A fabulously funny story, inspired by the much-loved classic character, from two giants of children’s books!
“Mirror, mirror on the wall. Where is the cuddliest teddy of all?”
Snow White has lost her teddy bear. Taking the magic talking mirror from the wall, she sets off into the forest to find him, where – one after another – she makes friends with some real bears! The bears offer to help Snow White, but they are much more interested in having fun – will she ever find her teddy? A delightfully funny story packed full of boisterous bears!
From Michael Rosen, the highly regarded author of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, comes this wonderful story inspired by the famous fairy tale, brilliantly brought to life by David Melling, the creator of Hugless Douglas.

Dexter Procter The 10-Year-Old Doctor
It was clear from an early age that Dexter Procter was different.
He started speaking at four seconds old. By the age of three, he had 87 A-levels, from Afrikaans to Zoology.
And by ten, he was working as a paediatrician at Lilydale General Hospital.
Despite a loving but annoying family and a couple of good friends (Rupi and Otto), Dexter’s always struggled to fit in. Add to this a mortal enemy (Dr Drake) and a major problem at his old school (all the teachers struck down with awful diarrhoea) – will Dexter be able to save his job, save the school and find his place in the world? (Spoiler alert: yes!)
A laugh-out-loud new fiction series about the world's youngest doctor from the record-breaking Adam Kay and Henry Paker.

Clarice Bean Smile
Clarice Bean is back with all her trademark humour in this heartwarming story by former Children’s Laureate Lauren Child
At the moment I am daydreaming about inventing something exceptionordinarily good that could change the world for the better, because of all the things, it’s the better that’s needed.
And if you are thinking I'm too small to make a difference then remember the plankton – they are one of the tiniest creatures on the planet but without them where would we be? Probably living on Mars.
The utterly wonderful Clarice Bean is thinking about the endangered things: the big creatures, the little creatures, the plants and the trees. But it’s not just the planet that needs help – there’s her whole family too . . .
