Theodore Roosevelt apparently said that 'comparison is the thief of joy' and that's almost always true. But in this great-fun story, comparison is the key to all sorts of funny and joyful moments. Great lessons wrapped up in a hilarious and fast moving story.
ages 2 - 10 years
Underpants are endlessly funny and in this story they are also the source of much consternation as a family work to provide Queen Victoria herself with her first ever pair of knickers. Sophisticated humour with a bit of slapstick thrown in make it fun for all ages.

A brilliant fractured fairytale that introduces us to that famous cow's many attempts at a moon jump before that glorious moment when she actually made it. Funny and tender and full of hope for all of us who struggle.
Sometimes it takes a while to find a perfect friend or to recognise the greatness in someone who might be your friend. Sometimes we can overlook someone’s best efforts just because they don’t match our expectations. Sometimes we might not see the kindnesses we are being offered or the fun that is waiting for us. All those things happened to Ted.
