ages 0 to 8 years—always a fabulous, funny gift!
There are exactly four words in this book—good, bad, news and very! But they tell a super story—of a hopelessly optimistic rabbit and an equally hopelessly pessimistic mouse who are about to share a picnic.
Every once in a while, we each need something to jolt us out of the everyday and remind us that we each have it in us to do and be great. Amazing Babes does that - it's a book that's lovely to touch and to feel, beautiful to look at and simply inspiring to read.
ages 0 to >100 years
This is a brilliantly informative and fun book. It’s all about scale. Scale is tricky to understand for young children, but numbers can get so big that it becomes almost impossible to get a sense of scale even for older children, teens and adults. That's where this book comes in.
ages 4 years to grownup
This very beautiful picture book is about Rose, who is “a new face in a new street.” It's a daunting prospect for anyone, young or old. This is a book that adults will love to look at and read aloud, for the gentle reminders they’ll find as much as the sheer loveliness of it.

If Goldilocks has to go back and apologise to the Three Bears, or if Belle decides she needs to go to university after seeing the Beast’s magnificent library, or if Jack enters into a partnership with the Giant and they build a theme park in the clouds…. you’re probably enjoying a fractured fairytale!
ages 2 to 8 years
A really funny look at a donkey who lives inside! (There are more positives than you might think.) Great for musing about how other people live—and the possibility that there could be more than one good choice in life.
There's quite the craze happening for this book - simply because it's heaps of fun! It really is a book with no pictures, but. There are typeface changes, colour changes and white space. Which all go together to give it plenty of life. It's funny and it's great.
