A gorgeous glittery book with a charming tale about bravery and conquering ones fears

When a King bans the dark completely, installing an artificial sun, and enforcing “anti-dark” laws, it seems like a good idea. The citizens don't need to worry about monsters, crime, or any of the other scary things that might live in the dark. But what happens when nobody can sleep? Will the citizens revolt?

From the brilliant illustrator, Simon Tyler, comes a wonderful compendium of space, space travel and much more.

One day our sun will grow…and grow…and grow…until it ends its life as a red giant 400x its current size. Wonder at facts like these, and much more, in the new illustrated guide to Space. Space is fascinating, and in this book Simon Tyler gorgeously illustrates the planets, meteors, rockets and galaxies – even strange phenomena like the speed of light and solar flares!

From renowned children's author Polly Faber and Stardust illustrator Briony May Smith comes an exciting and gorgeous new picture book that features a Peter Rabbit for the 21st century…

Hodge, an adorable bunny, is minding his own business… well, he's stealing some carrots from Mrs Sprat's garden, actually… when he ends up stuck in the hedge. Mrs Sprat advances, wanting to get rid of the pesky bunny, and a buzzard overheard spies a tasty rabbit dinner, too. Can Hodge escape from bird of prey and angry gardener in time to take the carrots home?

The lyrical story, by Polly Faber, is perfect for reading aloud and packed with page-turning suspense. Illustrated by Briony May Smith, each page is full of detailed visual delights.

A beautiful tale about kindness and forgiveness, packed with adventure and peril.

From the illustrator and author of Mr Men comes the third Molly Mischief book.
