say the least, but it’s the cheery arrival of Pea and his
extended family that pushes Bad Apple over the edge. It’s
beginning to feel a lot like Christmas ... but how long can the
Peas last?

The second title in the laugh-out-loud series of picture books
starring Bad Apple, a truly terrible piece of fruit. Bad Apple is
back and grumpier than ever after his run-in with Snake, who
graciously spat him out with just a warning. Granny Smith and her
posse of golden apples step in to teach him a lesson. But Bad Apple
stoops to a new low and seals them up in a delicious apple
crumble... In the second instalment of Huw Lewis Jones's hilarious
new series of picture books, a truly terrible piece of fruit is
once more wreaking havoc far beyond the rim of the fruit bowl. Bad
Apple's behaviour is so outrageous, even his own Granny Smith gangs
up on him. Illustrated in a deadpan, painterly style by Ben
Sanders, Apple Grumble will entertain the entire family.
Featuring beautiful, emotive illustrations, this is the first story
in a series of picture books about a befuddled, lovable Badger and
his search for happiness, friends and love. Who am I? White and
black. Day and night. Badger doesn't feel quite right... ...and to
make matters worse, he now has a blue bottom. Badger is feeling
sad. He can't sleep. He asks the other animals one by one: 'Am I
white and black, or black and white?' Can he find an answer? Is
anyone listening? Does anyone care? Can he find a friend? He speaks
to several other animals, from zebra to panda to penguin to skunk,
as he tries to find out who he is, but along his journey he
discovers that it doesn't matter whether he is black or white, just
as long as he is kind. Featuring wry wit, deadpan humour and a
heartwarming ending, Blue Badger will endear himself to readers big
and small, while touching gently on themes of sadness and identity.

Ray is lying dead on the restaurant floor. As Marshall investigates
the circumstances leading up to the murder, tracking down the drug
dealers, bag men, bent cops and mob players within Ray's orbit, it
