Betty and the Yeti

Betty's out for a walk in the snow when she finds a jingly jangly hat, a scarf, and a giant coat that comes down to her knees. They don't belong to the polar bear, the whale or the arctic hare, so just whose are they?

​

A wintry story of sledging and lost property, this comic tale is ultimately about acceptance and friendship...and it has a glittery cover too!

"The rhyming text helps make this story a lovely read-aloud, and the lovely wintery feel to the story makes it a perfect story to cuddle with in these long evenings. And did I mention the glittery cover?"

​Bear and Me ​

A little girl, and her teddy bear, are too small to swim, or fly, or climb. But that's O.K., because she knows that one day they will both be big enough to do all of those things.

"This is a gorgeously simple, spare, understated picture book about growing up, friendship and bravery. The illustrations are full of incidental detail to linger over. The story is about taking things slowly and not feeling pressurised to do too much before you are ready."

Monsters Don't Cry ​

By Brett McKee
​
When an over exuberant, robust little monster gets into all sorts of scrapes, it's his trusty teddy who acts as fall guy for his mishaps in this humorous and heart-warming book by author Brett McKee, with illustrations by Ella Burfoot.

"as we make our way through this beautifully illustrated story, Archie learns that, sometimes, little monsters don't always have to be brave. Especially when Mummy and Daddy monster are at hand to make everything all right...I recommend this book as a terrific tale with a purpose that is both lively and fun with a lovely message."
