Young readers will want to hear the quack-happy rhythms of this lively read-aloud book over and over again.

Bush Baby is so lonely - nobody wants to be her friend. Giraffe thinks she's too small. She's not pink enough for Flamingo. They just can't they see past how she looks. Lion, however, thinks she is just right to be his friend. And he'd never be so rude as to eat a friend. Is Bush Baby very brave, very foolish, or just very, very lonely?

"Mr and Mrs Homeowner have a mouse in their house, and they want it gone. Mr Bosh - big chief mouse-catcher, and Mr Bumble - assistant mouse-catcher (wearing shoes that squeak like a mouse) arrive on the scene. They try all the old tricks: setting a trap, bringing in a (big!) cat, inviting an elephant round... but the mouse is always one step ahead."--Provided by publisher.

Comprising three stories and two rhymes "A little too late", "Birthday boy", "Happy family", "Make a cake" and "Hop hop hop", this book introduces important reading vocabulary and progresses from two simple words on a page to a simple sentence. The illustrations give direct clues to the words.

A refreshing take on an all-too-important topic. Neo spends all his time playing his favorite video game, joining forces with other Earth-bots to defend the planet against invading aliens. But when his sea creature neighbors won’t stop pleading with him to help them clean up the plastic that’s ruining the ocean, Neo reluctantly agrees to check it out, and he’s shocked by what he discovers. There’s an actual invasion taking place right outside his door — a plastic invasion! And it’s too big to handle on his own! Sure to inspire real Earth-bots — er, children — everywhere to heed Neo’s call to protect the oceans from plastic!
