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.
Embark on a thrilling fourth adventure in the bestselling,
prize-winning Adventures on Trains series - Danger at Dead Man's
Pass, from M. G. Leonard and Sam Sedgman, as Harrison Beck
investigates an ancient family curse high in the German mountains.
Illustrated in black-and-white throughout by Elisa Paganelli. A
mysterious letter from an old friend asks Hal and Uncle Nat to help
investigate a spooky supernatural mystery. Legend has it the
Kratzensteins, a family of rich and powerful railway tycoons, are
cursed, but there is no such thing as a curse, is there . . .? Hal
and Nat take the night train to Berlin and go undercover. From a
creaking spooky old house at the foot of the Harz mountains, they
take the Kratzenstein family's funeral train to the peak of the
Brocken Mountain. Can Hal uncover the secrets of the Brocken
railway and the family curse before disaster strikes? Danger at
Dead Man's Pass can be read as a stand-alone novel, or enjoyed as
part of the Adventures on Trains series. Join Hal and Uncle Nat on
more stops in this thrilling series with: The Highland Falcon
Thief, Kidnap on the California Comet, Murder on the Safari Star
and Sabotage on the Solar Express. Praise for the Series: 'Like
Murder on the Orient Express but better!' - Frank Cottrell-Boyce on
The Highland Falcon Thief 'A thrilling and hugely entertaining
adventure story' - David Walliams on The Highland Falcon Thief 'A
first class choo-choo-dunnit!' - David Solomons on Kidnap on the

newest, through tunnels, across bridges and up mountainsides, take

new book from illustrator James Gulliver Hancock. In this follow-up
to How Cities Work and How Airports Work, young readers travel

reveal bustling stations, old steam locomotives fuelled with coal,
and high-speed trains zooming across Japan at almost 400 miles per
hour! And that's not all. See how trains reach the top of
mountains, transport people under cities, and work beneath the sea.
And don't forget to dress up - we'll take you on some luxurious
journeys including the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to
