Synopses

The Great Cheese Robbery

Daddy Elephant is as big and strong as a tractor, but he is terrified of mice. When a mouse tries to steal the elephants’ cheese, Daddy is too scared to stop him. Patrick Elephant may be the one who can save the cheese and help his father.

Bug Bear

A bothersome bug wants a warm place to stay, and Bear’s thick fur seems ideal. Bear struggles to get the wiggly, tickly visitor to buzz off. The story is described as a hilariously entertaining picture book with bright, engaging illustrations.

Dangerous

Appearances can be deceptive in this quirky, funny picture book by Tim Warnes. Mole loves labelling things, but when he finds a strange, lumpy, bumpy thing with snippy-snappy teeth, he does not know what to call it. Mole wonders if it could be dangerous.

Duck Says Don't

With Goose on holiday, Duck looks after her pond, but becomes far too enthusiastic. He bans splashing, fishing and racing, and puts up signs everywhere because he is in charge. As friends begin to leave, Duck must learn his lesson before it is too late.

The Great Monster Hunt

Early one morning, Duck is woken by a funny noise coming from right under her bed. It sounds like pshhh-pshh, and she is too afraid to look. Duck is not quite sure what it is.

I'm Not Sleepy

It is bedtime, but Mo is not sleepy and wants to play. Grandma insists someone has to go to bed, and suggests she could go instead while Mo stays up. Mo agrees, but discovers that putting Grandma to bed is harder than he expected.

Bear's Big Bottom

Bear is friendly and sweet, but his very big bottom causes chaos: bump, crash, splat. Soon he is in big trouble and must try to make it up to his friends. The story promises bottom-based mishaps with bears and animal friends.

Squish Squash Squeeze

Mouse’s new house seems perfect, with just enough room for his things, but something is not quite right. A tiger, crocodile and bear are hidden inside, and very big animals appear to be living there. The book includes a pop-up, pull-out ending.

Hippobottymus

The jungle animals make music to the sound of a bubbling creek: plinkety-plonk and tweetily-tweet. Then a naughty hippo causes a bonkers, musical rhyming story with a farting surprise. Readers are invited to dance and sing along to the noises and bottoms.

The Lamb who came for Dinner

A hungry old wolf receives an unexpected visit from a little lamb and starts planning a lamb hotpot. The lamb does not want to be the wolf’s dinner. Instead, she wants to be his friend.
