Ages 0–3From $39
A glorious birthday parade planned with two dinosaur best friends — a sock on Lumi's nose, the drum beater in a flowerpot, a ribbon knotted round the apple tree — and then the rain. Room for the disappointment, then a smaller first step: under the table, round the chair, cake for three.
Ages 3–7From $39
A first-birthday book for the day your little one turns ONE: one cupcake, one gold star — and a big round Moon peeking over the hills. “Hello, Moon!” calls Plum the teddy, and someone says it back. Three tries to reach Moon with the star, an echo that turns out to be just US, and a present given anyway.
Ages 1–3From $39
Saturday is Bike Day: the training wheels come off, a big brother holds the seat round the pond's ten lampposts — and somewhere near lamppost three, he lets go. A squirrel with a bell cheers every wobble.
Ages 3–6From $39
Born on the same day. Same nose, same dimple — but one loves thunder and one loves snails, and a parrot who says everything twice can't tell them apart. A book where BOTH twins are the hero, each painted from their own photo.
Ages 2–7From $39
Your child LOVES parties — big ideas, a big voice, and a plush flamingo named Pip. So when baby Max comes home, the welcome party is LOUD… and SURPRISE! makes him cry. With a little help from Dot the ladybug, your child learns how big a party should be for a baby: one balloon, one tiny song.
Ages 2–6From $39

Ages 2–6From $39

Ages 2–6From $39
The first day of kindergarten, and the backpack is very heavy — a snack, a jumper, a plush fox and a lot of worries. One part of the day at a time, with a brand-new friend and half a cracker, the worries get used up, until by pick-up time it weighs almost nothing.
Ages 3–6From $39
Puddle is a duck. Puddle is scared of water. (Yes. A duck.) So your little one shows him how — one toe, two feet, a little sit-down splash — until SPLASH! SPLASH! QUACK! A board-style book for the littlest readers about being brave one small step at a time.
Ages 0–3From $39
Binky at breakfast. Binky on the swing. Binky ALL day! But when your little one wants to sing, blow bubbles or say “I love you” — MMM-MMM! So one day: POP! Out it comes. “I am BIG now. Bye-bye, Binky!” A sunny, gentle book about saying goodbye to the pacifier — the child's own brave choice.

Ages 2–3From $39
A big box with a yellow bow — what's inside? A hat? A drum? A CAR? “Rawr!” says Rexy the plush T-rex. That means POTTY! A silly potty adventure your little one tells in their own voice: a shorts-on oops, nothing happening (that's OKAY), the WIGGLE, a run along the dino footprints — just in time — and a gold star.
Ages 1–3From $39
One kite. Two boots. Three ducks… Your child counts everything, and Tally the raccoon checks. A bright numeral-and-ten-frame counting book from 1 to 10 — every page one big number facing exactly that many things to point at — then counting by twos and by fives.
Ages 2–5From $39
One block — HOORAY! Two blocks — HOORAY! Three blocks… wobble… CRASH! A cheering bird, a roly-poly who never stays down, and a toddler who learns that whoops is okay — so build it again.

A runaway meerkat who wants the best lookout, a giraffe who steals the map, an elephant who soaks everyone — ten amazing animals, ten real facts, one wild day at the zoo.
Ages 3–7From $39
A warm, speckled egg cracks — and out pops Blip, a tiny green dinosaur who says only one word: “Blip!” But what KIND is it? Professor Pebble the tortoise checks eight real dinosaurs, each on its own museum label: three horns, back plates, the longest neck, feathers, a HONK, the same tiny arms as the T. rex… not that kind. So your child picks up the pencil and writes a brand-new label.

Ages 3–7From $39
A silver ladder appears outside the window and climbs all the way to the moon — through the clouds, past a runaway balloon, into black sky and slow floating jumps. Halfway up it gets scary, and nobody says hurry. At the top waits a secret only a brave heart can keep.
Ages 3–7From $39
An old torn kite, a mountain whose wind "eats kites", a mouse who wants to go-go-go and a heron who says wait. Three tries, three tumbles, three "Not yet"s — until nobody runs, everyone counts the wind's breaths, and the kite flies higher than any kite ever has.
Ages 3–7From $39

Ages 4–8From $39
Eight rounds in a dusty arena with Mudge, the lime-green monster truck who hates mud — over the mound, over the tyre stack, off the big orange ramp. At the end waits the Mud Monster: a dark puddle with two eyes. So your child climbs down, pokes it with one finger… just mud. SPLOOSH — straight through the middle.
Ages 3–5From $39
A kingdom hiding behind closed shutters, a crown that will only shine for the bravest heart, and the smallest princess there has ever been — who walks up to a dragon as big as a hill and finds out what brave really means.

