There’s a Bear on My Chair
Poor Mouse! A bear has decided to settle in his favourite chair, and that chair just isn’t big enough for them to share. Mouse tried all kinds of tactics to move Bear – from glaring at him and scaring him, to luring him with a pear, but nothing works.
Any little ones (or grown-ups) who have had to deal with a bigger child playing with their favourite toy or sitting in their chair with empathise with Mouse’s increasingly desperate attempts to get Bear out of the chair.
With echoes of Dr Seuss, this joyously illustrated picture book by a multi-award-winning talent is perfect for sharing and guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.
The Elephantom
The Elephantom tells the story of a little girl who finds that being haunted by an Elephant is not nearly as much fun as she had hoped. The bothersome phantom rides up and down the stairs at night on a scooter, eats all her peanut butter and has his friends over for rowdy parties. Her parents are no help but luckily Granny has the perfect solution. . .
