hardly be out of
your wellies, except in bed.' When a young boy goes from the city
to stay on the farm, he discovers a world he never knew existed - a
world of vegetable gardens, ducks and geese, where the sheep graze
in the fields, where apples and pears grow in the orchard. He also
meets Jemima the pig: she smells and she slobbers, she breaks out
of her pen to steal potatoes, and she's the undisputed queen of the
farm. Soon, he's hiding acorns in his pockets to feed to her every
time he sees her. But then, Jemima starts to feel ill. Could she
have eaten too many acorns? Or does this queen of a pig have a
secret...?

The brand-new HEARTWARMINGLY HILARIOUS children's picture book from
NUMBER ONE bestselling David Walliams. Illustrated by artistic
genius Tony Ross. Meet Geronimo - the baby penguin who has one
dream and one dream only - and that is to fly! But everyone knows
penguins can't fly... or can they? With a little help from his dad
and friends, baby Geronimo discovers that even the wildest of
dreams can come true. A delightfully topsy-turvy book with an
uplifting message about following your dreams - another
blockbusting classic from David Walliams and Tony Ross! There are
lots of funny pictures of penguins in this book, but please note
any mention of 'free' penguins on the back cover is a joke and as

SING like no-one is listening, SOMETIMES, they start to hear you...
The perfect story for anyone who loves to laugh or sing, this
brand-new story from David Walliams is a delightfully wonderful
warble about doing what makes you HAPPY, and being LOUD about it!
