The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark

Book and Plush Gift Set
Jill Tomlinson
Illustrations by Paul Howard
This beautiful gift box set includes the classic picture book and an adorable
true-to-character plush toy of Plop
“Glorious nocturnal illustrations . . . Tomlinson’s reassuring tale is aimed

squarely at preschoolers, who will thrill to a familiar scenario played out in
an unusual setting. . . . As for the round, plump and utterly fetching Plop
himself, he’s an irresistible ball of fluff who may well convert a host of read-
ers to nighttime’s appeal.” —Publishers Weekly
This timeless picture book stars Plop, a beautiful baby barn owl: he is fat and
fluffy, with big, round eyes and soft, downy feathers. In fact, Plop is perfect in
almost every way, except for just one thing—Plop is afraid of the dark! But one
day Plop discovers that perhaps the dark isn’t quite so scary and dangerous as
he fears, and he learns to embrace the dark and its wonders. Perfect for story-led
play, children can reenact the tale with this set as they learn not to be afraid of
the dark. The cute soft toy can also be played with separately.
Jill Tomlinson’s gently instructive animal tales have been charming children for
decades. Illustrator Paul Howard has collaborated on many books, including
Bravest Ever Bear.

ANT AND BEE
Angela Banner
First published in 1950, the Ant and Bee titles have been a favorite of vintage children’s book hunters.
These delightful, much-loved characters will be instantly recognizable to many parents and grandparents
today. The beauty of these simple stories is that they are designed for an older sibling or parent
to teach their child how to read. Using word recognition techniques, the Ant and Bee stories provide
an alternative to phonics learning. Original author and creator Angela Banner has reillustrated the Ant and Bee
books, and Egmont UK is proud to be bringing these cherished classics back into print.
Angela Banner first wrote Ant and Bee as a way to teach her son how to read. The first book in the series
was published in 1950. Since then, Angela has written 22 Ant and Bee books.

A Lark in the Ark

Peter Bently
Illustrations by Lynne Chapman
It’s raining—again!—and Noah and the animals are bored. So they play an
extremely silly game of hide-and-seek.
“The animals are cleverly illustrated . . . and the rich vocabulary offers some deli-
cious variety.” —Kirkus Reviews
Noah can’t find so much as a feather, although he’s searched the ark from top to bot-
tom for his playmates. There’s only one place left they could be, and that’s the room
with the sign on the door that says NO ANIMALS—Mr. and Mrs. Noah’s bedroom.
When Noah opens the door, the room is suspiciously empty . . .
But who’s that wriggling under the duvet?
Llamas in pyjamas and baboons in pink pantaloons!
And who’s that squashed behind the chest of drawers?
Bears in flares and wombats in combats!
Lift 25 double-sided flaps and a large fold-out flap on the final page to reveal the ani-
mals hiding, dressed ridiculously in Mr. and Mrs. Noah’s clothes!
Peter Bently’s other books include Noisy Noisy Astronauts and A Shark in the Dark. Lynne Chapman has illustrated more than 30
children’s books, including Big Bad Wolf is Good, Class Two at the Zoo, Open Wide!, Smudge’s Grumpy Day, and When Cows

of a ship.” What is Captain doing in Drag-

Come on!” “Where are we going?” “To my
cave! I know I have a map somewhere.”

venture. Dragon is a boy in pajamas and a drag-
on robe. Captain is a boy with a three-sided hat.
But as the boys’ imaginations take over, we see
them as they see themselves and the backyard as
the boys see it: a dark forest, a craggy cliff, and
the immense sea. Illustrated like a comic book,
this book is a fantasy-filled graphic novel for
the picture book set. Young readers will be en-
chanted with—and parents will appreciate—the
creative backyard play, in which the boys use the
simplest found items and the backyard features
to create an elaborate adventure. Can Dragon and Captain find the lost ship before lunch?

The legend of Sylvester and his annual

illustrated festive story for generations to love
and enjoy
“Beautiful . . . the timeless feel of a modern

classic. [The] evocative, chanting artwork
seems the perfect complement to this peace-
filled, sparely told story. Also particularly
charming is the printing . . . you can’t help
noticing the pleasing feel of the paper and the
glittering foil stamping on the cover. It’s even
sized just right for reading together with a little
one, laying perfectly across a lap.”

“Gorgeous artwork.” —Creative Bloq,
25 Stunning Book Illustrations
On a cold winter’s day Eduard Mörike took a
walk with the young daughter of his friend. While
stamping through the snow he told her the story
of Sylvester and the New Year, a story which left
a lasting impression on the young girl. When she
was an adult, she wrote it down and so it has been
passed on, creating a new tradition—the reading
of this book on New Year’s Eve. This beautiful
picture book is inspired by that fairytale told to a
little girl more than 100 years ago. Originally told
in German, and passed down through generations,

A tale for explaining difference to chil-
dren, both engaging and challenging
“A thought-provoking catalyst for discus-

sions about being different, coping with
disabilities, bullying behaviors and caring

“This is a gorgeous book for any child,
but it’s particularly lovely for kids who
see the world in their own special way.”
—Mindfood
Ivan is a very special six-year-old. There is
something about the way he looks and moves
that sets him apart from the others in his class.
Ivan knows that he is different, and what’s
more, he knows why. Inside, he is a crocodile.
Ivan is a friendly crocodile who would love to
be one of the gang, but the others don’t un-
derstand his crocodile ways. They taunt him
and tease him, making him feel very much
alone. By the end of Ivan’s story we take comfort in the fact that this young crocodile has found a way of feeling less alone as he
takes his place in class with all the others. The book ends with a publisher’s note to parents with suggested discussion questions.

Kuma-Kuma Chan, the Little Bear
Kazue Takahashi
This lovingly rendered, meditative book on
friendship is sure to find a permanent place on
the bedside table
With sparse text and a deceptively simple, beautiful
design, Japanese author/illustrator Kazue Takahashi
brings to life the world of Kuma-Kuma Chan, which
loosely translates from the Japanese as “cute little
bear.” Making its first appearance in English, this
charming book for preschoolers and readers of all
ages poses the question, “How might my friend, a
solitary bear, choose to spend his days?” The soft,
almost dreamlike illustrations are accompanied by
single sentences making it easy for emerging readers
to follow along. Daily chores and seasonal activities
become infused with special meaning when they are
performed by this adorable creature. Kuma-Kuma
Chan goes about his days in contented solitude, en-
gaged in activities such as eating breakfast, gazing
at clouds, listening to the rain, writing letters, and
wondering where to go with his new bag. At night
he watches the sky darken and brushes his teeth be-
fore bed. He gardens in the spring, trims his hair in
summer, composes a love song in the fall, and seeks
a warm, sunny spot on the floor in the winter. Chil-
dren and adults alike will take delight in repeating
aloud the name of their new, steadfast storybook
friend and look forward to spending more time in his
imagined world.

