'Joyce Dunbar is one of the best writers for children today.' (The
Guardian) A powerful and personal story from Joyce Dunbar about
what it's like to experience hearing difficulties. Dylan can't hear
as well as he used to be able to and he doesn't want to be

everyone else. As his hearing gets worse he becomes more and more
isolated from his friends. Luckily his dog Pluto is there to keep
him down to earth... This heartwarming story from Joyce Dunbar has
beautiful black-and-white illustrations by TBC and is perfect for
children who are developing as readers. The Bloomsbury Readers

From the creator of the The Wonderful Wizard of Oz comes the
hilarious and entertaining festive tale for the whole family, The
Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. Starring the Santa Claus whom
we all know and love, L. Frank Baum's story takes us back to the
fantastical origins of so many of our Christmas traditions as well
as the humble origins of Santa Claus himself. Not many people know
that, as a baby, Santa Claus was found by a woodsman in the Forest
of Burzee, and placed into the care of the lioness, Shiegra, and
the wood nymph, Necile. Although he is mortal, he is reared and
educated by the many immortals of the forest: the gnomes, the sleep
fays, the wind demons and the sound imps. But when Santa grows up,
they encourage him to leave the forest so that he can see for
himself the sad things that come with being a mortal, such as war
and poverty. Once Santa has come to understand these issues, he
makes it his mission to cheer up mortals and do good deeds for
them. This tale unfolds the surprising reasons why Santa Claus
invented toys, why he must deliver them at night and how he came to
use reindeers to take him all over the world. Adults and children
alike will be captivated by this magical, feel-good story as told
by the master of children's fantasy, L. Frank Baum.
