A delightfully funny story with a folk-tale flavour, with illustrations by internationally acclaimed illustrator Axel Scheffler. 
Keep your eyes open, smile nicely and never disagree with anybody,” Jack’s mother advises. And it proves good advice, too, through the amazing adventures that follow – as Jack becomes a star pupil, goes out to work, attends his own funeral…and finds himself suitor to a princess! Idle he may be, but Jack’s no fool.  Paperback, 74 pages, 12.9cm x 19.8cm

Ghost dogs and skeletons in a tall tale with a tender heart from the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of My Friend Rabbit. Gus doesn’t feel like doing much after his dog Ella dies. He doesn’t really even feel like dressing up for Halloween. But when Gus runs into a bunch of rowdy skeletons, it’s Ella–his very own Bone dog–who comes to his aid, and together they put those skeletons in their place. A book about friendship, loss, and a delightfully spooky Halloween.
