Emma can't wait for Christmas -- the tree, the presents, the tasty turkey dinner! Her dad and stepmum Susan want Christmas to be perfect, but things aren’t going to plan -- and then their turkey disappears! Will Christmas be ruined? As Emma encourages her parents to appreciate what they have, their neighbours -- the Taylor-Wilsons, the Singhs and Mrs Angel -- come knocking to share their own festive traditions and help the family have a very merry Christmas. One Christmas in Our Building is a unique and heart-warming picture book about community spirit and the true meaning of the festive season. Johanna Lindemann beautifully, and amusingly, captures a child's perspective on Christmas, and Andrea Stegmaier's illustrations are lively, textured and full of fun details to spot.

Though he's scared at first, a boy who encounters an alligator in the woods soon realises that all the alligator wants is companionship - and leftovers - and the two become good friends. But the mayor of the boy's town simply won't allow it. The townspeople agree with the mayor. At first. But once they see how kind and helpful the alligator is (and how nice it is to have someone to eat all their leftovers!), they decide the alligator should be allowed to stay. They help the alligator avoid the mayor, for a while. But it's becoming harder to find a place for him to hide. Can they all come together and find a way to keep the alligator in their town?
