Meet a bug who is as snug as a bug can be. Oh, but not for long!
Along comes a knock on the door and suddenly he's off on a wild and
risky adventure... Bug is chased by creature after creature –
he's clearly ever so tasty – through woodland, dark caves
and a mighty waterfall! He barely escapes becoming someone's
dinner and comes close to meeting all sorts of sticky ends, but he
keeps insisting he is ‘snug as a bug'!Can he make it back home?
As snug as a bug can be? Snug as a Bug is a hilarious picture book
romp from Karl Newson, with energetic and characterful
illustrations from award-winning illustrator Alex Willmore which
help the story leap of the page!
BEWARE the Blue Bagoo! Join in with the detective who is on the
trail of a mysterious blue creature in this fun picture book! A
detective tries to uncover the truth about the infamous 'Blue
Bagoo' - a creature so big and scary that it can't possibly be made
up, can it? Our detective addresses us - the reader - on the very
first page, and then walks the winding cobbled streets of a Dr
Suess-esque seaside town, taking statements from the residents. The
Blue Bagoo proves elusive, but rumours of its 'supposed' qualities
have spread throughout the town. However, as the investigation
proceeds, there is a critical twist.... This is a tale of rumours
and fears, that also teaches us a gentle lesson about jumping to
conclusions and judging others!
A brilliantly witty introduction to comparisons and opposites,
illustrated by the winner of the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award.
These children and animals are all very different to each other.
Some are big, some are small. Some are gentle, some are rough.
Everyone is playful, but who's the best at hiding? One thing's
certain: they all love a good bedtime story! Shortlisted for the
Sainsbury's Children's Picture Book Award, this is the perfect book
for little ones who are just beginning to make sense of their place
in the world. Karl Newson has created a simple, funny and
heart-warming text, which is perfectly matched by Kate Hindley's
charming, brilliantly witty artwork, filled with detail. Related
activity sheets available on the Nosy Crow website. "Newson and
Hindley celebrate differences using simple but wonderfully
effective opposites and comparisons, with a highly endearing cast
of children and animals." The Bookseller
A laugh-out-loud funny picture book, starring the small but mighty Mouse!
Mouse might be teeny-tiny-titchy-witchy, but she's determined to show the other animals that anyone can roar like a dinosaur. With the help of her trusty "How to Roar Like a Dinosaur" book, Mouse gets to work getting her dino-roar back, much to the bemusement of the chattering meerkat, the grunting warthog and the ruk-ruking chameleon . . .
But what's that coming up behind them, with a really loud ROAR?!

This laugh-out-loud story is about a bold and imaginative Mouse who is accused of being an elephant by a gecko. Despite having a pointy nose and flappy ears, Mouse is definitely not an elephant – but could Mouse be an owl, a sheep, a yak, or a cow? Mouse persuades the others that it's what is on the inside that counts - and maybe Mouse is actually a Moose?
With vibrant and characterful illustrations this hilarious follow on to the acclaimed I AM A TIGER introduces a new range of animals for the feisty Mouse to bamboozle.
