Winnie the Witch is getting ready for the Witches' Magic Show. She can't wait to show off her favourite spells with her magic wand. But when Winnie inadvertently puts her wand in the washing machine with her party dress it comes out crumpled, soggy, and certainly not in working order! How is Winnie going to wow her friends at the show? Wilbur dashes into town and buys a new wand for Winnie. She's delighted and rushes with Wilbur to the show. The problem is her wand is only a trick wand and so when all eyes are on Winnie nothing happens as she tries to turn Wilbur into a green cat. In desperation, she waves her wand over and over and suddenly... a bunch of flowers bursts from the tip. The audience just loves Winnie and Wilbur's hilarious routine and a disaster turns into a triumph! This is a magical story and the sounds of a clanking, fizzing washing machine, Wilbur racing against the clock, the hush of an expectant audience and roars of delighted laughter are just some of the wonderful additions to the narration of Winnie's Magic Wand on the accompanying audio CD. |

'Once, a long time ago, in a town called Nazareth, a little donkey was born.' As the wonderful events of the Nativity unfold, Brian Wildsmith tells of the journey of a little girl and a donkey to Bethlehem. It is their perspective on the Christmas story that gives the book such an intimate, innocent and child-centred appeal. This classic story from one of our most internationally acclaimed picture-book writers and artists has deservedly become an enduring favourite with children at Christmas time. Now, a stunning new cover design will delight a whole new generation of young Wildsmith fans. |

This beautiful book will delight young animal lovers. Through evocative paintings, children are brought face to face with wildlife from around the world. Brian Wildsmith has captured the essence of each animal — from the playfulness of otters to a noisy gathering of parrots. His panoramic pictures also give a real sense of the animals' habitats-from a sun-soaked plain where elephants roam to icy Antarctica where penguins huddle together. Collective nouns — some familiar, others wonderfully surprising — are used to describe each group of animals. This is a book that will inspire a love of nature and a respect for animals from the earliest age. |

With beautiful colour illustrations throughout, this collection makes a perfect gift at Christmas. |

When Puddle was barely more than an egg, he couldn't wait to start duckling school.' So begins this story about feelings of excitement, anticipation, and understandable nervousness that surround an approaching first day at nursery school. Puddle, a little duckling, is like so many preschool children in desperately wanting to be grown-up enough to go to school and to have his own school bag. But as the day draws nearer, Puddle begins to feel rather wobbly about the whole concept! Luckily Mummy knows just what to do. She packs items into Puddle's school bag that will help him through his first day — one of her softest feathers to remind him she is never far away, some home-made biscuits for him to share with his new friends, his Cuddly for the afternoon nap — and, as the story unfolds, we discover how Puddle's enjoyment of his first day builds each time he finds one of Mummy's tokens in his bag. Puddle spends a happy day counting caterpillars, matching ladybirds, leaping from lily pad to lily pad, and decorating a leafy twig. So, by going-home time, he can put his twig in his bag to take home for Mummy. This is just the right story to boost confidence for those starting preschool, nursery or kindergarten — children will love to share everything about Puddle's first day. |

John Foster and Korky Paul's phenomenally successful poetry partnership began over 10 years ago, with the publication of this book. The combination of John's inspired, witty selection of poems, with Korky's crazily imaginative and anarchic illustrations, has proved exceptionally popular. Features a fantastic range of poets including Jack Prelutsky, Tony Bradman, Adrian Henri., Ian Serraillier and Judith Nicholls. The mixture of funny poems and zany illustrations makes this book a great way to introduce young children to poetry. |
