Colossal Words for Kids is a book of 60 hilariously illustrated
rhymes to boost vocabulary, reading skills and spelling. Each poem
in this fun and funky book teaches a specific important word, its
meaning and spelling, in an innovative and accesible way that kids
will love. Using rhythm and wordplay, the poems help build a
colossal vocabulary, thinking skills and literacy. But most of all,
this book delights young readers with the fun and silliness of the
English language. Building a colossal vocabulary has never felt so
natural, or so much fun! Each word in this collection is
defined in a simple rhyme. Using rhythm, humour and logic, each
word’s meaning is made clear and accessible. Kids will want
to try them out straight away: it’s a ready-to-use collection!
  From Ambiguous to Zealous, the words in this book
are for 7–12-year olds. It may seem inconceivable for one book to
encompass such a wide age span! But in fact, inconceivable (and all
the words in this book) were selected from vocabulary lists
intended for older children, so that younger children
can challenge themselves and discover a wealth of great new
words!

pick you out of the bookshop then? This is the story of the sadly
neglected Book That No One Wanted To Read – can its destiny
change when it finally meets the right reader? Spoiler alert: yes.

believing in yourself and following your dreams.

it flies out the window of the van as the musicians leave the
sleepy village - and Hendrix knows there is no looking back. He
decides to put on a concert of his own. He ties a pair of pants
round his head. Socks round his wrists. He is Hendrix the Rocking
Horse!

playing with the other children from the neighbourhood. But there's

knows that she shouldn't be either. After all, she's supposed to be
the grown-up one! But Flora can't help it - Nelson is scary and
glary and he pecks hard. Will she overcome her fear?