“If childhood has an illustrator laureate, it must be Hughes; no one else captures emotions, concerns,
and body language with such sensibility and affection.” —Kirkus Reviews

beam, librarians wax lyrical and fellow children’s authors opine that it is time she retired and
gave the rest of them a chance.” —Times Educational Supplement

thrilled children and adults alike with their tales of growing up and everyday discovery. Her many awards include

Charlie Girl: A Story of Love and Instinct

An endearing story involving love, friendship, siblings, and pets
Charlie Girl, that lovable standard poodle and true cosmopolitan canine, is back and star-
ring in a new adventure, one where the world as she knows it is turned upside down—a
new baby is on the way! Everyone in the neighborhood leans over the baby carriage to
admire little Ava while Charlie Girl, left on the side, wonders to herself what happened
to her life. Yet all she wants to do is protect this new baby, sit by the crib, and make sure
she’s okay. How can she be jealous and at the same time so protective of baby Ava? It’s
instinct! The feelings shared in this tale apply to humans and dog relationships in families
with new children or puppies. Over time Charlie Girl and her baby sister find they have
much in common as they end up having the time of their lives together, becoming two
peas in a pod and the loves of each other’s lives. A true “tail” of family love, it teaches
young readers how to deal with jealousy of the attention lavished on their recently born
siblings and how change can often turn out to be for the better.

Ilua the ground squirrel loves nothing more

ogy behind the Aurora Borealis
• Co-op available
Leslie is new to the Arctic, and no one told her there would
be so much snow, and so many interesting animals to see.
Along with her new friend, Oolipika, Leslie soon discovers
one of the Arctic’s most unique and breathtaking natural
wonders, the northern lights. Having never seen such lights
before, Leslie is understandably shocked by them. Oolipika,
on the other hand, knows that the ancient lights are more
than just colors and that the mischievous, playful spirits
that the northern lights hold can be dangerous. This con-
temporary narrative introduces young readers to an Inuit
legend about the northern lights, followed by an epilogue
that explains the science behind this amazing phenomenon.

On the Shoulder of a Giant
An Inuit Folktale
Neil Christopher
Illustrations by James Nelson
Based on a pan-Arctic Inuit traditional story, this book con-
tinues the familiar trope of the friendly giant, while featuring
some uniquely Arctic elements and scenery
• Co-op available
Inukpak was big, even for a giant. He loved to walk across the
tundra, striding over the widest rivers and wading through the
deepest lakes. He could walk across the Arctic in just a few days.
But being so big, and traveling so far, Inukpak was often alone.
Until one day when he came across a little hunter on the tundra.
Thinking that the hunter was a little boy alone on the land, Inuk-
pak decided to adopt him. And so, from the shoulder of one of
the biggest giants to ever roam the Arctic, this hunter experiences
Inukpak’s world.

The Tobermory Cat
Debi Gliori
The delightful tale of a legendary feline
Once upon a time, the little Hebridean village of Tobermory—off the west coast of
Scotland on the isle of Mull—was fortunate to have among its citizens a very special

drives big yellow diggers, and speaks to otters, making himself a legend in his own
lifetime. This delightful book follows the famous cat’s exploits as he ventures to all
kinds of places—from the top of the fish van to the Laird’s downstairs bathroom—to
find the ideal spot for a snooze.

The Little Christmas Tree
Andrea Skevington
Illustrations by Lorna Hussey
A charming story about a little fir tree with a special part to play on the
night that Jesus is born
“Deep in the forest, one dark night, it was so cold the stars were shivering in
the sky . . .”
A dark storm is brewing, and the woodland animals sense danger. The grand,
proud trees, oak, sycamore, and birch, are determined to fight the storm wind.
But the humble little fir tree knows that it is more important to shelter the fright-
ened birds and animals. When the storm wreaks destruction, she alone is un-
harmed. And far away, that very night, a baby is born in a manger. The angels
who herald the baby’s birth scatter shimmering stars as they pass the forest. On
which tree do the stars rest? The little fir tree, the one who had shown love. This
beautiful Christmas tale is told with exquisite pictures of the woodland animals,
and sparkles on the page.

Brother Egbert’s Christmas

Steve Eggleton
In the style of an illuminated manuscript, with calligraphy and illuminations
throughout, this is a brand-new way of retelling the Christmas story
Brother Egbert is a monk at Willingford Abbey. He spends most of his time copying
out pages from the Bible in beautiful handwriting, but on Sunday afternoons he in-
vites the children of Willingford to come and read the Bible stories he has written out
especially for them. This is how Jake, the woodcarver’s son, learns the story of Jesus’
birth, the story that inspires Jake and his father as they make a new carving for the
abbey church—and that carving inspires Brother Egbert to write this story. Presented
in the style of an illuminated manuscript with calligraphy and highly colorful pictures
interacting with the lettering, the book captures the spirit of one of Brother Egbert’s
own manuscripts. Included in the back are instructions on how to make your very own
illuminated manuscript. This beautiful hardback with gold foiling and linen quarter
binding is a stunning and unique Christmas gift.
Steve Eggleton is a sculptor who has become best known for his relief sculpture, which
is strongly influenced by his love of medieval carving.

Saint Francis
The Good Man of Assisi
Mary Joslin
Illustrations by Alison Wisenfeld
The inspiring story of the love and compassion of St. Francis
Long ago, in the busy little town of Assisi, a wealthy merchant and his wife had a baby
boy: Francis. They gave their son all the good things that money could buy. But when
Francis was a young man, he had a dream telling him to work for God—to follow the
example of Jesus in loving those who were unloved, and giving everything he had to
serve others. Francis’ life touched the hearts of many in his own lifetime. Even the wild
birds and animals seemed to listen to what he had to say about God, their Maker. For
hundreds of years, the story of this good man of Assisi has brought hope and encour-
agement to all those who long to know gentleness and love in the world.
Mary Joslin is the author of a number of books on spirituality, including The Good-
bye Boat, The Minstrel’s Tale, and The Tale of the Heaven Tree. Alison Wisenfeld is
an illustrator whose works have won widespread acclaim, from the prize-winning The
Tree through Spider Watching to Best-Loved Prayers; The Good Man of Assisi; and
Mary, Mother of Jesus.

