When something goes missing, a search is soon underway, with the help of a puppy, a cat and a wise little mouse. The mouse knows the missing thing couldn’t have been moved by any of them, so it must have been hidden by a strange creature called a fuzzy faced flim flum, which lives in our homes, getting up to mischief and causing chaos when our backs are turned.     This light-hearted tale, written in an easy, rhyming style, encourages readers to have confidence when things aren’t going their way. It is a book which may be helpful for readers who are finding it difficult to cope with change or disruption to routine, because “Sometimes life is confusing, sometimes words don’t rhyme. But there’s no sense in a world that makes sense all the time.”    As the characters help each other hunt for the missing item, their adventure takes readers on a journey where they learn that sometimes we lose things that matter, but also that “when life sends us searching, for the things we don’t know, the questions we ask are what make us grow.”     Hannah’s full colour illustrations add rich layers of visual fun and detail, to this amusing account of the mess and chaos of daily life. This is a book which will be sure to entertain children and adults alike.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51519178572049,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51519178637585,"sku":"NGR9781839527715","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1839527714.jpg?v=1750833199"},{"product_id":"owl-and-the-cactus-book-hannah-dawn-gold-9781839527258","title":"The Owl and the Cactus","description":"The Owl and the Cactus by Hannah Dawn Gold is an illustrated tale of exploration and friendship for children who are setting out on their own adventures in life. This light-hearted story follows the adventures of a very small owl, as he takes his first tentative flight in his desert home, encounters challenges and eventually finds his way home. In a big world, sometimes things can go wrong for even the bravest explorer. When Owl finds himself in need of help, he discovers that everyone is important, including people who are quiet, shy and could be easy to pass by, because ‘Even the smallest people can know important things!’    Sometimes when we’re whizzing around in excitement, chasing the next achievement, we can overlook what’s around us. In a busy world, even young children can sometimes feel pressure. The Owl and the Cactus gently guides readers to understand that it is good to try new things, getting caught up in the thrill of success and it is also fine to stop, take a breath when we need to and ask for help. The wish to explore and grow is encouraged and supported in this book, balanced with the lesson that sometimes growing up can be challenging and the world can be a scary place when things aren’t going our way, but when we are willing to listen, even to those who seem different to us then friendship can be found at any moment, even when we think we are alone.    The young owl’s first flight introduces the natural world to children as a home to be appreciated, not just rushed past. As the youngster finds his confidence, he discovers that nature can show us valuable things. Hannah writes, ‘I will tell you a secret about all living things, it may help you to know, when finding your wings!    The wind, the moon, the stars and stones, all are telling the story of our wild desert home.    All of them have something to say, if you ask them and listen, they will show you the way.’    While Owl finds out about looking at the sky, his discoveries open the idea that the stars can show us where we are going. Something children can use to begin a learning journey of their own if they wish, or just smile at the safe return of the owl to his home.     As a visually pleasing story about a lovable character, The Owl and the Cactus will have broad appeal to children of differing reading capabilities. Children starting on their reading journeys are sure to find the imagery and fun factor pleasing and can use this book to develop their reading skills. More capable readers can enjoy the layers of meaning that provide on-going learning opportunities. The writing style offers both ease of reading, with rhymes and short sentences, together with some more challenging words and concepts to keep minds occupied and hold interest into the future. This is a book that you can enjoy with your little ones, which will help them grow, while chuckling together about the antics of the very small owl. It will be a favourite on the bookshelf for years to come!     Hannah’s illustrations provide a rich visual backdrop depicting the young explorer and the range of creatures he encounters on his travels. The Owl and the Cactus is an ideal story to inspire the confidence of young readers in making friends and finding their own wings. With varied additional activities to stimulate interest, there is plenty here to occupy young minds. The full colour pictures and fun, rhyming style make this book suitable for a wide range of children with different reading levels as it provides both visual and auditory enjoyment, different types of learning opportunities and a positive approach to overcoming difficulties.    After all, ‘You’re never too small to know how to fly!’","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51546440401169,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51546440466705,"sku":"NGR9781839527258","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52834958803217,"sku":"GOR014634459","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1839527250.jpg?v=1751432140"},{"product_id":"into-the-whispering-wild-book-hannah-dawn-gold-9781839528910","title":"Into The Whispering Wild","description":"Sometimes when things should be straightforward, they're just not. When Hannah sets out to move house, the process falls apart repeatedly, facing her with a stark question what does she really want? The prospect of homelessness is a looming reality that brings a lifetime's worth of fears to the fore. Yet behind it all, is the constant, subtle sense of an indefinable 'something' important, lost but almost within reach. The wild world is whispering and asking What if there's a better way?     Her conversation with the wild begins. With a young puppy and an inexplicable sense of hope and opportunity, she returns eventually to the one place to which she has always felt connected, the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Maybe the place will bring her home.     The death of her mother adds further turmoil and grief. Seeking refuge in a caravan with her dog, she turns to the wild for clarity. There on the Lizard, on the South-West coast, in the magical landscape that called to her and spoke of home, she rediscovers the power of the wild and our ancient relationship with it.    Hannah embarks upon an unexpected journey of reclaiming the inner self she had almost forgotten. Amid winter storms and soft sea mists, through every nuance of the seasons, she immerses herself in the wild and it shows the way back to an ancestral awareness of the inner nomad and settler within us all.    Into the Whispering Wild is a true story, a raw but hopeful account of how our relationship with the wild is vital to our inner strength and ability to navigate life’s changes. Powerful yet gentle, this honest account of one woman’s journey into the meaning of home is a life-affirming tale of love, hope and determination. It urges us to rejoice in the healing power of our vital bond with the wild world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51627208900881,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51627209195793,"sku":"NGR9781839528910","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51910522798353,"sku":"GOR014457427","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53508201152785,"sku":"GOR014951597","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1839528915.jpg?v=1751444005"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-hannah-dawn-gold.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
