Edgar Allan Poe was a master of the tale of psychological horror. This anthology gathers over 20 of Poes groundbreaking tales of the macabre, among them The Tell-tale Heart, The Masque of the Red Death and The Fall of the House of Usher. It also includes his trilogy of stories featuring detective C. Auguste Dupin: The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Rôget and The Purloined Letter.

This title is suitable for children aged 4 to 8 years old. Calvin is one unusual starling! While his siblings and cousins learn to fly, this rare bird lets his imagination soar while reading about pirates, dinosaurs and other fascinating things. The other birds call him "geeky beaky," but Calvin just ruffles his feathers and buries his beak in a book. Yet, when it comes time to migrate, poor Calvin suddenly realises he can't fly! His sisters, brothers and cousins carry him into the air. On their way south, the winds blow hard, the trees bend and the air starts to smell strange. It's a hurricane and only Calvin can save the day, because he has read about it! Witty illustrations, an endearing hero and a delightful story make this a true celebration of the pleasures of reading.

This hilarious look at idiomatic expressions will be loved by both children and adults. It is suitable for children age 4 years and upwards. Serge Bloch whips up a scrumptious new concoction for his fans to savour! In this deliciously clever follow-up to "Butterflies in My Stomach and Reach for the Stars" (9781402771293), our young hero and his loyal dog, Roger, tackle another major aspect of life: eating. Mealtime should be a piece of cake, but this finicky eater eats like a bird. That drives his mum bananas because he really should have three square meals a day. What will happen when he dines at the home of a friend whose mum is a real health nut? Maybe he'll discover that variety is the spice of life! Children might find these sayings puzzling at first, but Bloch's witty and wonderful images, which mix whimsical line drawings with photographs of inanimate objects, make everything clear and will leave readers of all ages pleased as punch.
