From long johns to bloomers, Y-fronts to boxers - Animal Pants is
quite simply packed with pants! There's a cat who buys her pants
from a catalogue and a frog who wears pants when he's off for a
jog. Not to mention a penguin with frozen pants, or the
difficulties of finding undies for an octopus. With an infectious
rhyming text from the brilliant Brian Moses, and wonderfully
entertaining artwork by Anja Boretzki, there's a giggle guaranteed
on every page.
Thirteen-year-old Martin and his younger brother Charlie are on a very special journey. They're going to be travelling 421 miles all the way from Preston to the very tip of Cornwall. By train, bus and taxi, they are determined to get there in the end; and they're hoping to catch a glimpse of the dolphin that regularly visits the harbour there. But is that the only reason they are going?
It's a journey that's full of challenges and surprises. Martin adores his brother Charlie but he's not like ordinary kids. He's one in a million. He was born far too early, and ought to have died. And cheeky, irrepressible, utterly unique Charlie is always keeping Martin on his toes - especially on this crazy trip they are now on. Martin is doing his best to be a good big brother, but it's hard when there's something so huge coming once they get to Cornwall ...
An unforgettable novel that is by turns funny and heartbreaking.
A wonderful collection of poems--some well-known, others not. Mary
Burt's brief introductions to each poem heighten ones enjoyment.
Children, parents and grandparents will love dipping into this
book. Printed on acid free paper and sturdily bound for generations
of pleasure.

'Joshua Seigal is definitely my new favourite poet.' (Books for Keeps)
'Joshua Seigal is a rising star in the children's poetry world...' (lovereading4kids)
With poems on every topic from demon cats to why you should NEVER forget your trousers, this is a must-have new collection from Joshua Seigal, whose previous book for this age group, I Don't Like Poetry, was shortlisted for 2017 Laugh Out Loud Awards.
This collection is a wonderful mix for Joshua Seigal's subversive humour and brilliant insight into children's perspectives on the world. Get ready for the craziness to begin!
A girl travels the path to her future in this powerful
coming-of-age collection. Exploring relationships, deep feelings
and the comfort of words, we follow her as she grows up -
determined to find the freedom to be herself. This is an
outstanding young teen collection by a poet at the height of her
powers, with striking graphic illustrations by Milo Hartnoll.
Ogden Nash is in top form with this rollicking poem about an
aardvark who boards a boat to escape the biblical flood. Arrogant
and vain, Aardvark wins few friends among the other animals
squeezed aboard the crowded vessel--until he uses his tongue to
save the ark and all of its passengers. Nash's wit and whimsy shine
through this re-imagining of Noah's Ark. The delightful
illustrations by Wendy Wilson paired with Nash's quotable verse
will put a twinkle in the eyes of the young and the young-at-heart
alike.
