Brian the Lion loves dancing, but lions are meant to be brave and
strong and fierce. Nobody would think a dancing lion was brave or
strong or fierce, would they? But when Brian finds out about a big
dancing competition, he decides it’s time to prove everyone
wrong! Tom Tinn-Disbury tears apart any lingering notions of gender
(and lion) stereotypes in this charming picture book, showcasing
the importance of believing in yourself, trusting your friends and
dancing at every opportunity.

Max is just an ordinary, slightly scruffy boy, until he burps, when
he turns into a huge monster, with teeth like swords, who can jump
over buildings, roar and eat whole dustbins. It's great being a
monster whose aim is to 'protect and do good stuff' until Max
sneezes, when he turns back into a boy again, sometimes far from
home and dressed only in his pants. But something starts causing a
lot of damage in his quiet suburb and it isn't Max. Trailed by his
nemesis, Peregrine, a boy his age who has invented a POOP (portable
operating omni prison) machine to catch the monster, Max has to
find the real culprit before Peregrine catches him...
Divorce and separation can be hard on any family and a difficult
topic for children to understand, including Tilly. Tilly lives in
the mountains with her mummy and daddy. She loves it - there are
beautiful views and lots of space to play. The only downside is
that she lives some of the time with Mummy on one mountain and the
rest of the time with Daddy on another. Even though their mountains
are joined by a bridge, Tilly isn't allowed to use it. Instead,
Tilly has to walk all the way down one mountain and trek up the
next to get between the two houses, which makes her extremely tired
and makes her wish that they all lived together. One day, when
upset, Tilly decides to fix the old, wobbly bridge in the hope that
it will fix her family. Will she succeed? This touching story
gently introduces children to family separation and teaches them
how to deal with the emotions surrounding divorce. The beautiful
