SANDIES IN THE BEACH HUTS This delightful collection of original short stories will appeal to children aged from five upwards. Based on real-life events along the coast, these enchanting tales combine detailed observations with a magical sense of humour. Sandies are engaging characters who, unknown to the owners, live under the floorboards of beach huts along the promenade. They come out at dusk and are tiny – no bigger than your middle finger “including the nail”. Their hair colour echoes the huts under which they live, “so you might meet, for example, an egg-yellow sandy or a sky-blue sandy or even a bottle-green sandy, but never a coal-black one or a shiny-white one as no-one ever paints the doors these colours”. The book is illustrated in black-and-white by the popular artist Emma Ball.

HELLO AGAIN SANDIES!! The Sandies are back again in this eagerly awaited sequel to Sandies in the Beach Huts. Their adventures, once again attractively illustrated by Emma Ball, involve surf-boarding on cuttlebones, making a coracle from a broken bicycle basket and coming across a message in a bottle. Life can be scary for the little people – but the stories always have a happy ending.

THE LIZARDS OF CORNWALL This attractively illustrated collection of stories for young children features Dizzy, Lizzie and Reginald, marine lizards who live at the south-western tip of England. It’s a beautiful place, but it can be just a little dangerous, too – as our young adventurers discover time and time again! |

WILBUR, THE DUCK WHO HATED GETTING HIS FEET WET Another one for younger readers. It’s difficult being a duck if you don’t like water, but fortunately young Wilbur has good friends about him.There’s Orville, the kindly woodpecker who has problems of his own (a pair of goggles soon sorts him out), and there’s six-year-old Victoria Jane over at the farm who stirs up the delicious drink called Supasip. Finally there’s the lovely female duck Donna, who takes a shine to Wilbur and teaches him how to build a nest. Before you know it there’s a brood of little ducklings on the way – and those rather ridiculous red wellies have been long forgotten!

THE TWITCHES/THE TWITCHES ON HORRIDAY Two for the price of one here, because once youngsters have finished the first tale they turn the book round the other way and start the second one from the other end! The Twitches are gruesome twin witches with disgusting habits, who like nothing better than mess and mayhem. Fortunately, perhaps, they’re not quite as good at their spells as they’d like to be. Lavishly illustrated in black-and-white, and just right for early readers. |