Wet Hen
A Short Vowel Adventure
Molly Coxe
The phonics focus of this book helps teachers looking for
materials to fit specific lesson plans, but the stories never feel
“educational”

1.8 million copies
Hen is wet. Hen’s eggs are wet.
“Help!” says Hen.
“I can help!” says Hen’s friend, Ben.
In the third Short Vowel Adventure from Brave Mouse Books, Hen
and her eggs are off on a wild, wet adventure, even though Hen is
not the adventuresome sort. She would prefer to sit quietly in a warm
dry spot until her chicks arrive. Luckily, she has a true friend in Ben,
who responds to every new challenge with kindness and creativity.
This is spring story, full of hope, humor, and the promise of new
beginnings. Two “Story Starters” follow the text: fun, open-ended
questions that can be used as jumping off places for oral and written
storytelling.
Molly Coxe is an award-winning writer and illustrator whose books
include Benjamin and Bumper to the Rescue, Big Egg, Cat Traps,
The Great Snake Escape, Hot Dog, Princess Pig, R Is for Radish,

readers moving from picture books and early readers to

Rumba and the Crocodile Cafe
Figaro and Rumba are old friends. And their new friends are
the cats who run the Cool Cats Cafe. Customers come from
everywhere to try their chicken empanadas, and to swoon
beneath the spell of their singing and steel guitars. But the
Cool Cats top singer can’t rehearse while Figaro is howling
out of tune. Anyway, Figaro would rather be exploring than
singing, and Dora, the little ginger cat, has the keys to the
singer’s classic Catmobile! Figaro had thought he’d seen a
monster in the car, but when he sniffed inside he could only
smell polish, leather, and fish . . . so off they go! Vroom,
vroom, vroo-oo-ooom!

Mr Gum is horrid—in fact, absolutely grimsters. But this book’s not just about him, it’s
also about a gingerbread man named Alan Taylor who has electric muscles! Plus, all our
favorite characters are back: the little girl called Polly, the evil butcher called Billy Wil-
liam The Third, and the very wise man, Friday O’Leary. And, who could forget loveable
Jake the dog, or the angry fairy who lives in Mr Gum’s bathtub and whacks him on the
head with a frying pan? This book will have you crying with laughter!

Mr Gum and the Goblins

The third side-splittingly funny book in a series for very brave readers
Well, that old roo-de-lally Mr Gum and the hideous Billy William the Third are once more
mucking things up for everyone. They’re a-schemin’ and a-hatchin’ an’ making their bad
plans up on Goblin Mountain. And why? Because they’re raising up an army of goblins
to stink up the town of Lamonic Bibber once and for all! Can the brave travelers (the wise
old man Friday O’Leary and the girl Polly) make it past the Three Impossible Challenges of
Goblin Mountain and save the town from a fate worse than something very bad indeed? In a
tale of courage, valor, and plain idiocy only one thing is sure: the truth is a lemon meringue!

Patrick Loughlin
Illustrations by Nahum Ziersch
A junior fiction series for kids about a local boys’ rugby league team that gets special coaching and advice from star
Australian National Rugby League player Billy Slater. Slater began the series to share what he has learned on the field with
the next generation of players, and to get them reading. Each book contains themes of family, teamwork, health, and fun.
Billy Slater is an Australian professional rugby player. Patrick Loughlin is a high school
English teacher and writer. Nahum Ziersch works as an illustrator.

Show and Go
In the third Billy Slater book, a young rugby player has to learn that earning the most
points doesn’t mean much without help from his team
Corey is one of the best players on the team and everyone knows it, especially Corey. While
he scores a lot of tries, he doesn’t win many friends. Corey thinks his rugby skills give him
license to pick on anyone who isn’t as good as him, and his teammates are getting sick of it.
When he makes a bet with C. C., the West Hill Ravens’ fullback, things really start to spin
out of control. Can team mentor Billy Slater show Corey that great players aren’t always the
ones that score the most points?
9780857982681
Chip and Chase

The fourth Billy Slater book finds one rugby player who can’t keep up with his home-
work, and another looking for his chance to shine on the field
Liam is the captain of the West Hill Ravens, and the heart and soul of the team. He lives,
breathes, and sleeps rugby. The only problem is that it doesn’t leave him much time for
anything else. Now his schoolwork is suffering, and his parents are on his back. He may
even have to quit the team. And without their captain, the Ravens’ chances of making the
finals look grim. But team mentor Billy Slater has an idea—in the form of Ravi, the Ravens’
inexperienced reserve player. If the two boys can work together, they may just save the
team’s season.

LULU BELL
Belinda Murrell
Illustrations by Serena Geddes
Lulu Bell is a fun-loving, sometimes bossy eight-year old with long, honey-colored hair. She is the practical one
in the family—which is fortunate because the rest of the family is slightly zany. Her sister Rose is six and loves
wearing angel wings and sparkly shoes, and her three-year-old brother Gus likes to wear his superhero suit, even
in the bath. Lulu’s dad is a busy vet, while her mom is an artist. The Bell family has lots of pets and their home
is right behind the vet hospital, so Lulu helps her dad care for injured and orphaned animals.
Belinda Murrell is a journalist and author. Her previous titles include The Forgotten Pearl, The Locket
of Dreams, and the Sun Sword Trilogy series. Serena Geddes is the author of maybe because.

Oliver Fibbs and the Attack of the Alien Brain

Oliver is the Defender of Planet Earth, and he must save the human race from the evil
alien brain—or perhaps that’s just his overactive imagination again
“Hooray for this marvellous champion of the dull and boring!” —School Librarian
Hi! I’m Oliver Tibbs (some people call me “Oliver Fibbs”) and everyone in my family is
super-brilliant at something—chess, ballet, brain surgery, and architecture—but I’m not
brilliant at anything. Show and Tell (or as I call it: Pain and Torture Time) is my worst
nightmare . . . I haven’t got a black belt in karate or made a mega-powerful electromagnet.
All I’m good at is reading comics and eating pizza. But I’m fed up with being dull and bor-
ing, so I’ve been telling the class about my adventures as a Defender of Planet Earth—bat-
tling against the evil Alien Brain Drain who wants to take over the world! Everyone loved
it except Miss Wilkins, who gave me a detention for telling fibs. Now my parents think I’m
Going Bad. I keep telling them—they’re not fibs, they’re stories!

