Play hide-and-seek with Lucy Cousins’s Little Fish as the effervescent little guy finds clever cover beneath the flaps.Is that Little Fish hiding behind the yellow coral? No, it’s stripy fish! How about inside the shell? That’s shelly fish, of course! Open up the treasure chest (hi, crab!) and peek behind the red coral (so that’s where curly whirly and twisty twirly went off to!). Children will leave no oyster shell uncracked and no clump of seaweed unexplored in their search for this bright and sprightly new friend from the creator of Maisy.

Five in the tent! A camping trip with Maisy turns into a slapstick comedy of errors in this hilarious picture-book adventure.When Maisy sets off to go camping in the country, it’s only natural that all her friends come along, too.

Even if they do manage to keep the tent up, there’s the matter of fitting them all in — Maisy, Charley, Cyril, Tallulah, and finally, the huge elephant, Eddie. What a squeezy squish-squash! Good night, campers! Uh-oh-what’s that popping sound?

Whether driving over land or sailing across the sea, Maisy takes her friends all over the place in two shaped board books.It’s a beautiful, sunny day, and Maisy knows just how to spend it — at the beach with her friends!
