This delightful rhyming picture book follows a family as they
explore London, one of the world's most famous capital cities!
Come! Board the London Bus and see the London sights with us. At
any time, hop off, explore! Then climb back on, and ride some
more... As a family of four spend a day exploring London, fun,
child-friendly poems introduce readers to our wonderful capital
city, and all its secrets. Well-known landmarks like Buckingham
Palace, Big Ben and the London Eye, plus inescapable features like
rain and taking tea, all get Patty Toht's witty treatment.
Non-fiction facts provide more information about the poetry
subjects, while rising star Sam Usher brings them to life with his
signature style and humour. This gorgeous celebration of London
will be loved by both tourists and those who call the city home.

In his new verse novel, Joseph Coelho brilliantly blends Greek myth
with a 21st century quest. In Ancient Greece Theseus makes a
dangerous and courageous journey to find his father, finally
meeting the Minotaur in the Labyrinth. While Theo, a modern-day
teenage boy, finds himself on a maze-like quest to find his own
father. Each story tells of a boy becoming a man and discovering
what true manhood really means. The path to self-discovery takes
Theo through 'those thin spaces where myth, magic and reality
combine'. Doubts, difficulties and dangers must be faced as Theo
discovers the man he will become.
'Thy Servant a Dog and other Dog stories' brings together a
delightful selection of Kipling short stories and poems. The first
three tales, Thy Servant a Dog, The Great Play Hunt and Toby Dog,
are narrated by the Black Aberdeen Terrier Boots, and concern the
adventures of himself and his canine friends Slippers, Ravager and
Toby, their wars with Kitchen Cat and their incomprehension of the
ways of the humans in their lives. A Sea Dog is a nautical tale
about Malachi, who sees action in the North Sea, and Teem - a
Treasure-Hunter tells of a little French dog with a nose for
truffles. The collection also includes three poems, The
Supplication of the Black Aberdeen, His Apologies and The Power of
the Dog (included for the first time). This new edition includes
many of the original charming black-and-white illustrations by G.
L. Stampa and Cecil Aldin and is sure to entertain a whole new
generation of children and dog-lovers.