Oliver Fibbs and the Giant Boy-Munching Bugs

Oliver is the Defender of Planet Earth, but before he can save the world he has to
escape from giant boy-munching bugs—or perhaps that’s just his overactive imagina-
tion again
“Humor and excitement buzzes off the page as Oliver Fibbs launches into another
infectious and exaggerated tale. . . . Entertaining, fast paced, and funny, it’s no exagger-
ation to say Steve Hartley’s new hero will be a hit with readers, reluctant or otherwise.
Fun illustrations complement the lively text, including the seamless flow into sections
of comic strips that bring Oliver’s imagination to life.” —Carousel
Hi! I’m Oliver Tibbs (some people call me “Oliver Fibbs”), and sometimes my life gets a lit-
tle DAB—Dull And Boring. So from time to time I “get creative’”with the truth at Show and
Tell. But this time something exciting really has happened! Dad has been bitten by a strange
tropical insect, and struck down with Wenghi Benghi Fever. It’s highly likely the bugs will
get me too—and I’ll break out in green spots, orange boils, a red rash, and probably turn
into a bloodsucking zombie killer—like Agent Q in my favorite comic!

Hi! I’m Oliver Tibbs (some people call me “Oliver Fibbs”) and sometimes my life gets a little
DAB—Dull And Boring. So from time to time I “get creative” with the truth at Show and
Tell. Although I honestly am a Defender of Planet Earth, just like Agent Q in my favorite
comics, and right now my uncle, the world-famous explorer, Sir Randolph, is lost in the
Antarctic and it’s up to me to find him. Plus, a new ice age is about to freeze the Earth unless
I find a way to stop it—there are evil snow beasts on the loose, and—OK, maybe I’m exag-
gerating . . . But as I keep telling everyone, they’re not fibs, they’re stories!
Oliver Fibbs and the Clash of the Mega Robots

Oliver is the Defender of Planet Earth, and he right now he’s locked in a battle with

Hi! I’m Oliver Tibbs, a mega-ordinary boy from a mega-brilliant family. Sometimes my
life gets a little DAB—Dull And Boring—so I get creative with the truth at Show and Tell.
I guess that’s why some people call me Oliver Fibbs! Right now I’m locked in a battle with
the evil genius The Boffin, who has turned my nemesis, The Show-off, into a super robot
who plans to take over the world! But I’m fighting back with a mega robot of my own!
OK, maybe I’m exaggerating . . . but as I keep telling everyone, they’re not fibs, they’re
stories!

powers at all, can keep things under control. But for how long? A perfectly paced adventure

brought bad luck to her village—for fans of YA adventure-fantasy
“A gripping tale. . . . Both magical and superbly true, this new world draws us into
universal struggles of survival, loyalty, and freedom, as secrets build and break around
us like weather.” —Anna Fienberg, cocreator, the Tashi series
Peat is on the run—forced to flee her life when she’s blamed for bringing bad luck to her
village. She heads for the endless marshes, where she’s caught by an old healer-woman who
makes Peat her apprentice and teaches her the skill of storytelling. But a story can be a dan-
gerous thing. It can take you out of one world and leave you stranded in another—and Peat
finds herself trapped in an eerie place beyond the Silver River where time stands still. Her
only friends are a 900-year-old boy and his ghost hound, plus a small, slippery sleek—a cun-
ning creature that might sink his teeth into your leg one minute, and save your life the next.

er and sister hero and heroine—magic, mystery, and myth combine in a captivating new
fantasy book
Devlin and Shay are the two youngest children of Lord Padraig, ruler of the Kingdom of

the Blacksmith and the feud between the red and black dragons. It has been two years since
Drepe, the Dark Lord of the Frozen Northlands, stole the magical Luchair Stones that safe-
guarded Rosemerta for generations. Lord Padraig and his army rode in pursuit of the Dark
Lord but never returned. After a strange messenger arrives with long awaited news, an an-

journey into icy wilderness to save their father’s army and the fortunes of Rosemerta. But
there is so much about their family and their own place in history that the children are yet to
discover. Why does Drepe really want the Luchair Stones? Is Devlin really the chosen one?
And why does their mother, a queen with secrets of her own, insist that Shay accompany
Devlin on his quest? Be prepared for bravery and betrayal, courage and adventure, destiny
and danger, beasts and bad guys.

The Land of Dragor is an enthralling children’s tale of magic, adventure, and acceptance, with a heartwarming moral center.
The Gift of Charms

Julia Suzuki
The first volume of a dragon-filled series that will enchant and entertain readers
“Fantasy fans will warm to this gently moral tale of how being different can be a
strength rather than something to be feared” —Daily Mail
“A beautifully presented, wonderfully unique debut.” —Sun
Hidden in a mist-filled valley, far away from the habitation of man, live the last of the
world’s dragons. Divided by clan but united by the need to conceal themselves from human-
kind, these creatures, supposedly of myth and fairy tale, live ordinary lives, while ever aware
that discovery will almost certainly be their undoing. Centuries ago, a great war spelled the
end of their slavery to mankind. But in separating themselves from the rest of the world, the
dragon clans have paid a heavy price. There is an emptiness in the Land of Dragor that did
not exist before, and all the elders feel it. Disharmony runs rife. The dragons have vowed
never to leave Dragor, but the youngest of them grow restless and superstitions abound. So
when a strange egg is laid, all fear what will come of it. Could Dragor be about to meet its
savior? Or its destroyer?
Julia Suzuki is the author of the Land of Dragor fantasy adventure series for children.

The Puppy Plan

Anna Wilson
The first book in a new series about a young girl who finally convinces her parents to
get her a puppy, and all of the adventures and chaos that ensue
In my life I have wished a million thousand times for a puppy, so I was officially over the
moon when I finally obtained parental consent to get Honey—the most absolutely softest
and velvetest Golden Labrador you have ever imagined. Since she moved in we have had
some extremely funny adventures while dealing with my weird sister April’s frankly unfor-
tunate love crush on Honey’s vet. It has all been rather manic, but luckily I am an expert in
defusing the tension and staying ahead of the game when it comes to this sort of situation,
as you will see.

