#WhatTheGruffalosReading : the G-Man is enjoying A Home For Spark the Dragon, by acclaimed and much-loved Welsh actor, Michael Sheen, Jess Webb, & illustrated by Sarah Massini, which raises funds for homelessness charity Shelter.
Signed copies available (while they last). And yes, of course we read it, and we thought it was rather lovely.
We are absolutely loving Jess Hannigan's The Bear Out There from HaperCollins - a fabulous tale with a twist, delightful artwork & we're adoring the art beneath the dust jacket, and the endpapers too (great attention to detail)! Made us smile.
#WhatTheGruffalosReading : today the G-Man is enjoying Wanda the Warthog Who Worried, by Frances Stickley & Chris Chatterton, a lovely, rhyming tale about being happy in yourself. Out now from Simin & Schuster.

Oh, Carrots! Mariajo Ilustrajo's delightful picture book is Bunny Approved!
having flashes to this book today -- very mundane frustrations & annoyances throughout my day. If only moving to Australia would solve the problems
I love these fantastic illustrations by John Joven for a new edition of Jack and the Beanstalk from Usborne Books.
Beautiful art as always from Danny Deeptown, plus the fun addition of pages to colour in throughout the second half of the book. The Lion and the Mouse retold by Ajay Kumar, published by Marshall Cavendish.
#WhatTheGruffalosReading : today the G-Man is delighting in the fabulous rhyming of The Football Fairy, by Ellie Wollard & Irina Avgustinovich, from Magic Cat Publishing.
This one made us smile, we ended up reading it to each other - pretty sure we'll use that one at a future Under Five's Storytime.
