When new neighbours move in next door, Eddie is disappointed that there is a new friend for his sister but not for him. But then Tom needs help putting up shelves in the kitchen and asks Eddie to help him as his little girl and Eddie's sister explore the garden together. Soon Eddie is learning to use a saw and hammer and is screwing in hooks to hang cups. Eddie's sister hates bathtime, so Eddie uses some leftover wood to make her a boat to play with in the bath. Next day, as the two families share a picnic lunch in the garden, a cat attacks a sparrow trying to eat the crumbs from the table. So Eddie and Tom decide to build a bird table for the sparrows to eat in safety. Soon Eddie is making and mending all sorts of things around the house. This delightful story about two families becoming friends as seen through Eddie's eyes also includes practical instructions to make some of the things Eddie learns to make. A delightful companion to Eddie's Kitchen and Eddie's Garden, this book will appeal to all children fascinated by tools and making things, and to fans of 'Bob the Builder'.

It is Grandad's birthday, and Eddie is helping his mother plan and prepare a birthday party for him — with Lily's help, of course! Using baked apples from their apple tree and eggs from their chickens, they soon fill the table with delicious birthday treats. But what did Lily do with all the carrots? Eddie’s Kitchen and How To Make Good Things to Eat capitalizes on young children’s interest in how food is cooked. The book includes fabulous watercolor illustrations and recipes for making delicious and nutritious treats for all budding chefs.
