If I Had a Penguin
Gabby Dawnay and Alex Barrow
The story starts innocently enough when a single Adélie penguin appears at the front door. What our protagonist hasn’t anticipated is that this penguin is part of a colony.
Their adventures include a visit to the waterpark, the seaside and the jazz club, before cramming themselves onto the sofa to watch a film and into the bathtub before bed.
As ever, this book will delight readers with its rollicking rhymes and hilarious gags.
Would You Still Love Me If I Was a Worm?
Meghan Sullivan and Ludi Copper
What if you turned into a worm? A ghost? Mouldy cheese? Or a fungus with a stench that’s humongous! Would your family still love you?
A curious child with a wild imagination asks their mum these very questions in this delightfully silly, laugh-out-loud picture book!
The Greedy Wolf
Timothy Knapman and Jean Jullien
There was once a greedy wolf. He was so greedy that every day he would eat enough food for TEN birthday parties and still be hungry for more.
A wicked and ravenous wolf is on the prowl for dinner when he spots, dun dun dun, seven young goats left at home alone.
But, fear not, whilst these kid goats may be little, they are clever, innovative and have enough downright silly tricks in hand to avoid getting eaten and maybe even get a little (or rather big) snack themselves.
Barb Vs. The Leech Queen
Dan Abdo and Jason Dan
With the war between the humans and monsters finally over, the Berzerkers are now fighting to preserve the fragile peace in the land of Bailiwick. When Barb and Porkchop arrive in the city of Skulladune, they find monsters and people at each other’s throats over the silliest things and do their best to shut the conflict down.
But there’s a sinister shapeshifting force at work who seeks to possess the Ghost Blade, and she manipulates Barb into entering Skulladune’s notoriously brutal contest to become the city’s marshal and then tricks Porkchop into entering too.
Soon, the Berzerker and the yeti are facing an evil gelatinous cube, a sewer labyrinth, an epic sausage-eating contest, and more. Can the best friends find a way to work together, or will they be forced to take each other out?
Renegades: The Broken City
Erin Hunter
Luna and Willow have always been close, but when their clashing beliefs pull them apart, can they find a way to work together?
Luna finds herself as leader of the Renegades while Willow ascends to the council of the Bound animals with her familiar, Violet. The sisters have grown powerful in their new communities, but as their influence grows, their animosity towards each other deepens.
But when the Bound and Unbound must work together for a common cause, can the sisters put aside their differences for the greater good?
The Weirdest Wonders on Earth
Sophie Burrows
You might have heard the word ‘atlas’ and thought, isn’t that a dusty old book with maps and stuff? But hang on – this is a totally WEIRD atlas: a curious collection of the strangest places on Earth!
As you journey through this book, you’ll discover some of the most weird and wonderful places on every continent. And sometimes, you’ll travel back in time to discover the strange histories of these locations.
Dinosaurs: Exploring Prehistoric Life and Geological Time
Rachel Ignotofsky
Experience 4.5 billion years of Earth history like you’ve never seen it before. Travel through Earth’s inhospitable origins to the beginnings of life as we know it.
Start at the Paleozoic era, when plants covered whole continents, winged insects took to the sky and seafaring vertebrates evolved to survive on land. Next stop, the Mesozoic Era, when the gargantuan Tyrannosaurus rex, the long-necked Brontosaurus, and the lumbering Stegosaurus walked the earth. And finally, the Cenozoic Era’s ice age, where you will finally meet the woolly mammoth and even early humans.
With infographics, maps, and vivid artwork, author and illustrator Rachel Ignotofsky brings fascinating extinct animals to life.
