Actress and writer Nanette Newman has written this touchingly beautiful book that will help young readers to deal with bereavement. Ben adores his pet dog, Charlie. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says about ‘that dog’ – Ben knows that he is wonderful! But one day Charlie dies and Ben is left heartbroken. When a lost puppy turns up in need of a good home and a boy’s love, can Ben learn to love again?
Look! A shadow! It’s BIG and it can tiptoe, run, wave and spin, just like the child who makes it. Mysterious and a bit scary at first, the shadow becomes the child’s exuberant playmate. Then the sun goes behind a cloud and the shadow disappears. A dance between child and shadow, magically told and illustrated.
A charming tale about the adventures a little boy has with his cuddly toy turtle. Turtle gets covered in spaghetti, chewed by a puppy, and ripped in a tug of war, but despite all of this the little boy still loves him. But will this love last forever?

alienologyTM Dugald A. Steer • illustrated by various artists Available now
Have you ever wondered whether your teacher, your pet or even your parents might be aliens in disguise? Is it possible that NASA owes its achievements to extraterrestrials passing on their knowledge? What if H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds was, in fact, a blueprint for alien invasion? These are just some of the questions posed by Professor Allen Gray, in Alienology.
Combining space fact and fiction, Alienology is the ultimate guide to alien life, offering readers the chance to become members of S.P.A.C.E (the Society for the Promotion of Alien Contact with Earth). Professor Gray tests readers with a series of brainteasing logic puzzles to see who has what it takes to help save the world from a deadly, life-sapping slime that is spreading from planet to planet. • 32pp • 300 x 254mm • hardback

Big Dog and Little Dog want to have some fun, but can two such different dogs really be best friends? When one is cold, the other’s hot, when one is fast, the other’s not. These two opposites just can’t agree – that’s until they’re both hungry and dinner time comes around.
Little Tortoise wants to sleep, but he can’t find the perfect home. Join him as he takes a look at animal homes of all shapes and sizes, until he meets a snail who shows him that – with a shell on his back – the ideal home is very close indeed.
Little Monkey is lonely, so he spreads the word that he wants to meet some friends. Helped by all the jungle animals, monkey soon finds not one, not two, not three, but lots and lots of monkeys come to play – it’s a jungle party and it all started with one! • • • •
