A Yeticorn’s charging about on the loose!

Bea often tells little fibs when something goes wrong. Fairy-cats wiped mud all over the floor, wild octoponies flooded the bathroom… and lately, a humongous Yeticorn has been charging around, gobbling up her sister Edie’s sweets and sneezing confetti everywhere!

But one day, Bea wakes to find that a Yeticorn REALLY has come to stay – and his whippy, trippy tail causes all sorts of problems that she gets the blame for! Can Bea find the courage to stop fibbing and finally tell the truth?

This hilarious and heartwarming rhyming tale about sibling friendship, telling the truth, and the power of using your imagination for good.

If you were prime minister, what new laws would you pass? For one young boy, the possibilities are endless. His new rules range from having libraries open day and night to ensuring that anyone who wanted a dog, or a bicycle, would have one, and grown ups would go to nursery once a month to learn how to play. This joyous picture book is a beautifully illustrated story which gets young readers thinking about what they would change if they were in charge.

Greedy squirrels Cyril and Bruce both have their sights on a very special prize: THE VERY LAST NUT OF THE SEASON! As the nut bounces crazily though the forest, the squirrels race after it, between the trees, over boulders, down the river and – ARGH! – right to the edge of a waterfall! Working together might be the only way to save themselves now.

Reds love being red. Yellows love being yellow. And Blues love being blue. The problem is that they just don’t like each other. But one day, along comes a different colour who likes Reds, Yellows and Blues, and suddenly everything starts to change. Maybe being different doesn’t mean you can’t be friends …

A very special picture book that supports the adage that there is more that unites us than divides us. Along Came a Different just goes to show how much better we can all be when we come together to find common ground as friends.

The words that we hear affect the way we feel. It’s something we all know, but perhaps we don’t stop to think about it enough. For instance, words can conjure a whole world of wonderful description and paint a picture in someone else’s mind. When someone says something nice to us, it can make our hearts sing! But when people say mean things to us, it can also feel like our hearts are breaking. Words have great power – we can use them to make people feel stronger and happier – even laugh out loud and roll around!
