Every night, Stanley the zookeeper says goodnight to all of the animals and tucks them up in bed. But one night, he can't find Fred... where could he be? Children will love spotting Fred the panda as he hides at the market, in the park, at the funfair and, finally, at a riotous black-and-white 'Panda-monium' ball.

Princess Daisy and the Dragon and the Nincompoop Knights

Steven Lenton

A hilarious rhyming story for princesses who are definitely NOT princessy.'The trouble with most fairy tales is that they sound the same.There's usually a problem and a dragon who's to blame.And sometimes there's a tower with a princess stuck inside,a kingly dad and lots of knights who often want a bride.But though this is a fairy tale with all the usual team,If you read on you'll find that things aren't always what they seem...'When a truly terrifying sound wakes everyone up, clever Princess Daisy soon figures out the problem, but her father, the King, just won't listen how can a princess defeat a dragon? Then when the knights who come to the rescue prove to be a big bunch of nincompoop scaredy-cats, things start to look rather bad. Until . . . hang on . . . who's that mystery knight in the dragon's den? Why, it's Plucky Princess Daisy . . . OF COURSE!A feminist bedtime picture book that's just perfect for princesses and princes who don't need rescuing.Steven Lenton is the illustrator of the hugely successful Shifty McGifty series by Tracey Corderoy, and also illustrates books by David Baddiel, Frank Cottrell-Boyce and Peter Bently.

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.
