When two little girls visit their grandparents, it seems like a brilliant idea to camp outside for the night. But then the dark comes and it doesn't seem such a good idea after all! Until a most unexpected visitor arrives - the King of Tiny Things. He is the shepherd of creepy crawlies, bugs and grubs and shows the girls that, in fact, the night is bright with magic.

Golosina y Perrozoso eran muy flojos. Com an y com an y com an. Y dorm an y dorm an y dorm an. Pero un buen d a, cuando despertaron de una siesta, estaban muy inc modos. El sof hab a encogido Los almohadones hab an crecido O al menos eso quisieron suponer. Flabby Cat and Slobby Dog were very weak. They ate and ate and ate. And slept and slept and slept. But one fine day, they woke up from a nap feeling very uncomfortable. The couch had shrunk The cushions had grown Or at least that's what they'd like to think.

The Bog Baby is a magical story by Jeanne Willis and Gwen MillwardWhen two small sisters go fishing to the magic pond, they find something much better than a frog or a newt. They find a bog baby. Small and blue with wings like a dragon, the girls decide to make him their secret. I won't tell if you won't. But the bog baby is a wild thing, and when he becomes poorly, the girls decide they must tell their mum. And she tells them the greatest lesson: if you really love something, you have to let it go.

Her teen novel, Naked Without a Hat, was shortlisted for the Whitbread Award in 2004. She often takes inspiration from dreams and interesting conversations with strangers.

'Who's in the loo? There's a very long queue. Is it an elephant having a poo?' If your house has many occupants, then this witty rhyme from the irreverent and observant pen of Jeanne Willis will resonate profoundly. Adrian Reynolds's exuberant illustrations highlight the fun!

Honor Brown cannot find a good word to say about her school despite much prompting. She insists that her teacher is a warty toad, the water tray has killer sharks in it, and even her friends are loathsome. But when the time comes to move on to 'Big School', she sits in the corner and sobs! Maybe it wasn't so bad after all!

A little girl wants to visit her father AND she wants to learn to ride her bicycle, and it seems to her that that is the perfect reason to persuade him to help her learn!
