After a fun-filled day of collecting shells and digging in the sand at the beach, things get complicated by the arrival of a new friend who tests the bond between Pip and Posy.

''Such an animal is difficult to tame and always likely, when suddenly alarmed, to give our finger a nasty nip with its teeth'' While dipping into The Children''s Encyclopaedia of 1910, Axel Scheffler came across a small but indispensible guide to procuring and caring for your pet squirrel. Intrigued by the unlikely notion of a child attempting to keep so wild an animal, Axel created a series of delightful, beautifully finished illustrations to accompany the text.

Pip and Posy are friends (most of the time!) in this series about the dramas of toddler life created by Axel Scheffler, whose books, including the modern classic, The Gruffalo - which has sold more than two million copies world-wide - have been translated into 29 languages. This is a board book edition.

This engaging new Pip and Posy picture book features richly-detailed scenes, a conversational, friendly text and Axel Scheffler''s characteristic touches of humour. The ''Can you find these things?'' panel along the bottom of each page adds an ''I-spy'' game element for extra fun - an ideal book for parent and child to share.

When Posy goes to stay at Pip''s house they have lots of fun together before bedtime. But just as they switch out the light, disaster strikes: Posy realises that she has forgotten her favourite frog toy. Desperate to help his distraught friend, Pip offers Posy a range of different toys to substitute for her frog, including his own favourite frog money box. But none of them will do, ''that''s the wrong frog '' Posy wails. It is only when Pip gives Posy his own, very favourite, pig toy that Posy is comforted and that the friends can get a good night''s sleep, at last.

In Pip and Posy and the Super Scooter, Posy snatches Pip''s scooter and tries to ride it, but she falls off and hurts her knee. Though Pip was very cross, he comes running to help her. Posy says sorry, and Pip forgives her before they build a sandcastle in the sandpit where it''s nice and soft. Pip and Posy are typical toddlers: they are best friends and they have fun...but sometimes, just like any other toddler, they get cross and sad, so sometimes it takes friendship, sharing and understanding - and a cuddle - to make things better.

What do you get when you cross a goat with a turkey? Why, a gurkey, of course! What about a pig with a sheep? Well, that would be a peep, naturally! With its sturdy, split pages and spiral binding, 121 possible combinations, silly names and animal noises to make you giggle, this hilarious rhyming flip-flap book in a fun format is perfect for pre-schoolers.

As Posy is baking cupcakes one rainy day, a big furry hand taps on her window, then a growl and a knock bring her to her door, where a scary--but somewhat familiar--monster waits.
