The Twins

The Twins

John Wallace

Lil and Nelly are twins but they are twins with a difference – many differences, in fact! Lil is neat and tidy; Nelly is very messy. Lil likes pink things and sensible shoes; Nelly likes oil and fast food. The twins are always fighting, but when they win joint first prize for the best project in the class, they realise that together they make the perfect team.

Little Nelly's Big Book

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.

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.
