"Roger McGough's witty text offers many weird and wonderful
explanations ... Chris Riddell's artwork makes the whole an
imaginative feast" - Bookseller Runner-up for the English
Association 4-11 Award for the Best Children's Picture Book.
Nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal. From the minds of the
former Children's Laureate Chris Ridell, and award-winning fellow
of the Royal Society of Literature Roger McGough, comes a
fun-filled book about how things work. Have you ever wondered how a
toaster works? Or a fridge-freezer, or a washing-up machine? In
this fun-filled book of how things work, Dudley, the techno-wizard
dog, provides the answers. Roger McGough's delightfully ingenious
text and Chris Riddell's striking illustrations take children from
the furthest realms of fantasy into the fascinating world of
technology to discover the workings of familiar machines, making it
an exciting book which will delight again and again. At first, it
describes how a child thinks things work... (gnomes in the toaster)
and then Dudley tells you how the various household appliances
really work. Includes all the appliances a curious child would be
interested in: the dishwasher, the fridge-freezer and more. A
funny, imaginative 'how things work' book for ages 4-7.

The second installment of Scott Westerfeld’s international bestselling
Uglies series – the global phenomenon that started the dystopian trend.
In Tally’s world, looks are all that matters. And now that she’s
finally undertaken the surgery to become a ‘Pretty’, everything seems
perfect: her looks are flawless, her clothes are cool, her boyfriend is
totally gorgeous, and she's completely popular.
But beneath the fun of non-stop parties, high-tech luxury and apparent
total freedom, Tally can’t stop a nagging sense that something is
wrong. Something important. Then a message from her ‘Ugly’ past
arrives, forcing Tally to remember the truth she learned before her
transformation, and the fun stops cold. Because the true price of this
perfect world is more than Tally is willing to pay…

They're called Indestructibles. They could just as well be called
the unstoppables! As in they don't stop selling, don't stop
pleasing, and don't stop filling an essential need for new parents:
a book made for the way babies "read," with their hands and mouths.
And now this bestselling series - which ships over 1 million copies
every year - is welcoming two new titles based on two of the most
popular songs that parents love to sing along with their youngest.
Each is illustrated in a bright, lively, colourful style, by the
artist Vanja Karguli. Moving from country to town, The Wheels on
the Bus sends parents and their kids on an adventure that everyone
loves to act out, from the wipers that go swish swish swish and the
horn that goes beep beep beep to the people that go shh shh shh to
the babies who cry wah wah wah. As they say, it's all about the
journey, not the destination.
Live from the Crypt is an hilarious information series with an
undead chat show format where ghostly historical figures are
interviewed by the diverse crew of the show about their lives and
experiences, featuring quirky illustrations, comic strips and play
script-style text. In this volume, the ghosts of famous pioneers of
the science of electricity are interviewed about their inventions
and discoveries, including Thomas Edison, Michael Faraday and
Nikola Tesla. It is a mind-expanding and side-splitting treat for
young readers.
