    Arbona, Marion

    Abstract

    A wild, one-of-a-kind wordless picture book. A young girl is walking home from school in a big city. As she gazes up at window after window in the buildings on her route, she imagines the most fantastical goings-on behind them, which readers can see for themselves by opening the gatefold. An indoor jungle. A whale in a bathtub. Vampires playing badminton. Her imagination knows no bounds. Until, behind the last window, she is back in her own room, surrounded by some strangely familiar-looking toys.

  • The dragon who didn't like fire

    Creator

    Merino, Gemma

    Abstract

    From the award-winning Gemma Merino, author of the iconic The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water (over half a million copies sold worldwide), The Dragon Who Didn't Like Fire is a deeply funny story about acceptance, difference and unconditional love. Everybody knows that dragons can breathe fire, but unlike her brothers and sisters, this little dragon is different. She doesn't like fire but she desperately wants to fly and make her Dad proud. In an attempt at flying, she finds herself plunging into the lake. Being underwater should be wet, cold and horrid, but it feels AMAZING.
