Go Tell It To The Toucan!
It's Jumbo the elephant's birthday – and what better way to celebrate than by having a jungle jamboree? All Jumbo has to do is tell the toucan and he'll tell everybody else. But where is the toucan? Jumbo can't find him, and nor can the tiger, the warthog, the hippo ... or anyone else! This lively, repetitive text builds up to a very satisfying twist in the tale, which is guaranteed to tickle even the most reluctant reader. Great fun to read aloud, this funny jungle story is perfect for younger readers developing their confidence.
Also An Octopus
how to build a story! First, a story needs a character. So why not a ukulele-playing octopus? And since this is a story, the octopus has to want something - maybe it dreams of travelling to faraway galaxies in a purple spaceship. But every character needs an obstacle to overcome, and when the octopus sets out to build its own spaceship out of glue, umbrellas, glitter and waffles…well, he doesn't have much luck. Could there be another character that could help?
Penguin
Ben couldn't be more delighted to find a penguin inside his present. “Hello, Penguin!” he says. Penguin says nothing. Ben tickles Penguin, he pulls his funniest face, he puts on a happy hat, sings a silly song and does a dizzy dance. “Can’t you talk?” says Ben. Penguin says nothing. It isn’t until a passing lion intervenes that Penguin finally speaks… and when he does, Ben discovers something that was really worth the wait.
Monkey Found A Baby
A bright and lively picture book packed full of jungle fun! Monkey found a baby, an itsy bitsy baby. Monkey found a baby beneath the banyan tree. When baby monkey spots a lion the trouble really starts in this rollicking read aloud rhyme that's perfect for sharing with little monkeys everywhere.
Albert's Tree
Waa! Waa! Waa! Albert's favourite tree won't stop crying. What can be the matter? How can the bear cheer up his old friend? A funny and charming picture book about making friends in the most unexpected places
The Greedy Goat
A funny, read-aloud farmyard tale that teaches colours and days of the week
Goat has had enough of eating grass. She wants to try something different - the dog's food, the pig's potatoes and even the farmer's pants. But things go wrong in this hilarious, but cautionary, farmyard tale
Gorilla
Hannah loves gorillas and longs to see a real one. Unfortunately, her father is always too busy -- or too tired -- to take her to the zoo. But on the night before her birthday, something extraordinary happens and Hannah's wish finally comes true. Anthony Browne's classic story of a girl's moonlit night of adventure, courtesy of a surprising and kindly friend
Melissa's Octopus and Other Unsuitable Pets
follow Melissa, her friends, and all their rather unsuitable pets! There are certain animals that make suitable pets, like a cat, a dog or a guinea pig. Then there are other animals that definitely make unsuitable pets, like an octopus, a warthog or an elephant. They are much too large, too messy and, well, just a tad free-spirited. They also have a tendency to break things ... like floors, ceilings and tables. But can you guess what makes the most unsuitable pet ever? Here's a clue . he has a long, scaly green tail and very sharp teeth.
Alan's Big Scary Teeth
An alligator who snaps, becomes an alligator who th-naps in this hilarious, heart-warming story of making new friends and discovering who you really are.
Meet Alan, an alligator with a secret. Famed for his big, scary teeth, he sneaks into the jungle every day to scare the jungle animals… “I’m big, scary Alan! Fear my razor-sharp teeth!” But after a long day of scaring, Alan likes nothing better than to run a warm mud bath and take out his false teeth, which nobody knows about! That is, until his teeth go missing. What will Alan do now? Scaring is the only thing he knows how to do! Can he still be scary without them? A goofy comedy of self-discovery, witty, warm-hearted storytelling and bright graphic art will make this (and Alan!) a firm children’s book favourite.
Handa's Surprise
In this picture book classic, a delightful surprise colourfully unfolds when a little girl called Handa puts seven delicious fruits in a basket to take to her friend.
This is the story of Handa, who's part of the Luo tribe in south-west Kenya. Handa decides to take seven pieces of delicious fruit to her friend, Akeyo, who lives in the neighbouring village. But as Handa wonders, I wonder what fruit Akeyo will like best?, a series of sneaky animals steal something from Handa's basket, which she's carrying on her head... When Handa reaches Akeyo, will she have anything left to offer her friend?
Richly-illustrated, brimming with luscious fruit and cheeky wild animals, this mouth-watering story is for the youngest of readers. In the best pantomime spirit, children will long to tell Handa what's happening right behind her!
