Packed with step-by-step instructions and magical accessories so readers can perform their own tricks, Illusionology is an indispensable guide for all aspiring wonder-workers. • • • •

helen ward jemmy button Alix Barzelay • illustrated by Jennifer Uman & Valerio Vidali May 12
Inspired by the life of Jemmy Button, a native of Tierra del Fuego who was brought into England in the mid-1800s to be ‘educated and civilised’ by British missionaries and explorers – this retro-style book illustrates Jemmy’s adventures in England and his return back home. This beautiful collaboration between Jennifer Uman and
Valerio Vidali was actually born via Google Translate – as neither Jennifer or Valerio spoke each other’s language when beginning this project!

To a monkey, the crescent moon looks like a delicious banana; to the mice, the half-moon looks like cheese. Only the child knows that the moon is the Moon and that it is time to go to sleep… With clever die-cuts on every spread, watch the moon grow and change shape.
When Molly shares a secret with Olive, the urge to tell is just too great for Olive. She tells Joe who tells Matt who tells Lola. But Lola is best friends with Molly. The secret is out, and Olive is in big trouble! Tor’s endearing animal characters are adorably childlike in their mannerisms, behaviour and dialogue.

Lonely Clarence tries to join in with the other animals’ games, but he frightens them all away. When a bigger, scarier crocodile arrives, Clarence is terrified, until he realises that appearances can be deceptive, and the big croc only wants to play!
When Lion curls up for a snooze, he can’t get a moment’s peace – first the monkeys need a favour, then a baby giraffe, and then an elephant. And finally, as Lion settles down at last, his cubs appear – it’s playtime, Dad!
When one bored little penguin decides there’s nothing to do at the South Pole, his friends leap into action to show him how to have some frosty fun.
