GOLD award winner, MadeForMums Awards 2021 Have you ever imagined
what it would be like to have a unicorn for a pet? Besides being
much less angry than a troll and far more conveniently sized than a
giant, unicorns only ever eat ice-cream for breakfast AND... every
time you get upset they feed you candyfloss! In this humorous,
energetically rhyming tale, a little girl experiences exactly what
life would be like with a magical creature for a pet - from
sprinkling stardust on grumpy parents to sliding into football
practice on a rainbow. This book, the latest in the bestselling 'If
I Had...' series, celebrates the magic of unicorns in a way that
will appeal to children who are allergic to pink.
A fun-packed space adventure - with lots of funny details for
little readers to spot, and a BIG fold-out rocket ending! Buckle up
and blast into space with Ivy the inventor, and her trusty canine
sidekick, Eddie... But when Ivy meets some very messy aliens, can
she help them clean up their planet? And, of course, help them fix
their super-duper hundred decker rocket?! A brilliantly inventive
story with a subtle message about keeping our planet clean. From
the creator of The Hundred Decker Bus.

A beautiful brand new hardback edition of one of the greatest
children's books of all time, from the renowned artist William
Nicholson, illustrator of The Velveteen Rabbit. The perfect balance
of words and pictures, this charming story of a busy day and a
forgotten toy paved the way for the modern picture book and still
manages to capture the heart with its winning simplicity and
uniquely gripping story. "A brilliant piece . . . never fails to
grip three- and four-year-olds." Shirley Hughes "Clever Bill, I
have long felt, is among the few perfect picture books for
children." Maurice Sendak Sir William Nicholson was a distinguished
British artist and graphic illustrator. He was renowned for his
images of the famous, from Queen Victoria and Rudyard Kipling to
Mark Twain and Theodore Roosevelt. He illustrated Margery Williams'
classic children's book The Velveteen Rabbit which was published to
great acclaim in 1922. Nicholson went on to write and illustrate
two more children's books, Clever Bill and The Pirate Twins.
Award-winning author and illustrator Charise Mericle Harper
delivers a fantastically funny adventure about doing the
impossible: drawing a horse. The cat wants a horse. The book cannot
draw a horse. The book CAN draw a squirrel, a beaver, and a bunny.
Fun . . . but the cat still wants a horse. Can the quick-draw book
appease the horse-obsessed cat with an impressive collection of
horse-y alternatives (all created from the same "nothing shape")?
Or will the cat finally get a horse? The cat REALLY wants a horse.