Pup Idol

I hope everyone out there will know by now about how I, Summer Holly Love, finally
persuaded my mom to let me have a wonderful golden Labrador puppy of my own named
Honey. (If you are not aware of this, you can read all about it in The Puppy Plan, a fascinat-
ing and frankly gripping account of the Said Event.) Anyway, things have Moved On since
those early days of dog-ownership. Honey went through a bit of a Difficult Phase recently,
developing a taste for shoes (mainly flip-flops) and terrorizing dinner guests. So, to help her
through her Awkward Adolescence, I dutifully (and brilliantly) trained her at Obedience
Class and in the garden. And, hurrah! Honey’s amazing talents shone through just in time
for our School Talent Content, where we performed our “Pup Idol” star act—and became
Famous Celebrities in Our Own Right!

disaster?
Mom has given Summer two weeks to plan a surprise party for her glamorous older sister
April. Summer realizes that it is also her dog Honey’s birthday that week—and therefore

to anyone except her best friend, Molly Cook. Cut to party day, and utter mayhem is slowly
unfolding. Someone tries a dog biscuit, thinking it’s a trendy new kind of cookie, and Honey
and her doggy guests are tugging on the tablecloth, tearing open presents, and trashing the
house. Meanwhile April—who has been told to keep away until the last minute—is becoming
more and more over dramatical and suspicious. How will she react to the canine takeover of
her special day?

In their fourth adventure, Summer discovers that her dog, Honey, is pregnant—but

Life has been a bit yawnsome since I, Summer Holly Love, trained my golden Labrador,
Honey, to become a doggy of well-behaved and quietish proportions. Which is why it’s
so faberoony-tastic that Honey is expecting her very own litter of pups! Now that she
is a mom-to-be, her eating habits have gone loop-the-loop crazy, and she keeps building
strange nests all over our house. Meanwhile, I am having to sort out my sister’s love dramas
with her boyfriend, Nick the vet, who has been spending rather a lot of time with his new
nurse, Felicity Shufflebottom. Will the arrival of Honey’s tiny pups make everyone happier,
or will our household simply dissolve into mayhem and chaos?

Henry Lawson Treasury

Henry Lawson
Illustrations by Oslo Davis
A treasury of classic verses and short stories from one of Australia’s most important and best-
loved writers, Henry Lawson
Henry Lawson was born in 1867 in New South Wales, and wrote many of his most important
works about life in the Australian bush in the late 1800s. Known as the “Poet of the People,”

and often absurd humor that characterized life in the Australian outback in the early years of the
nation. This beautifully illustrated collection captures the essence of Henry Lawson’s best-loved
stories and poems, while also introducing readers to some of his lesser known works. Included are
such works as “The Loaded Dog,” “The Drover’s Wife,” and “Up the Country,” and many more.
Henry Lawson (1867–1922) was one of Australia’s best-loved writers and poets. Oslo Davis is an
illustrator and cartoonist. He has drawn for various publications, including the Age, the Austra-
lian Book Review, Desktop Magazine, and the New York Times.

DIAMOND SPIRIT
Brumby Mountain
Karen Wood
In this fifth book in the warm-hearted Diamond Spirit series, Jess and
Luke are out to foil the “brumby runners” who so callously trap wild
mountain horses and leave them broken and traumatized. Can they save
the wild horses?
“This is a satisfying horse story with a spirited heroine who is very

believable as she copes with issues of friendship and loss. . . . For those
looking for a good horse tale, this is a winner.” —School Library Jour-
nal on Diamond Spirit
“Although this book is an obvious choice for horse lovers, other readers
will appreciate its understated drama and clear prose. . . . Summery and
a little bit soapy, this is fine poolside reading.” —Booklist Online on
Diamond Spirit
Jess ran out to the front gate. “What are you doing? Where are you going?”
“I’m going to stop those brumby runners,” Luke wrenched open the door of
the ute and climbed in. “What brumby runners? You don’t even know who
they are or where they come from.” “I know where the horses come from.”
When Luke brings home a truckload of traumatized “brumbies,” or feral
horses, some with horrific injuries, Jess agrees something must be done. Can
Jess, Luke, and their friends foil the runners and save the wild mountain
horses from their cruel fate? And in going back to Matty’s Flat, will Luke
discover where he really belongs?

The Keeper
Darragh Martin
“A new star of the fantasy genre . . . kids will gobble up this magical treat.
The Keeper is far too good for my liking. Martin must be stopped.” —Eoin Colfer,
Artemis Fowl series
“A thrilling story mixing Irish myth and contemporary life.” —Irish Times

Ordinary books don’t move. Ordinary books are quite happy waiting to be picked up. You
could leave an ordinary book somewhere uncomfortable—at the bottom of a dark schoolbag
or in the middle of a shop window—and it wouldn’t dare budge, even if it had to sneeze.
Nobody had told the Book of Magic this, though, so it jumped into Oisín’s hands without so
much as a flap of its pages.
Oisín is not sure he wants to be Keeper of the Book of Magic—but when his little sister Sorcha
is kidnapped by the Morrígan, a raven-goddess with a heart as dark as her feathers, he has to
learn how to use the Book for good. Soon Oisín has a long journey ahead of him with only
Stephen, his annoying older brother, and Antimony, a headstrong orphan with her own quest,
to help him. Facing snow snakes, shadow fish, and mountains of wind, the three children have
to decide whether or not they can trust each other—and the mysterious Book that’s leading
them—if they want to reach the Morrígan’s Hill of Bones before it’s too late to get the last
ever train home. This thrilling Celtic fantasy is perfect for fans of J. K. Rowling, Eoin Colfer,
and J. R. R. Tolkien. A map and a glossary are included.
Darragh Martin was given a Fulbright Scholarship to develop his writing in 2006. He teaches
literature at Columbia University and lives in New York City.

