Small children (and lots of adults!) love pants. They love talking about pants. They giggle whenever pants are mentioned. Let's face it - Pants are very funny! "Pants" is a picture book with a brilliant rhyming text by Giles Andreae and lots of hilarious pictures by Nick Sharratt. As we go through the book, we meet lots of different animals, people and sometimes inanimate objects each wearing a different kind of pants - every shape, pattern, colour, size and style that you can think of - and lots more besides! This book will make children laugh and they will ask for it again and again. Pants - which ones are your favourite?

When Flinn first met the Pirate Dinosaurs, he thought that he had taught them a lesson. But the real lesson is this - never EVER trust a pirate dinosaur. This time, Flinn is hot on the trail of some stolen treasure, and he knows exactly who to blame. With the help of his friends, he tracks the rotten crew to the Lost Island. But Flinn and his pals hadn't reckoned on the pirates' secret weapon - the Giganotosaurus! Will our hero be able to sail out of trouble this time?

It is wartime. As the bombs are falling, Carrie and her little brother Nick are evacuated to Wales where they are billeted to the home of the bullying Mr Evans and his timid sister Lou. At first they are terribly unhappy. But when they go to visit their friend Albert at Druid's Bottom, they discover great warmth and happiness. For in that wonderful house lives Hepzibah Green, who knows magical stories, and the strange Mister Johnny who speaks a language all his own. Then things go wrong and Carrie takes matters into her own hands - without guessing the awful consequences ...

Captain Flinn and his friends are sailing off on an action-packed pirate adventure and they want YOU to come on board! Join the crew for hours of seafaring fun, full of piratical puzzles, games, colouring, dot-to-dots and creative things to make, including a pirate hat and telescope! Then create your very own pirate ship scene with a super set of swashbuckling stickers.

This is Giles Andreae and Russell Ayto's super-fun "Captain Flinn and the Pirate Dinosaurs". Flinn is at school looking in the art cupboard for some coloured pens to finish off his dinosaur drawing when he stumbles upon Captain Stubble, a real live Pirate Captain! He tells Flinn that his ship, the Acorn, has been stolen and that he needs Flinn to help him rescue it back. Stubble makes Flinn the captain and they sail away on an old pirate ship ...they finally find the Acorn but, to their horror, realise it's been stolen by Pirate Dinosaurs! Captain Flinn and his crew attack the dinosaurs and, after much fighting, seize control of the ship once more. Flinn and his friends then sail back to the harbour clambering through the boatshed door and back into the art cupboard without the teacher even noticing they've been gone!
