"Ferdinand Fox curled up in the sun, as the church of St Mary struck quarter past one. His tummy was full, he was ready for sleep, and closing his eyes he began to count sheep."

A delightful rhyming story children's colouring book about Ferdinand, a kindhearted urban fox. Ferdinand falls asleep in Peter Maceever's back garden one afternoon. As he sleeps, we learn through his illustrated dream bubbles about all of his favourite food - such as sausages, chocolate, cakes and ice cream!

Perfect for parents to read aloud to children aged 2-5 years who will love the rhyming story and bold black and white line drawings - or for children age 6+ to read alone. Also a great children's activity book - they will love colouring in the beautiful illustrations.

Complements the full colour picture book edition of Ferdinand Fox's Big Sleep - why not get both so that your child can copy the colours?!

A boy, a magic book and a bossy boa constrictor - oh, and a VERY smelly gorilla with a zoo escape plan! A fun and fast-paced illustrated chapter book for ages 6-8.

When Henry Haynes complains that his new book is boring he gets more than he bargained for. Before he knows it, he's been sucked down into the story and finds himself eyeball to eyeball with Brian, a bossy boa constrictor who's in charge of a zoo escape.

Brian won't let Henry return home until he's released the animals, including some hungry lions and Gordon - the extremely smelly gorilla who masterminded the escape plan. To make matters worse, it looks as if Gordon's out to get Henry...

Can Henry get home alive? And why didn't he just keep his big mouth shut about boring stories?

Includes the first two chapters of Eeek! The Runaway Alien for free!

'Ferdinand Fox trotted down past the park, where the seesaws and swings stood still in the dark. His magnificent tail sailed along in the light of the streetlamp above, which lit up the night.'

'That very same night, seeking bugs with her snout, Hatty the hedgehog was out and about. As soon as she smelled the scent of a fox, she scampered to hide in an old soggy box...'

When Ferdinand Fox meets Edmond the baby hedgehog playing out alone one night, little Ed shrieks and curls into a tight prickly ball. He thinks the fox will eat him! But Ed soon realises that he is safe, and has just met a very special fox. Also introducing Hatty, Ed's mum...

Perfect to share with toddlers and pre-school children ages 3-5. Older siblings and grown-ups will also love the rhyme!

Includes eight pages of fun photos and facts about foxes and hedgehogs, to share with children at home or in the classroom.