Valentina
Kevin McDermott
Remarkable dystopian fiction told in the sharp voice of a heroine with a chip on

“McDermott skilfully links his speculative vision of a possible future with intriguing
echoes of the country’s history and, in the process, gives us a novel ambitious in its
scope and impressive in its attainment.” —Irish Times
“This caustic and profane teenager lives in our imagination, much as does Princess Mia
in Meg Cabot’s Princess Diaries. This is the work of an author playing adroitly to his
strengths.” —Books for Keeps
Most of the world is burning or flooded. The temperate zones are still habitable, and one
small island is teeming with climate refugees. Life in the Badlands is dangerous, disease
ridden, violent, and controlled by gangsters and terrorists. But Valentina lives high in the
privileged Citadel, at the heart of the heavily protected Green Zone. She is the president’s
daughter, sheltered, spoiled, and arrogant. When she makes a secret trip to the Badlands,
however, with her friends, Pippa and Damian, she is forced to face up to the realities of life
on the island and to the responsibilities her position brings with it. This work also features
a map and a glossary.

Bartolomé
The Infanta’s Pet
Rachel Van Kooij
Translated by Siobhán Parkinson
Commended for its treatment of disability, this is a beautifully written historical nov-
el with a gripping plot, in which being different ultimately makes an already strong
boy even stronger
“Wonderfully moving. . . . The translation by Siobhán Parkinson is excellent—so

good that the reader is never aware that it is a translation. This is a novel about hu-
manity as much as history, and will be enjoyed by both children and adults.”
—School Librarian
“Nothing is lost in translation in this special book that is part novel, part history and
wholly a work of art.” —Sunday Independent
• The International Board on Books for Young People selected Bartolomé
for its Young People with Disabilities catalog
Madrid in the 17th century is not a kind place for a dwarf like Bartolomé, and his family
has to keep him hidden in a small back room. His dream is to be able to read and write,
and when he hears that a dwarf like himself works in the King’s court, he is heartened,
knowing that he could have the chance to make something of himself, too. Then a plan goes awfully wrong, and the king’s little
daughter, the Infanta, sees Bartolomé and wants to have him as her “human dog.” Life in the royal palace is scary and humiliating—
until Bartolomé discovers the artist’s studio. Colorful, gripping, and written with real warmth, this is an inspiring story of courage
and hope.
Rachel van Kooij is author of several books. She has been a special needs teacher and currently works with people who are handi-
capped. Siobhán Parkinson is a translator, a publisher, and the author of more than 25 books, including Blue Like Friday, Kathleen:

It was a seascape, moody with rocks and cliffs and wild showers of spray. Ellie’s own re-
flection was drawn into it, like a ghost image among the lights and shadows. “That’s our
island,” Morag said. “It looks mysterious.” “It is. That’s where we’re going tomorrow.”
Ellie is excited to be going with Morag’s family to their beautiful island, but when she finds
herself abandoned there, things begin to change. Footsteps, shadows, strange lights, a haunt-
ing song; more and more she becomes aware that she is not really on her own.

Crooked Leg Road
Jennifer Walsh
Whispered secrets, a missing boy, a hidden shack, and a mysterious family. An exciting
new mystery adventure, perfect for fans of Enid Blyton and Arthur Ransome.
“I’m not saying anything until you tell me some stuff. Like, who are you really?” “I can’t
say,” said Skender. “We’re stuck, then,” said Kitty firmly. “But I am sorry about spying on
you. David’s grandfather says he hasn’t been kidnapped after all.” “You were right, though,
to think that he was in danger,” said Skender. “I heard my parents talking. I don’t think your
friend is safe at all.”
It’s the end of a long, hot summer, and mystery is the last thing on the minds of friends Kitty,
David, Andrea, and Martin. Then Andrea spots a strange van parked behind David’s house,
and a few days later, he disappears. Kitty is convinced he’s been kidnapped—and that the
secretive new boy has something to do with it—but David’s family say he’s safe. Only why
won’t they say where he’s gone? The friends don’t know it, but they’ve stumbled on a sinister
plot involving a criminal gang, a planned kidnapping, and a school event that could go very,
very wrong.

censored, deemed too political. Then rebel forces kidnap Amina’s brother, forcing him to be-
come a soldier in Somalia’s brutal ongoing war. Although her mother and grandmother are still
with her, Amina feels vulnerable and abandoned. Secretly, she begins to create her own artwork in the streets and the derelict
buildings to give herself a sense of hope and to let out the burden of her heart. Her artwork explodes into Mogadishu’s un-
derground world, providing a voice for people all over the city who hope for a better, more secure future.

REDISCOVERED CLASSICS
The Mark of the Horse Lord
Rosemary Sutcliff
“There was a smell of blood mingling with the smell of burning that still clung about
scorched timber and blackened thatch, and a great wailing rose from the watching
crowd. The old High Priest dipped a finger in the blood and made a sign with it on
Phaedrus’s forehead, above the Mark of the Horse Lord.”
• Co-op available
So began the ceremony that was to make young Phaedrus, ex-slave and gladiator, Horse Lord
of the Dalriadain. Phaedrus had come a long way since the fight in the arena that gained him
his freedom. He had left behind his old Roman life and identity and had entered another, more
primitive, world—that of the British tribes in the far north. In this world of superstition and
ancient ritual, of fierce loyalties and intertribal rivalry, Phaedrus found companionship and
love, and something more—a purpose and a meaning to his life as he came fully to understand
the significance of the Mark of the Horse Lord. First published in 1965 but long out of print,
The Mark of the Horse Lord has been acclaimed by many readers as the finest of Rosemary
Sutcliff’s many novels, imparting true insight into the nature of leadership, identity, heroism,
loyalty, and sacrifice.
Rosemary Sutcliff wrote more than 40 novels for young adults, including Black Ships Before
Troy, The Eagle of the Ninth, and The Wanderings of Odysseus; five adult novels, including Sword at Sunset; and several
books of nonfiction.

“The best children’s-fiction debut I’ve read in a long time. . . . Few authors can write hilar-
ious books about serious subjects without awkward shifts in tone, but Sullivan pulls it off
brilliantly.” —Irish Times
Primrose Leary has just started middle school. Likes: her pet rat, Roderick; her best friend, Joel;
and being a little bit different (but not in the weird different sense—she wouldn’t like to be the
only bald girl in her class or the only girl who always smelled of ham, or anything). Dislikes:
living with Fintan (her mustachioed dad), the boy school that Joel’s toddled off to without her,
and not having her mother around any more. Hilariously and cleverly written, Prim Improper

you? They could act all innocent, but you’d know from the rumors. You’d hear the whispers.
But what if you couldn’t hear those whispers anymore? Being a teenager is hard enough.
But what about being a deaf teenager? Demi is 15 years old when her world is shattered by
illness. Waking up in hospital, she can see people are talking and moving around her, but
she can hear nothing. As the days and weeks pass, it becomes clear that Demi is locked in a
silent world and this is a world she must now learn to navigate. This unique, touching story
explores the universal theme of finding your place, against a fascinating backdrop.

