What a great selection we have for you this month! From a suspicious lion to a brave little mouse, there will be something here for you:
From the creator of Penguin and the Tilly and Friends series comes a wicked, rollicking read-aloud which asks the question:
Is a lion still a lion if he … wears a hat? And carries an umbrella? Is a lion
still a lion if he … arrives at your door and invites himself in with a “How do
you do?” (Isn’t he polite!) And is a lion still a lion if he asks for a dance?
What about when he licks his lips and says, “Oh yes, lunch would be lovely,
thank you...” Is a lion still a lion then?
Flap your wings, fly up high, open your beak and
sing in this fun action rhyme story about fantastical birds by multi-award-winning
author Lucy Cousins. "Can you imagine ... just for one day ... you're a
busy bird? Yes, a bird! Hooray!" Can you stand on one leg like a flamingo
or waddle like a penguin? How about say "cock-a-doodle-doo!",
"tuwit-tuwoo" and even "tra-la-la"? What a busy day you
will have!
A bouncy read-aloud book to be enjoyed; beautifully illustrated with
bold, bright colours and packed with all sorts of wild and wonderful birds!
Little Mouse wants to play in the woods. They are
dark and full of big scary animals. But Little Mouse isn't afraid of anything –
or is she? Lift the flap to find out. A charming story about bravery – with a
hilarious lift the flap surprise – from a Kate Greenaway Medal-shortlisted
illustrator, who has been described by The Washington Post as "the
thinking tot's Eric Carle".

illustrator from Prague whose use of bold colour and cut-outs makes him a cut
above" - The Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week
Hilda the
pot-bellied pig lives at the foot of a hill. Life is uneventful and she is
always where she expects herself to be. At the top of the hill lives a
mischievous baby who is never ever where people expect him to be … which is why
he is known as the Runaway Baby. But on a high-speed escapade in a pram, the
Runaway Baby and Hilda’s worlds collide ... and an unlikely friendship begins.
There are living things everywhere: the more we
look, the more we find. There are creatures on the tops of the tallest jungle
trees, at the bottom of the coldest oceans, even under the feathers of birds
and in boiling volcanic pools. So how many different kinds are there? One, two,
three ... lots!
