Oh, Komodo, no, Komodo, if what I hear is true, nothing but another
Komodo should risk getting close to you! Every day is an adventure
in this brilliant, eagerly awaited collection from one of the
UK’s best loved poets. Find cats, dogs and dragons, a rock'n'roll
iguana and the Rescue Centre for Mythical Beasts. Take the night
train to Transylvania, learn to fly or send a postcard from Pluto
– but never take a selfie with a Komodo!
Me and My Alien Friend is Ed Boxall's first full-length collecti on
of children's poetry. The book is full of all sorts of friends:
best friends, changing friends, absent friends, animal friends,
imaginary friends and even a friend who's a 'Thing on a Springy
String'. In the poems, friends adventure together: discovering,
exploring and sharing life's happy hills and lonely dark hollows.
The 'Alien Friend' poem returns like a chorus throughout the book:
a boy sits on the moon with his 38-toed alien friend, looking at
our world from a peaceful distance, observing, thinking, dreaming.
In poems and drawings, friendship is gently celebrated as a
universal experience that can cross every divide.
A new title in this highly-acclaimed series for beginner readers.
When Mr Trim, the class teacher, wakes up feeling unwell, Miss
Jumble is sent in as a supply teacher. While Mr Trim is always very
neat and sensible and wants his class to be neat and sensible too,
Miss Jumble wants them to have fun! She gets to work making the
children as untidy as she is, taking them on lots of exciting trips
along the way. But, although everyone loves Miss Jumble, they also
miss the peace and quiet of Mr Trim. They needn't worry, though, as
thanks to Quentin, the class hamster, Mr Trim and Miss Jumble fall
in love and everyone gets the best of both worlds!; Using several
different types of text - from signposts and speech bubbles to
recipes - the Starters series fits guidelines in the National
Literacy Strategy, which recommends using different media to teach
children to read.
A child and their dog explore the woods. As they look around they
think what it would be like if dragons were actually living there.
There are strange footprints in the mud, there is mist coming from
a cave that looks like dragons' breath and, hidden in the fallen
leaves, could those be dragon eggs? A wonderful, imaginative
picture book to share with young readers with pictures that take
their inspiration from medieval woodcuts of dragons and their
glowing colours from stained glass windows.
I wasn't The Dog that looks like its Owner and Most Fabulous Fella
was some other male. But there was one class where I came in first
- I'm The Dog with the Waggiest Tail. From huskies, born to run, to
those big bad bruisers, the security dogs. Meet Bruno, the smallest
dog on the farm, and Charlie, the dancing chihuahua. Find rescue
dogs, helping dogs, yappy dogs, happy dogs - and the dog with the
waggiest tail! All written from the dogs' point of view, by
internationally acclaimed poets Brian Moses and Roger Stevens, this
funny and perceptive canine collection will be treasured by
dog-lovers of all ages.
This is Brian Moses' most popular poem when he performs in schools.
It is full of energy, rhythm and fun. With Ed Boxall's colourful
illustrations it is turned into a perfect picture book for sharing,
with a collection of exotic animals - iguana, piranha, Chihuahua,
chinchilla, gorilla and even caterpillar - all walking together on
a hot, sunny beach. 'Walking with my Iguana' has been the most
listened to poem on the Poetry Archive many times and is rarely out
of the top 5.
A lively and engaging Starters title for beginner readers from
author-illustrator Ex Boxall, with a friendly text and stylish
two-colour illustrations. Hugo's Hullabaloo is part of Walker
Starters, the wonderfully fun and friendly series for beginner

Hugo in a big, big castle. Hugo has every toy he could wish for,
but he's still very lonely. What he needs is a wild hullabaloo!
This is a charming and uplifting story told through a range of
writing styles, including hand-lettered invitations and speech
bubbles. The illustrations, which appear on every page, are lively
and stylish, and play an active part in helping children understand
the text.
