Elephant wants to play hide and seek. You can play too, but you'll
have to try your best - he's VERY good! Have You Seen Elephant is
an absurd and heart-warming picture book from a brilliant
storyteller with perfect comic timing. Watch out for the dog and
the tortoise, too...
Play hide and seek with a boy, his animal friends and a dinosaur
that's surprisingly hard to spot in the city. The brilliantly
interactive follow-up to international bestselling picture book,
Have You Seen Elephant? Best friends boy, dog, and elephant are
VERY good at hide-and-seek. There's a missing dinosaur in the
city--who better to spot this elusive giant? They search the skate
park, the museum, the subway . . . No one in the city can spot the
dinosaur, not even this expert hide-and-seek team. But delighted
readers will be pointing "There it is!" from the first page. This
absurd, laugh-out-loud picture book is richly illustrated with
David Barrow's trademark beautiful use of light and color and
dramatic cityscapes--a guaranteed hit with dinosaur-loving
toddlers. With clues, surprises, and humor, this game-inside-a-book
celebrates imaginative play and is perfect for sharing with
children who will love being better at finding the dinosaur than
their adult reader. David Barrow received the Sebastian Walker
award for most promising children's illustrator from the Cambridge
School of Art. His first book Have You Seen Elephant? was
shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize and is a bestseller around
the world. Praise for Have You Seen Elephant? "Beyond the sheer
absurdity, children will delight in details, such as the
wide-screen TV the elephant holds in one scene, the child's dad so
focused on the soccer game on the screen that he asks, 'What
elephant?' and the sly alterations to the family portraits on the
rear endpapers. Younger audiences will be screaming 'There it is!'
from the get-go."--starred, Kirkus Reviews "This amusingly absurd
story paired with the warm and wonderful illustrations will have
kids coming back again and again."--starred, School Library Journal
"Best of all this book will stand the test of time as there's
something new to be found on every page as you reread."--The

A humorous and heartfelt picture book by the brilliant Greg Gormley
and David Barrow, with gentle messages of inclusion, friendship and
the importance of being yourself! When Nelly asks Bear what kind of
bear he is, he isn't entirely sure how to answer. So off he goes to
find out . . . But none of the different bears he meets on his
travels are like him. Grizzly bears don't have funny stitches;
polar bears don't have washing labels attached to their bottoms;
spectacled bears are simply not as soft and bouncy as him; and
sunbears never wear smart bow-ties. So, disheartened, he returns to
Nelly . . . only to discover EXACTLY what kind of bear he is after
all - her own special bear! Children aged 3-6 will love following
Bear as he tries (and fails) to behave like all the other bears,
before discovering that what he really is, is the best thing of
all!
The origins of Wrightbus can be traced back to just after the
Second World War in 1946 when the company was founded as Robert
Wright & Son Coachbuilders in Ballymena Northern Ireland.
Robert was joined by daughter Muriel, and son William. Robert
Wright died in 1972\. In 2017 William was awarded a Knighthood in
the Queen's New Year's Honours Manufactured from the end of 2014,
the integral constructed StreetDeck is built in both single and
double-deck variations, the vast majority in the latter. At the
time of writing the workforce stud at 770, but by the end 2022 that
figure will be nearer one thousand. In 2021 70% of production was
diesel powered, but in 2022 only 30% will be diesel, with the other
70% zero emissions.
When Nelly asks Bear what kind of bear he is, he isn't entirely sure how to answer. So off he goes to find out . . . But none of the different bears he meets on his travels are like him. Grizzly bears don't have funny stitches; polar bears don't have washing labels attached to their bottoms; spectacled bears are simply not as soft and bouncy as him; and sunbears never wear smart bow-ties. So, disheartened, he returns to Nelly . . . only to discover EXACTLY what kind of bear he is after all - her own special bear!
East Lancashire Coachbuilders was first registered in October 1934
when two former Massey Bros of Wigan employees decided to set up
their own company in Blackburn. Their names were George Danson and
Alfred Alcock. Over the next seven decades they supplied both
single- and double-deck bodywork to most, if not all, Lancashire
municipal bus operators, plus a number of south coast operators.
The majority of photographs in this book have been taken by the
author, and are mostly previously unpublished.
Scania's first venture into the British double-decker bus market
came in 1973, when with partner MCW, based in Birmingham, they
produced the 'Metropolitan' double-decker. In 1980, after a brief
hiatus, Scania re-entered the British double-decker market with a
chassis for bodying by all the major UK builder. Featuring a
wonderful array of previously unpublished images, this book is a
fond tribute to forty years of Scania double-decker buses on
Britain's roads.
