Found in only one place on Earth - the Southern Alps in south-east Australia - the mountain pygmy-possum is a very special little creature with a very big story to tell. Each year an amazing narrative plays out that has to be read to be believed.

High in the mountains, a little pygmy-possum must feast on enough bogong moths to survive the perilous winter when it will hide away under the snow in a nest made of moss, grass and leaves where it will rest, sleep and breed. If it can survive the harsh winter and avoid feral cats and foxes then it may just live to see another year. But will the moths make it back, with light pollution an increasing distraction, nothing is certain…

This is the third adventure with the Christmasaurus and settling down with my favourite festive dinosaur is rapidly becoming one of my favourite Christmas traditions. It is at the stage where Christmas doesn’t really feel like Christmas without an adventure with the Christmasaurus and this is possibly my favourite story yet.

The first of December and Christmas is fast approaching. At Christmas HQ - a snow ranch in the North Pole - Santa is busily going about his important duties and is carrying out a check of two very important lists…Naughty and Nice. And that’s when he spotted a very big problem.

What would you do if you found a little polar bear in the garden? Perhaps ask a couple of questions, ‘Are you lost?’ or ‘Can I help you?’. 

To begin with, the new arrival - with its ‘cloud-white fur’ and ‘black paws’ - that the young boy discovers in his garden is the perfect pocket-sized houseguest and makes for a wonderful playmate. But very quickly the bear outgrows palms, pockets and hats. It is time to take him home, to raise the anchor and to set sail across huge oceans, under vast skies. A long journey awaits and at the end it will be time to say goodbye and head back home…

Badger is all for the trip away with hopes of finding the missing piece for his A-Z rock wall; an agate is needed to replace the one that his mean cousin Fisher stole several years earlier.

Everything Under the Sun began as a podcast; children would send in their questions and each week, Molly Oldfield, with the help of experts, would choose a few of them to answer. That podcast has now evolved into this epic collection of questions and answers about anything and everything.

Children love to ask questions about the world; who, why, what, where, when, how, can and so on. Having spent many years in a primary school classroom, I am no stranger to having my knowledge tested by curious children and have often used the phrase, ‘that would be really interesting to find out.’ Now I have the most awesome of non-fiction books to hand that will more than satisfy the appetite of curious young minds.

Lost toys are part of childhood but how far would you go for the lost thing that meant the most to you? Whilst most children are settling into bed on Christmas Eve with hopes and dreams of the toys that Santa will leave, one boy is wide awake and is heading off to find the one that means more than anything in the world to him.

When the unthinkable happens on Christmas Eve and DP is lost, possibly forever, Jack’s world is torn apart. But Christmas is the time for miracles and strange things are happening in Jack’s bedroom… toys and objects are coming alive and one in particular is here to help.
