A hilarious collection of pet poems by wordplay wizard Brian Bilston.
When you've got a bad case of the 'mews' and are in desperate need of a
'pup'-lifting read, this book is the 'ulti-mutt' remedy.
Please don’t think me lazy,
I’m not trying to slack –
it’s just that I’m stuck, you see,
under this cat.
This collection of poems focuses on the hilarious happenings in the
lives of our furry - and not so furry - friends. Stars include Wilf,
the hypnotist Labracadabrador, a philosophically inclined goldfish
penning a profound haiku, a hen named Barbara receiving an adoring
tribute, and an 'octopussy' cat that seems to have all its paws in
plenty of odd little pies.
The perfect gift for a dog person, cat person and every pet lover in
between.

A New York Times bestseller and one of 2019's best-reviewed books,
a poetic memoir and call to action from the award-winning author of
Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson! Bestselling author Laurie Halse
Anderson is known for the unflinching way she writes about, and
advocates for, survivors of sexual assault. Now, inspired by her
fans and enraged by how little in our culture has changed since her
groundbreaking novel Speak was first published twenty years ago,
she has written a poetry memoir that is as vulnerable as it is
rallying, as timely as it is timeless. In free verse, Anderson
shares reflections, rants, and calls to action woven between deeply
personal stories from her life that she's never written about
before. Described as "powerful," "captivating," and "essential" in
the nine starred reviews it's received, this must-read memoir is
being hailed as one of 2019's best books for teens and adults. A
denouncement of our society's failures and a love letter to all the
people with the courage to say #MeToo and #TimesUp, whether aloud,
online, or only in their own hearts, SHOUT speaks truth to power in
a loud, clear voice-- and once you hear it, it is impossible to
ignore.

Want a close encounter of the absurd kind? Then blast off with
these asteroides from across the looney-verse.
In this classic Dr. Seuss tale, it’s time for Marvin K. Mooney to go to bed… but will he get the message?
Some people just won’t take the hint when it’s time to go to bed, and Marvin K. Mooney is one of them… although he eventually gets the message! This fun tale by Dr. Seuss will delight young readers and remind them that they sometimes have to do what they are told…
With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranking among the UK’s top ten favourite children’s authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with over 600 million books sold worldwide.
As part of a major rebrand programme, HarperCollins is relaunching Dr. Seuss’s bestselling books, including such perennial favourites as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks. In response to consumer demand, the bright new cover designs incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels, with the standard paperbacks divided into three reading strands – Blue Back Books for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. ‘Marvin K. Mooney will you Please Go Now!’ belongs to the Green Back Book range.
Kate Greenaway's 'Mother Goose Or The Old Nursery Rhymes' was
originally published in 1881, it contains many nursery rhymes and
tales together with her beautiful illustrations. Many of the
earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works
in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original
text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of
children. About the Illustrator: Kate Greenaway (1846-1901) was one
of the earliest contributors to children's literature and, along
with her contemporaries Walter Crane and Randolph Caldecott, was
amongst the most influential illustrators in the development of
children's colour picture books. Her collaboration in 1876 with
Edmund Evans who reproduced her paintings using hand-engraved wood
blocks brought her much popularity. She has enchanted people, young
and old, for over one hundred years with her watercolour
illustrations of sweet, charming eighteenth century children with
their quaint costumes and idyllic scenes. In recognition of her
lifetime work, the Chartered Institute of Library and Information
Professionals of Great Britain established an award in her name in
1955 and to receive the Kate Greenaway Medal today is considered
the highest accolade a British illustrator can be given.