Ages 3–8From $39
A mermaid has lost her song, a crab in a teacup knows things, and your child only sings into a raincoat hood since somebody laughed. On the night of the tide, somebody has to sing the moon up — loud, wobbly, and their own.
Ages 3–7From $39
It's Carrot Nose Day, and the snowman needs a nose — but the carrot is gone. A pinecone is too tickly, a twig too pokey, an icicle too drippy… until tiny bunny tracks lead to the woodpile, and your child finds a way to give two new friends a nose.
Ages 2–6From $39
On the longest night of the year every light goes out — POP. With a tiny ice sprite and a very large yeti cub who is afraid of the dark, your child makes their own light: jar lanterns, a shadow show, cocoa, a story and a song… until the sun comes home a little sooner.
Ages 3–7From $39
On a polar night a little bear cub sits out on the ice, wide awake. Your child follows him, with a snowy owl gliding ahead, all the way to the northern lights — a hushed question-and-answer lullaby that ends, softly, in bed.

Ages 3–6From $39
On Thanksgiving morning the pie is too hot, so your child waits under the big oak with a huge, patient Bear. "Is it time yet?" "Not yet." A squirrel who can't wait, a table built from a crate, geese at sunset — and a warm, funny story about the good things worth waiting for.
Ages 2–6From $39

Ages 3–7From $39
Firefighter, chef, astronaut, vet, captain, explorer… Your child tries on eleven jobs — each with its own costume, its own lettering and its own big dream — while Pesto the parrot wears a tiny hat for every one. And on the last page? Just them, exactly as old as they are today.
Ages 3–6From $39
Something under the hedge is glowing: two thimble fairies no taller than your child's thumb, and a lantern seed that is nearly out. To carry them to the top of the garden, your child learns to be gentle — hands like a nest, one finger, slow as a snail.

A jungle where the rain is late and every animal thinks its own sound is the best — until your child, a cooking pot and a wooden spoon get the whole jungle to play together.

Ages 3–7From $39

Ages 3–7From $39

Ages 3–7From $39

Ages 2–6From $39
“Good morning, me! HOORAY for me!” Your child likes themselves from nose to knees — but two shy garden friends don't: Lulu the hippo is too BIG, and Boing the bunny's ear flops. A sparkly star mirror, three silly tries to change, and the HOORAY game that turns big into the biggest hugs. A joyful book about liking exactly who you are.
Ages 3–6From $39
One morning your child tries on a different name, like a hat — MAX, BEAR, FOX, ROCKET, SHADOW — each one on a real HELLO sticker, each one crossed out, while a chameleon changes colour to match. Then the chameleon turns green and points at the mirror, and your child writes their own name, one letter at a time. It fits exactly.
Ages 3–6From $39
Grandpa has made a Christmas Eve LIST — find a tree, make the trimmings, bake the gingerbread… with Parsnip the goat eating everything on the way. And at the very bottom, under a cocoa ring, one tiny line he just can't seem to read.
Ages 3–7From $39
The King and Queen are away till midnight, one prince is the ELDEST and the other the CLEVEREST — so they cut the palace in half with a crimson ribbon. A tree stuck in the door, a thousand candles blown out, a peacock stealing baubles… and one Crown Star only two brothers together can reach.
Ages 3–7From $39

Ages 0–2From $39
A valentine for everyone — a tiny one for Bean the hamster, a fish heart on a stick for the grumpy cat, a thank-you for the postbox that never got a card, the most glitter for Grandma. When the bag is empty, everyone has a card except one. So Bean and Mabel the pigeon make the last one, for your child.
Ages 3–5From $39
One sunflower seed planted in the snow, one ruler, and a very long wait. “Too early,” says Robin. “We'll see,” says your child. Nothing — still nothing — while underneath Sir Wiggles the crowned worm watches a root grow. Then one morning: green. A funny spring book about waiting for something wonderful to grow.
Ages 3–5From $39
Eleven chairs, eleven plates — and your child makes a crayon THANK-YOU for every one: a gravy spoon that came out like a fish, the blue sock Biscuit the dog FOUND, the peas card Biscuit ate (CRUNCH). Then everybody reads theirs out loud, and one plate has no card at all… until Grandma turns it over.
Ages 3–6From $39
Sunday is Mother's Day, and your child is going to give Mom EVERYTHING she loves best — the morning smell caught in a jam jar, the wobbly song she sings wrong on purpose, held shut in a tin can, a dandelion wish, the quiet scooped into a shoebox — all in one basket, all in their own handwriting. But on Sunday the basket is empty. Or is it?
Ages 3–6From $39
Dad comes home too tired to laugh at the welcome dance — so your child and Mister Toes, a very bossy sock puppet, draw a Laugh Map: a funny face, a cardboard-box show, the biggest pillow fort ever… and one last secret, level FOUR.
