Huey has a bright idea!
Huey wants to surprise his mum on Mother's Day, so he invents banana spaghetti. It takes a bit of help from Dad to get it right, but Huey is determined to show everyone that he is just as clever as his big brother, Julian.
And when Huey beats his fear of the dark, he proves he is just as brave too.
A beautifully illustrated story celebrating the poppy's history.
Michael Morpurgo and Michael Foreman have teamed
up with the Royal British Legion to tell an original story
that explains the meaning behind the poppy.
In Flanders' fields, young Martens knows his family's story, for
it is as precious as the faded poem hanging in their home. From
a poor girl comforting a grieving soldier, to an unexpected meeting
of strangers, to a father's tragic death many decades after
treaties were signed, war has shaped Martens's family in profound
ways - it is their history as much as any nation's.
They remember.
They grieve.
They honour the past.
This book also includes a full-colour, illustrated afterword
that explains the history that inspired the story.

'Her books were terrific page-turners in the way no others were' Michael Morpurgo, author of War Horse.
Enid Blyton is arguably the most famous children’s author of all time, thanks to series such as The Magic Faraway Tree, The Famous Five, The Wishing-Chair and The Secret Seven. Her fantasy books, like the story of the mischievous rag doll Amelia Jane, are among her most popular creations and they promise to enchant boys and girls for generations to come.
Enid Blyton takes her place alongside Roald Dahl, Beatrix Potter, and A. A. Milne as one of Britain’s true heritage children’s authors. She remains one of the world's best-loved storytellers and is consistently voted a children's favourite in reader polls.
A comforting, reassuring and sensitive portrayal of divorce.
In this award-winning picture book classic about divorce, Alex has two homes – a home where Daddy lives and a home where Mummy lives. Alex has two front doors, two bedrooms and two very different favourite chairs. He has a toothbrush at Mummy's and a toothbrush at Daddy's. But whether Alex is with Mummy or Daddy, one thing stays the same: Alex is loved by them both – always. This gently reassuring story focuses on what is gained rather than what is lost when parents divorce, while the sensitive illustrations, depicting two unique homes in all their small details, firmly establish Alex’s place in both of them. Two Homes will help children – and parents – embrace even the most difficult of changes with an open and optimistic heart.
