When you make learning fun, you make learning easier than it would be otherwise. This is good news! The easier it is for your child to pick up the concepts he or she needs to pick up in preparation for school, the more quickly you can go on to complex topics – or take an afternoon off to hang out and have fun together! From the lion to the elephant to the hippopotamus, the animals in this story are full of life and character, and your child will take to them immediately. They are eager to start playing, eager to get out onto the field and see just who the best animal is, but what they find is that each animal is the best in their own way. The elephant belongs in the goal, of course, and the giraffe can whack the ball, so long as it can reach down far enough! This book tells a story about a football team comprised of animals, each animal playing a specific role on the team. As you follow along, you will see that each animal connects to a number, making this book an engaging and original method for teaching counting. Learn to count – while you and your new animal friends enjoy a football match!

Sky Rats is the story of three rat adventurers who try to find treasure and avoid trouble (and learn a few lessons along the way).

Join Strock, Mason, and Prudence as they trek to Skull Island Cave in search of a fortune in gold guarded by a frightening Cave Snake! Fully Illustrated by artist Michael Broom, this tale is sure to be a hit with your own young aspiring adventurer.

Meet THE SPACEMUTTS in this fantastically funny new series! Did you know that there are Aliens living among us? You might have seen them around - they've got fur, whiskers, and a fondess for mice . . . That's right, cats: a whole army of mean old moggies hell-bent on world domination. But don't worry, Earth's not going to give up without a fight. This little blue planet happens to have the best interplanetary canine defense force in the universe! The Spacemutts have a reluctant new recruit - Duke, a shy Great Dane. Eager to overpower the evil Lady Fluffkins, the gang fall into a trap, crash-landing right in the path of her equally evil sister. With their spaceship taken over by an army of ninja kittens, only a dog as huge as Duke can save the day!

Oscar the sausage dog is the yappiest dog in the universe, and none of the visitors to the Pooch Pound want to take him home. When the Spacemutts are called to rescue a ship full of rebel chihuahuas, they agree to take Oscar with them as long as he keeps quiet. But all is not as it seems, and in the battle against the evil Lady Fluffkins and her silent-but-deadly Siamese samurai, only a dog as loud as Oscar can save the day!
