Vendor: Cicada
Type: Books
Price: 12.99

If Creature is not a potato, what could they possibly be??

‘I am a potato’, says Creature. ‘No, you‘re not,’ says Dog. ‘Do you grow underground? Do you have lots of eyes? No? Then you’re not a potato.’ ‘Then WHAT AM I?’ wails Creature. Cat comes along. ‘Do you breathe air? Do you eat and poo? Do you move around? You are an animal!’ But what kind of animal are they? As their identity crisis continues, more animals join the conversation, asking questions and narrowing down the possiblities until they eventually work out the answer.

This is a silly, delightful picture book that nonetheless teaches an important lesson about using the scientific method to draw conclusions by observing, asking questions and eliminating possibilities. Vividly brought to life in Elliot Kruszynski’s punchy, graphic illustrations, taxonomy has never been this fun.

This is a stunning, heartfelt collection of short stories told as letters from a parent to a child, encompassing the life lessons they want them to take out into the world.

In Stones, a little bear builds a tower, only to see it come crashing down, but that's okay - it's the chance to start again and dream a new dream. In Sparks, they realise that they don't have to be good at everything all at once - they just have to begin. In Stars, they discover that hope is always there if they're brave enough to look for it.

Beautifully and thoughtfully illustrated, this is a book of wisdom for someone to carry close to their heart, wherever life's journey might take them.

It's a wonderful gift for someone you love, whether that's a child celebrating their graduation or a friend going through a difficult time. The stories cover these themes: love, trying again when at first you don't succeed, having the courage to begin, slowing down and appreciating quieter moments, opening your heart to new experiences, choosing friends that let you be you, knowing that hope can always be found and discovering magic in everyday life.

Vendor: Frances Lincoln
Type: Books
Price: 9.99

This little biography tells the inspiring story of Vincent van Gogh, one of the world's most influential and best-loved artists.

Little Vincent was a quiet child. He 
loved spending time in nature and playing with his brother Theo. After leaving school, he began working as an art dealer. Vincent showed promise, but he found it more and more difficult to control his emotions and eventually had to leave. He had a go at many different jobs, including a teacher and a bookseller, but nothing felt right.

When he wasn’t working, he wrote Theo long letters that included beautiful drawings. Theo loved his work and 
suggested that he try being an artist. Vincent dedicated himself to painting and never looked back! He developed his own style and expressed his emotions through his art: from sorrow to joy, and everything in between.

During his life, Vincent had little success, but today, his paintings are 
admired and celebrated in galleries across the world.

Vendor: Magic Cat
Type: Books
Price: 7.99

This funny, rhyming cat-and-mouse tale has an innovative twist that children will love - it never ends!

One day, a monkey is happily eating a banana when he sees a tiger. Off he runs through the forest, dodging perils until he reaches safety at the end of the book by running up a tree. That's when the fun really starts... as readers can then turn the book upside down and watch Monkey swinging through the trees back through the book, chasing a lizard (and narrowly avoiding a hungry snake), before going back down a tree on page 1 to take us back to the beginning again.

We love the neverending 'two stories in one book' concept, plus Rob Hodgson's bright colourful illustrations and funny animal characters.

The great rhyming text make this a perfect bedtime read for children aged 3+.