Counterfeit Love
Julie Fison
Is Lucy Yang’s perfect man not so perfect after all?

Lucy Yang is loving her first television job in Hong Kong. She works hard and plays hard, and
she doesn’t have time for a relationship if she wants to become a TV news anchor by the time
she’s 21. Besides, what man could live up to her impossibly high standards? Then she meets
Byron, and her world is turned upside-down. Funny, clever, and impossibly gorgeous, Byron
might just satisfy all of Lucy’s criteria. Sure, he’s a little cagey about his job, but what business-
man in Hong Kong doesn’t want to protect trade secrets? But as Lucy desperately tries to get
to the bottom of a potentially huge news story, Byron keeps popping up in the most unlikely
places. Is it just a coincidence? Or is Byron not the perfect man Lucy thought he was?
Julie Fison worked in television news internationally before becoming an author.

Modern Art Adventures
36 Creative, Hands-On Projects Inspired
by Artists from Monet to Banksy
Maja Pitamic and Jill Laidlaw
Bold and experimental art activities and for
children who love to draw outside of the lines
• Co-op available
Modern Art Adventures introduces young artists to
groundbreaking masterpieces and fresh techniques,
then lets them loose to create their own works of
art. Authors and educators Maja Pitamic and Jill
Laidlaw explore the stories and meanings behind
18 well-known works of modern art—including
Frida Kahlo’s Self-portrait with Small Monkey,
Edvard Munch’s The Scream, Jackson Pollock’s
Lavender Mist, and Banksy’s Flower—giving read-
ers inspiration for these kid-tested, exciting, and
creative projects. Children create two artworks
based on the techniques and visual effects of the
each featured piece of art and the projects cover a
wide range of media, from tissue paper mosaics to
stencils to comic cut-outs, with a variety of diffi-
culty levels, always encouraging and expanding the
child’s natural creative abilities. No prior knowl-
edge of modern art is required, just enthusiasm for
the subject and a willingness to discover.
Maja Pitamic has taught art to young children for
nearly 20 years. She is the author of the popular
Art Adventure books, Child’s Play, and I Can Do
It. Jill Laidlaw is the author of several books, in-
cluding Frida Kahlo, Paul Klee, and other works
on the history of Western painting and sculpture.
They both live in New York City.

Dig all the diamonds you want, build the biggest castle, or even kill
the Ender Dragon, but everyone knows there’s one thing that makes a
true Minecraft master: the ability to build with Redstone. Redstone is
the most complex and least understood part of the Minecraft world,

game. Few players learn everything they need to know to use Red-
stone effectively solely through gameplay. Enter Minecraft: The Ul-
timate Guide to Redstone, an easy-to-understand guide to mastering
this mysterious ore. Readers will find a step-by-step tutorial from the
most general, basic concepts of Redstone, such as how to use the right
tools to mine the greatest amount of it, all the way through to actual
project completion on the beginner, intermediate, and advanced lev-
els. This manual includes a comprehensive breakdown of each and
every Redstone-related item and how it works, as well as a guide to
wiring and engineering that’s so precise, those who use it will have
a basic working knowledge of actual, real-life electrical wiring. Also
included are samples from the best Redstone engineers and a gallery
of creations to inspire you in your Redstone builds.

Though 5 Seconds of Summer are opening for One Direction on their worldwide Take

pop-punk rockers from Sydney, Australia, aren’t just another boy band. They write their
own music, play their own instruments, and cite bands such as Blink-182, Green Day,
and All Time Low as their influences. Comprised of Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford,
Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin, 5SOS is leading the next wave of pop-punk sound—
and people are taking notice. Their meteoric rise took them from posting YouTube vid-
eos on Hemmings’ channel in December 2011 to performing on a major worldwide tour
less than two years later. You won’t want to miss 5 Seconds of Summer: She Looks So

WOMEN OF ACTION
She Takes a Stand

16 Fearless Activists Who Have Changed the World
Michael Elsohn Ross
Portraits of brave women from the late 1800s through today
• Co-op available
A source of inspiration for young women with strong social convictions, She Takes a Stand
highlights 16 extraordinary women who have fought for human rights, civil rights, workers’
rights, reproductive/sexual rights, and world peace. Among these are many who have been
imprisoned, threatened, or suffered financial hardships for pursuing their missions to change
the world for the better. Included are historic heroes such as anti-lynching crusader Ida B.
Wells and suffragist Alice Paul, along with contemporary figures such as girls-education ac-
tivist Malala Yousafzai; “Gulabi Gang” founder Sampat Pal Devi, who fights violence against
Indian women; and SPARK executive director Dana Edell, who works to end the sexualiza-
tion of women and girls in the media. Taking a multicultural, multinational perspective, She

Nellie Bly and Investigative Journalism for Kids

Mighty Muckrakers from the Golden Age to Today, with 21 Activities
Ellen Mahoney
An interactive activity book that details the muckraking era
• Co-op available
Nellie Bly and Investigative Journalism for Kids brings to light the evolving
world of American journalism, from the late 1800s to today. Focusing on the
bold, audacious investigative reporter Nellie Bly, one of the most famous wom-
en in the world in her day, the book presents journalism in a fun, inventive,
and exciting way. Budding reporters learn how Bly, who so desired to work in
the male-dominated world of reporting, willingly feigned her own insanity to
be committed to a mental asylum so she could go undercover and write about
it. Providing a comprehensive look at early social reform writers and reporters
who helped transform journalism, the book also introduces young readers to four famous early American muckrak-
ers—Jacob Riis, Ida Tarbell, Ida B. Wells, and Upton Sinclair—and concludes with a look at some of the modern era’s
most exciting and accomplished journalists. Twenty-one creative activities encourage a new generation to carry on the
muckraking tradition as kids learn how to make and keep a reporter’s notebook, write a letter to the editor, craft a “great
ideas” box, and much more. Packed with compelling photos and interesting sidebars, Nelly Bly and Investigative Journal-
ism for Kids will get young readers excited about the world of journalism and especially about writing.

