An entertaining and charming story about an eccentric, loveable
family - 'Endearingly funny' 5-star review, Telegraph Chloe Deal is
observant. Every day she notices small details - like how Front
Door always refuses to open when it's raining; how whatever task he
sets out to do, Daddy usually ends up snoozing to the radio in his
shed; how her younger sister Daisy muddles her similes but never
her fashion sense, and how Mummy's nostrils flare when Dad forgets
to mow the lawn, again. So when Chloe starts a school project about
her house, she ends up cataloguing the chaotic balancing act of her
family along with it. In the run up to the school holidays (and
Chloe's birthday), disaster follows disaster at home and school.
Mummy's patience is beginning to unravel. Can Chloe get the house,
her siblings and her father in shape before it's too late?

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!
