One morning Milo tossed pancakes high in the air. Lily, Lena, and
Gwendolyn jumped up and down trying to catch them. ‘Breakfast is
ready,’ called Milo. But upstairs all was quiet. Dada Henry
doesn’t feel like pancakes this morning, and Milo and the twins
aren’t sure why. They persist making more and more elaborate
concoctions, Maple Come Back for More, Little Puddings Supreme, and
Brussel Sprouts Forget Me Never, but nothing will lure Henry out of
bed. This funny and heartwarming story tells us that every now and
then, everyone needs some ‘me-time’.

'A charming and well-crafted picture book story.' -- School Reading
List A young kangaroo called Alexander lives in his mum, Nancy's
pocket. Alexander loves his mum, but there's one thing she does
that really drives him nuts. She is always putting stuff in her
pocket. Alexander tries to keep things neat, but the more he
tidies, the more stuff she shoves in there. When he complains, his
sister calls him a baby - it's time to leave the pouch anyway. But
Alexander loves it in there - it's warm and cosy and smells of mum.
Then one day, it gets really bad. Twelve bobby pins, a tube of
toothpaste, a bottle of water, a packet of chewing gum, two bus
tickets, some keys, a toy car and a cookbook all find their way
into Nancy's pouch. And that's just for starters. Finally
Alexander's had enough. 'I can't take it any more!' he shouts. 'I'm
moving out!' So Alexander moves into the room next to his sister's.
They make it all cosy, with a furry blanket and shelves for all his
stuff. So it's just like his mum's pouch. Almost. The penultimate
spread is Alexander sleeping with all his stuff strewn around him.
The final spread is Nancy clearing out her pocket with a wink. It
was time for Alexander to go. This is a heartwarming tale about a
connection between a son and mother and a journey towards
independence, beautifully brought to life.