The Great Depression for Kids

Hardship and Hope in 1930s America, with 21 Activities
Cheryl Mullenbach
American history before and after the Wall Street Crash of 1929
• Co-op available
Providing a balanced, realistic picture of a time rife with hardships, The Great
Depression for Kids brings the era and key concepts to life. Kids learn about
the harsh realities that most Americans could not escape, such as massive un-
employment, natural disasters, and economic collapse. They also learn that
the 1930s were a time when neighbors helped neighbors; sports figures be-
haved admirably; and an army of young men rebuilt the nation’s forests, roads,
and parks. Librarians delivered books on horseback, a curly-haired child star
charmed moviegoers to “stand up and cheer” in the darkest of days, and a little
African American girl became the first of her race to participate in the National Spelling Bee. Beginning with an in-depth
look at the 1920s, the book builds readers’ background knowledge to help set the stage for the decline of the economy
over the next decade. Twenty-one crosscurricular activities help kids learn how to research, buy, and sell stocks; use sci-
entific methods to conduct a survey, re-create Depression glassware; and much more.

Big Top Burning
The True Story of an Arsonist, a Missing Girl,
and The Greatest Show On Earth
Laura A. Woollett
Big Top Burning investigates the 1944 Hartford circus fire and
invites readers to take part in a critical evaluation of the evidence
• Co-op available
• An early draft of the manuscript received the SCBWI
Anna Cross-Giblin Work-in-Progress Grant, 2009
The fire broke out at 2:40 p.m. Thousands of men, women, and children
were crowded under Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey’s big top
watching the Flying Wallendas begin their death-defying high-wire act.
Suddenly someone screamed “Fire!” and the panic began. By 2:50 the
tent had burned to the ground. Not everyone had made it out alive.
With primary source documents and survivor interviews, Big Top Burn-
ing recounts the true story of the 1944 Hartford circus fire—one of the
worst fire disasters in U.S. history. Its remarkable characters include
Robert Segee, a 15-year-old circus roustabout and known pyromani-
ac, and the Cook children, Donald, Eleanor, and Edward, who were in
the audience when the circus tent caught fire. Guiding readers through
the investigations of the mysteries that make this moment in history so
fascinating, this book asks: Was the unidentified body of a little girl
nicknamed “Little Miss 1565” Eleanor Cook? Was the fire itself an act
of arson—and did Robert Segee set it? Big Top Burning combines a grip-
ping disaster story, an ongoing detective and forensics saga, and World
War II–era American history, inviting middle-grades readers to take part
in a critical evaluation of the evidence and draw their own conclusions.
Laura A. Woollett is an educational publisher in Cambridge, Massachu-
setts, where she writes and edits fiction and nonfiction texts for struggling
and reluctant readers. She is member of SCBWI and a former reviewer
for the Horn Book Guide. She lives in Framingham, Massachusetts.

Things to Make and Do with Your Children

Myleene Klass
Making your own lift-the-flap book, doing counting rhymes, making a height
chart—a collection of 150 inspiring and fun activities that will keep you and your
child busy, whether you have five minutes or five days
For busy parents who feel pressured to keep their children entertained while also making
sure they are learning, this book offers plenty of new ideas for activities, both indoors and
out, and often on the spur of the moment. They aren’t expensive or complicated and most
don’t need many ingredients or special equipment. A child development specialist has en-
sured that all the activities are not only fun but high in early learning content. Twelve dif-
ferent “development icons” alert parents to areas that are particularly stimulated by each
activity, such as creativity, fine motor skills, memory, problem-solving, or responsibility.
Whether they are “Taking Turns” (using a magazine to prompt a child to make up a story
based on each page’s pictures), performing “Water Music” (learning about pitch through
striking jars with different amounts of water), making “Fairy Wings” with wire and tights,
or playing one of many games for the car, children—and their caretakers—will be happy,
inspired, and entertained.
Myleene Klass is a musician, model, and singer.

Help! I’m a Granny
Flic Everett
Handy advice and true stories from grandmas who have had to relearn those tricky parent-
ing skills and acquire new ones for the digital age

of diapers, baby alarms, and toddler tantrums. This essential guide for new grandmothers takes
a humorous look at everything you need to know, from texting your first baby pictures to coping
with competitive moms at the nursery gates, and from how to Skype a bedtime story to what to
do when you never learned to knit.

Teenagers Translated
How to Raise Happy Teens
Janey Downshire
Illustrations by Naella Grew
An essential guide for parents of teenagers
The teenage years are acknowledged to be the most testing stage of parenting—when well-man-
nered and obedient children can transform into rude and rebellious teens. However, parenting a
teen doesn’t have to be a battle, and counselors Janey Downshire and Naella Grew have devel-
oped a program to help parents get the best out of the teenage years. Their approach is positive
and straightforward, providing simple strategies for nurturing better behavior and providing a
happy, supportive home environment. The book tackles how to help teens feel supported and
secure; strategies for improving communication; dealing with digital technology and media in-
fluences; and coping with challenging behavior, attitudes, and pastimes. It also covers drinking,
drugs, smoking, sex, porn, video games, bullying, peer pressure, loneliness, and eating disorders.
Janey Downshire and Naella Grew are both qualified counselors who specialize in teenage devel-
opment and emotional literacy. Together they run Teenagers Translated, a business focused on
aiding and guiding both parents and adolescents through the teenage years.

Fundamentals: A Guide for Parents, Teachers and Carers

on Mental Health and Self-Esteem
Natasha Devon and Lynn Crilly
Direct, practical advice for parents on helping teens boost their self-esteem
The importance of self-esteem has been stated to the point of losing all meaning, yet it’s essential
to every human being’s development and happiness. In what can be an incredibly toxic and fright-
ening modern culture, young people in particular are struggling to gain some vestige of self-esteem
and are subsequently battling myriad mental and physical health issues. For parents, teachers, and
caregivers who want to help but don’t know what they can do, there is Fundamentals—a self-
help book for people who are fed up with patronizing self-help books. This guide will give you
pragmatic, relevant advice on how to nurture self-esteem and discuss and deal with mental health
issues, delivered with positivity, humor, and realism. Although touching on specific issues such as
self-harm, eating disorders, and anxiety, this is more generally geared toward instilling confidence
and promoting a positive state of mind.
Natasha Devon is a journalist and activist who writes primarily about education, body image, and
feminism. Lynn Crilly is a counselor, a master practitioner of NLP, and the author of Hope with
Eating Disorders.
