A Snow Day for Amos McGee
Philip C. Stead & Erin E. Stead

A story like a warm blanket. Perfect snow day book. What a lovely echo of the original - Sick Day for Amos McGee.
Cover for A Snow Day for Amos McGee. Shows an old may wearing green show suit and red gloves and hat with his animal - an elephant, a penguin and a tortise, putting the last touches on a show man.

The mermaid gave a wink and said "There's always time for more!"
And showed Bea how to ride the big white horses to the shore.

Great advice. If you don’t have any gay friends, poor you, but also there are some great picturebooks out there like “Grandad’s Camper“ which you can use to introduce your children to gay relationships www.harrywoodgate.com/grandadscamper

In front of her was quite a sight - a giant humpback whale!
"Oh yes!" cried Bea, "Please come with me! I need to use your tail!"

Diggers, Dozers & Dumpers
Ole Konnecke

Got a big machine lover? They will adore this.
Boyton-esque animals using all sorts of heavy machinery for useful and ridiculous purposes. Cute!
Cover for Diggers, Dozers & Dumpers. On a blue background a grey fox is using a red digger to lift white sheep from a dug hole.
