Little Nelly's Big Book

Pippa Goodhart

When Nelly reads a description of mice in a book, she is convinced that she is a mouse. After all, she is gray, has big ears, and a thin tail. But then she meets some other mice, and her confusion only grows. Why are they smaller than she is? And why can't she do the same things the other mice do? Only a trip to the zoo will set this mixed up animal tale straight ... or will it? This delightfully funny story about mistaken identities is sure to get giggles from young listeners.

Toffee and Pie

Pippa Goodhart

John and his horse each make a new friend when they travel to a new place.John and his family are always on the move: they live in a trailer that is drawn by their cob, Pie, and they never stay in one place for very long. When they arrive at the next new town, John isn’t looking forward to starting another new school. But there he meets a boy called Tom – who loves horses as much as he does! John can draw fantastic horses and Tom thinks he’s great, and suddenly it doesn’t matter so much that John can’t read or write very well. When the two friends meet up after school to ride their horses together – John on Pie and Tom on Toffee – John wishes he could stay here for ever. But soon it’s time to move on again … maybe they will be back next year.

Sam and Soraya

Built by Sam & Soraya

In 2022 we welcomed our little twins into the world. Since then we have been building up our home library full of baby books to try and give our boys the best start.

While books with characters called Sam are found in bookstores and charity shops throughout the land, we struggled to find any books with Soraya, Jasper, or Xander.

This gave Soraya the idea to compile a list of books for new parents and then Sam decided to turn it in to a website.
