|---|---|
| SCAREDY CAT AND BOO 2008 Hodder Children's Books | Scaredy Cat is, as his name suggests, scared. He's scared of just about everything from noises to shadows, that is until he meets Boo - a little mouse with a lot of confidence. Wonderfully illustrated this contemporary picture book about two very lovable characters teaches us how to face our fears with a little bit of help from our friends. |
| JAKE CAKE AND THE PIRATE CURSE 2008 Puffin | The fifth book about Jake Cake and his EXTRAORDINARY adventures. Here are three more hilarious stories, written in Jake Cake's own notebooks and embellished with his very funny comments and illustrations. It's not Jake's fault that he gets cursed by the ghost of Old Crusty, the fierce pirate (get those decks swabbed!), meets an alien pretending to be his granny and rubs up against a really mean genie! |
| JAKE CAKE AND THE FOOTBALL BEAST 2008 Puffin | Have you ever met a yeti playing football, a very tricky sea monster or a REAL phantom on the ghost train at the funfair? Jake has, and here's what happened when he met them! (Nobody believed him, of course.) |

| MY BRILLIANT BOOK 2009 Simon & Schuster Children's | When Sam gets bored of all his books, he decides to make a book of his very own - a brilliant book with lots of brilliant things in it, like dinosaurs, cowboys, aliens and much more. But when Sam's sister points out that his book doesn't make sense, Sam has another idea and, suddenly, his book is better than ever. A fabulously entertaining book within a book, with quirky illustrations, a contemporary voice and a mini "brilliant book" for the reader inside. |
