TOGETHER

'Mamma, will you hold my hand?'
'I'll hold your hand and you'll
hold mine, and we'll go
everywhere together,' said Mamma.



Tib & Tumtum

All of the grownups in Tib's prehistoric tribe know that the dinosaurs disappeared ages ago. So of course they don't believe that Tib has made friends with one. But Tumtum the dinosaur is very clever at hiding from grownups. When the friendly red dino saves the tribe's kids from a pack of hungry wolves while the startled adults look on, the shaman decides that perhaps it's time to welcome a dinosaur into the tribe.

Escape from Mr Lemoncello’s Library


Kyle Keeley is the class clown, popular with most kids, (if not the teachers), and an ardent fan of all games: board games, word games, and particularly video games. His hero, Luigi Lemoncello, the most notorious and creative gamemaker in the world, just so happens to be the genius behind the building of the new town library.

Welcome to our Library. We look forward to seeing you and meeting all our new students!

Class timetabled visits begin this week. 




This is not a guidebook. And it is definitely 'not-for-parents'. It is the real, inside story about one of the world’s most famous cities – Rome.
·         If you were a cat why would you want to 
live in Rome?
·         Would you want to go to the bathroom with dozens of other people?
·         Can you imagine eating a flamingo’s tongue 
for lunch?
·         Why do they fire a cannon every day in Rome?
This book shows you a Paris your parents probably don’t even know about.
