Flooded is the funny and beautifully illustrated tale of animals
who live in a city that is ever so slowly flooding. The flood comes

that they can no longer ignore and they have to work together to
save their city. All the animals join together in a line and pull
out the plug that is drowning the city. This is an exceptionally
illustrated story that teaches a message not to let problems fester
and with a little team work and community spirit, no problem is
insurmountable.

Travel the globe this Christmas, on an inspiring journey through
the animal kingdom. A Song of Gladness is a timely reminder of the
beauty and importance of the natural world from two of today's most
celebrated children's book creators. From a blackbird in a Devon
garden to leopards in the African savanna, hibernating bears and
chimpanzees high in the forest canopy, A Song of Gladness reminds
us all of our connection with nature, and with each other, and the
urgent need for us to join together in caring for the planet and
every creature in it. Former Children's Laureate and CILIP Carnegie
Medal winner Sir Michael Morpurgo's beautiful story is both moving
and full of hope; the illustrations from twice CILIP Kate
Greenaway-winning Emily Gravett are breathtaking. This gorgeous
book is a classic in the making and the perfect Christmas gift for
any animal and nature lover.
