I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books. This prompted me to unearth some plays I’d written for a school reading group, and since then I’ve had 20 plays published. A funny and frock-filled story for modern children who don't just want sequins and sparkles on their dresses, from rising star Lily Murray and Waterstones Prize-winning illustrator, Jenny Lovlie.

The girl is not afraid of the baddies, as gender stereotypes might predict, instead she's accepting of their presence and either ignores their aggression or tries to help and care for them. A ghost, a troll, and a witch are sure they're the meanest around and take great delight in being THE BADDIES. This clever and funny inversion on a classic fairytale from award-winning author Bethan Stevens tells the laugh-out-loud story of a damsel who does not need saving! Bud pointed out the different villains and appeared to enjoy the scandal of it all, but it doesn’t compare to some of the more classic Gruffalo/ Stickman esq characters.With read-aloud rhyming text, this title is perfect to further help develop reading ability and stunning pictures, with lots of details to spot, encourages engagement. But long before he began his professional life, he had won his first drawing prize for an international chocolate company – his prize was a cuddly lilac cow. This fantastic activity book is based on the brilliant new picture book The Baddies, by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. A lighthearted story with a subtle feminist undertone that celebrates the joy of pockets, and how they can unleash the inquisitive, adventurous spirit of all young children. We work separately – he’s in London and I’m in Glasgow – but he sends me letters with lovely funny pictures on the envelopes.

When a scary, fire-breathing dragon comes to visit, it's up to the damsel to take charge of her story and save the day for everyone. Julia and Axel are the team that have created picture book favourites such as The Gruffalo, Stick Man, Zog and Highway Rat – all of which have been made into animated films premiering on BBC1 Christmas Day. There are fancy dresses, frilly dresses, stripy dresses, silly dresses, sun dresses, fun dresses, blue dresses, green.

Supert for dem som kanskje er litt redde for skikkelsene i eventyrene, for her blir de ganske ufarliggjort! We work separately - he’s in London and I’m in Glasgow - but he sends me letters with lovely funny pictures on the envelopes. I was very interested to see a ghost on the cover and throughout who bares resemblance with Marley’s Ghost from Dickens’ famous tale - I think it’s amazing that when the young children come across A Christmas Carol (which the majority in England will due to the GCSE spec) they might recognise the ghost after having The Baddies as a staple household item.
