Pass the Parcel: A Present to Unwrap? Look Under the Flap!

It’s Princess Patricia’s birthday, and her fairy godmother has conjured up a parcel so that she can play her favorite party game. But where are the guests? Lift the first parcel flap, and there they are—Little Red Riding Hood, Giant Rumblebunn, Puss in Boots, and Goldilocks! There's just one problem: as each flap is lifted and a new layer of the parcel is removed, it soon becomes clear that the players are opening one another's gifts! And—even worse—the Princess hasn't had a present at all! But there’s still one tiny parcel left. Ros Asquith is a highly successful author, whose books include DK Toddlers: My Do It!, Ball!, Babies, and Mrs. Pig’s Night Out. Illustrator Katharine McEwen is well-known for children’s favorites like Here Comes Tabby Cat, Cows in the Kitchen, and The Man Who Wore All His Clothes.

Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths

"On a tall, tall cliff there are two little houses where Busby and Puffle live. From the edge, they can look downdowndownto the deep, dark rocks below." The two friends would do anything for each other. But why does Busby need to borrow the entire contents of Puffle’s houseeven the walls and roof? It seems a lot to askbut it would really help! Perfect for one-on-one sharing or groups, this is a heartwarming tale with a clear message about friendship and generosity. Andrew Murray is the author of Have You Seen Chester? and A Very Sleepy Sloth. Alan Snow is the creator of How Santa Really Works and How Dogs Really Work.

The Other Goose

Katerina is the only goose on her pond, and she’s very lonely. Sometimes she thinks she can see another goose in the side of Mr. Buswell’s shiny car.

One dark Christmas night, when everyone is at a party in the square, Katerina goes to see the goose in the shiny car. But the goose is gone—has he come out at last? And who is that man with the goose-sized bag coming out of the bank? Is he carrying a goose-sized companion for Katerina? When Katerina chases him down to find out, she becomes the local heroine and gets a wonderful reward—life on her pond will never be the same again.
