Little Chick Amy Hest |
How Little Chick longs for her carrot
to grow tall, for her kite to fly high, to be able to reach up and take
her star from the sky. But her carrot is small, her kite bobs along on
the ground and she can't stretch up far enough to touch her star.
Sometimes things just don't turn out quite the way you want them to. 3 stories featuring the endearing character Little Chick. From the creators of 'Kiss Goodnight, Sam'. |

The Troll Julia Donaldson |
The Troll longs for a juicy goat to
eat - but he's stuck with boring old fish for supper. Bother! Meanwhile,
Hank Chief and his pirate crew love fish, but without a decent recipe
their slimy, soggy dinner is even worse. If only they could find their
buried treasure and pay for a ship's cook ...but it seems they've sailed
to the wrong island. The leading picture book writer Julia Donaldson is here paired with illustrator David Roberts - the partnership which also brought us the hilarious 'Tyrannosaurus Drip'. |

It's a Dog's Life Michael Morpurgo |
Lula always likes me to
go with her to the end of the lane. She loves a bit of a cuddle and a
lick or two before the school bus comes. 'Oh Russ', she whispers. 'A horse. It's all I want for my birthday.' And I'm thinking - 'Scuse me, but what's so great about a horse? Isn't a dog good enough.' Michael's story is an energetic romp through a dog's busy day on a farm. Russ, the sheepdog, herds sheep and cows and plots against Tigger, the farm cat. He covers Lula, his master's daughter, with lots of slobbery licks but when she gets a special birthday present, he worries that she might love it more than him... |

The Very Cranky Bear Nick Bland |
In the Jingle, jangle jungle, four friends encounter a very cranky bear. Moose, Lion and Zebra all think they know how to cheer him up, but it's plain, boring Sheep who has the answer. This is a hilarious picture book, with the over-riding message being: Don't underestimate the quiet ones! Sometime a little thought is all you need to solve a problem instead of rushing to immediate action. |

Smelly Peter, the Great Pea
Eater Steve Smallman |
Young Peter Pod, was a little bit odd: he ate nothing but peas, fresh or tinned, for breakfast and brunch, for dinner and lunch, though he always had terrible wind! Peter is different.

creations (like the tower he built out of used diapers). When a new
