Tom's Clockwork Dragon

Tom's Clockwork Dragon

An exciting picture book adventure story where a little boy dares to take on a dragon.

A great story full of medieval detail and with plenty of action and suspense.


Hurry Up and Slow Down

Hurry Up and Slow Down

Toddlers will love this simple story, with its cosy farmland setting and lovable characters. And while adults are reading a story that highlights the differences between the energetic and impetuous Hare and the rather more circumspect Tortoise, they will no doubt smile as they recognise the parallels with their own experiences of childcare!


Sanji and the Baker

Sanji and the Baker

As enticing and mouthwatering as the aroma of freshly-baked bread - this is a great cautionary tale!

The riveting story is great to read aloud and Korky Paul's illustrations take you to an exotic faraway location. With its clever courtroom-drama finale, this is a book that children will just love to hear over and over again.
