The Dragon Slayer
Girl meets dragon (with marshmallows?) in this funny, modern fairy tale from Tatyana Feeney. Freya lives in a castle where she has everything a girl could want – loving parents, loads of books AND marshmallows. But what she really wants is a dragon … to slay. Freya doesn’t understand why it’s always knights who get to be brave, bold dragon slayers, so one morning she decides to go and slay one for herself. However, trouble ensues when a dragon, tired of a steady diet of too-crunchy knights, happens to be looking for a sweet and tender girl to eat… Kids will be cheering Freya on as she defies expectations and follows her own path!

Small Bunny's Blue Blanket
Exciting new author Tatyana Feeney has created something very special. In just a very few words and with the simplest of illustrations, she speaks to toddlers everywhere who are inseparable from a special toy or object. Small Bunny loves Blue Blanket. Everything he does, he does with Blue Blanket. It's with him when he's on the swings, in the sandpit, when he's painting, and when he's reading. But Mummy has plans for Blue Blanket. It needs a wash! Poor Small Bunny is forced to endure a heart-rending episode watching his blanket go round and round in the washing machine. Later, when a clean and unfamiliar blanket is brought down from the washing line and put into Small Bunny's little paws, he is not happy. How will he restore Blue Blanket to just the way it was before? This time it's Small Bunny who has plans!
Small Elephant's Bathtime
Small Elephant loves water. Except, that is, when the water is in a bath. Mummy uses various incentives to entice him into a bath, but nothing works and Small Elephant goes into toddler meltdown before 'hiding' behind the curtain. Luckily, Mummy has one more strategy up her sleeve to get him over his sulk and into the suds. It's to use diversion tactics and laughter - and it's all down to the comedy value of Daddy in some rather fetching trunks! Told with Tatyana Feeney's trademark understated wit and highly individual artwork style, this story captures perfectly the trigger, experience, and dispersal of a toddler tantrum, with humour and a lightness of touch. Perfect for sharing with Dads!

I Don't Want to Be a Pea!
Hugo is in no doubt as to what he and Bella should go as to the Hippo-Bird Fancy Dress Party. They will go as the princess and the pea and he will be the princess (of course!) leaving poor Bella to be the pea. Indignant, Bella refuses. She has a better suggestion - they will go as a mermaid on a rock and she will be the mermaid (of course!) leaving a huffy Hugo to be the rock. Hugo is not happy. But neither is Bella. They just can't decide on a costume and things reach a crisis when they both flounce off saying they don't want to go to the party at all. After time to consider, both Hugo and Bella calm down and (privately) both choose to dress as a pea as a gesture of making it all up to each other. So when they both arrive at the party as peas, Hugo and Bella announce proudly that they are 'two peas in a pod, just as it should be' underlining the message of the book that friendship is all about give and take. With wonderfully absurd illustrations from new talent Simon Rickerty and a great read-along
