Marvin is not happy. Why are the other sheep bigger than him? And why are they faster than him? And WHY can they jump higher than him?
Something has to change, and Marvin knows exactly how to change it . . . by EATING! Because if he's bigger than the other sheep, then surely he will be better, too?
And after eating the grass and the flowers and the bushes, Marvin wants more. And after eating the trees and the clouds and the sky, Marvin still wants more! But what happens when there's nothing more left for Marvin to eat?
A brilliantly funny picture book about a brilliantly greedy sheep!

She can tell exactly what Tom wants from a simple 'purr' or 'miaow'. They are the perfect team, best friends until . . . Tom begins to learn 'HUMAN'. Suddenly, Tom is not quite as cute as he first seemed. SOMEONE has not been nice . . .
Find out just how much mischief one rascally cat can get up to in this rebelliously funny picture book.

When the day is done and sleep draws near,
When the moon's aglow and stars appear.
I'll whisper something crystal clear -
Words meant just for you to hear.
As nighttime falls and the moon starts to shine, parents and children across the world snuggle up together. So cuddle close, because it's time for a bedtime story.
With a gentle message and beautifully tender illustrations, My Little Star is the perfect way to end the day with your own little star.

Rory loves to cook. He's always inventing new recipes like blue pancakes, cheese bats and hairy cakes . . .
One evening, when his mum and dad go out to dinner, leaving Rory and his siblings with the babysitter, tummies start to rumble.
It's time for Rory to cook up a real monster feast!
A hilarious and unexpected tale – with a twist of pepper!
5. Don't Call Me Sweet! by Smriti Prasadam-Halls, Angie Rozelaar
I'm a giant monster, with sharp, sharp claws.
I've got big, spiky teeth and loud, loud roars.
Which is why I say, to everyone I meet . . .
CALL ME SCARY . . . DON'T CALL ME SWEET!
Everyone thinks that little monsters are cute and cuddly, but this monster's grumpy and grouchy. Honest! He does REAL monster stuff, like stomping around and eating squishy, squelchy food like bug eye stew. He's brave, too - he's not scared of ANYTHING. Not even big, hairy ogres . . .
. . . Wait, is that a big, hairy ogre? HELP!
6. There's a Lion in My Cornflakes by Michelle Robinson, Jim Field

Came to number 24.
It was from a next-door neighbour
Who they'd never met before.

Not to mention his scaly skin . . . Yes, there's no two ways about it, he's definitely a CROCODILE. Erm, crocodiles don't eat children, do they?

8. Wanted! Ralfy Rabbit, Book Burglar by Emily MacKenzie

A wonderfully funny story from a talented new author/illustrator.
9. The Trouble with Dragons by Debi Gliori
The world is populated by some beastly dragons who care nothing for how much they pollute the oceans, chop down the trees, gobble up all the food and use everything up without stopping to think.
Those dragons need to wake up to what they are doing to their world before it is too late . . .
An energy-filled picture book that addresses concerns about the environment in the most child-centric and delightful way possible.
10.Little Lou and the Woolly Mammoth by Paula Bowles
When Little Lou finds a wriggly, squiggly piece of wool amongst a pile of toys, she curiously gives it a tug. But - what's this? The wool tugs back - there's something at the other end! And as Little Lou follows the wool, she realises that it's attached to . . . A giant woolly mammoth! Quick, RUN!
But soon the woolly mammoth gets snagged, and he starts to get smaller . . . And smaller . . . And smaller. In fact, he is so small that he doesn't really seem so scary anymore - he's just the right size for a cuddle!
A charming tale of fear, friendship and not judging a book by it's cover, beautifully illustrated by Paula Bowles.
