Nothing is sweeter, as everyone knows, than tiny baby fingers and
chubby baby toes! All over the world, babies are different. Yet in
some ways they are very much the same: each one has ten little
fingers and ten little toes - to play with, to tickle, to wave. And
each child is very, very special to its parents... With Mem Fox's
gently rhyming text illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, best loved as
the illustrator of the classic nursery join-in picture book We're
Going on a Bear Hunt, Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes will
fast become the essential book for baby playtime - and the perfect
gift for a new arrival!
The Great Big Book of Feelings allows children to explore how
they're feeling in a safe and judgement free environment. Featuring
funny artwork and wonderfully sensitive and accessible text this
book celebrates each emotion for what it is and encourages children
to discuss how they're feeling instead of bottling it all up. How
are you feeling today? Happy? Sad? Excited? Scared? We all
experience lots of different emotions. Sometimes we can feel angry
or silly, and sometimes we might feel jealous or upset. There are
even times when we might feel lonely or worried. However you feel,
sharing and talking about your feelings will make you feel better.
This fresh, optimistic look at all the feelings we experience
explores feelings in family life, at school and everywhere with
warmth, wit and sensitivity. Featuring lots of different children
in various situations, brief text captions and questions and plenty
of humour, this is the go to book to learn about feelings.

Ben loves grizzly bears so much that he wants a real one for his
birthday. Instead, he gets a toy cuddly bear. Making the best of
the situation, Ben tries to teach Cuddly Bear how to eat honey,
fish and climb a tree like a grizzly bear. However, Cuddly Bear is
soon covered in honey, soggy and stuck in a tree! Every time the
toy bear cannot do something, Ben gets more and more grizzly. So
completely grizzly that he grows furry ears, a shiny black nose,
paws, a furry coat, claws and a round tail. Ben becomes a grizzly
bear. What will it take for Grizzly Ben to become Ben again? We are
thrilled to publish the first picture book from best-selling,
awardwinning illustrator Alex Ayliffe and successful screen, radio
writer and author Alan Dapre. This gorgeously quirky tale of a
grumpy and grizzly little boy will capture your heart, with Alex's
illustrations, which are full of energy and vitality, taking the
reader on a familiar journey from tantrums to tucked up in bed. A
story with relatable themes of companionship, friendship, feelings,
emotions and love. Perfect for your grizzly little bears.
Ted the dragon lives all alone in a big house, deep in the woods. He
LOVES making things, spending his days baking cakes, painting pictures
and creating costumes. There's just one problem: he doesn't have anyone
to share his amazing creations with.
Ted tries so hard to make friends with the other animals, but there's
something about his fiery breath and fearsome-looking claws that keeps
putting them off.
One day Ted notices a sign for a summer picnic party in the forest. The
only trouble is that it's for BEARS ONLY. Perhaps if he dresses up as a
bear for the day they'll let him in and he'll make lots of new friends.
What could possibly go wrong?
Just Being Ted is a sweet, heart-warming story about the importance of
being yourself and being accepted for who you are.

Freddy is certainly not a Teddy, but that won't stop him from being
the star of the Teddy Bears' Picnic in this inspiring story about
inclusion, friendship and staying true to yourself. Freddy is
Jonah's favourite stuffed toy, but no one knows quite what Freddy
is - a funky duck, a peculiar platypus, a punk rock penguin? When
Jonah's teacher announces that they're going to have a Teddy Bears'
Picnic, it seems that if Jonah wants to take Freddy, Freddy will
have to go in disguise! Jonah and Freddy try all of their best
Teddy Bear disguises, but nothing can quite cover up the fact that
Freddy is a little different. What should Jonah do? He loves
Freddy, but should he still take Freddy to the picnic if he doesn't
look like all the other teddies? Find out what happens when Jonah
stands up for himself and for his beloved Freddy in a heart-warming
story that will resonate with any child who has ever felt like
they're a little different. A celebration of inclusivity and being
kind to others, Freddy the Not-Teddy will inspire young readers to
express themselves just as they are!
