New Releases by Jonathan Heale

Hazel the guinea pig just wants to explore. But she's also very fond of food ... When her seven-year-old owner puts her down into the kitchen, she seizes her chance to escape - but her bulging tummy gets her stuck in a wellington boot! That's just the beginning of Hazel's adventures. She's about to meet Tobacco, a handsome boy guinea pig, and together they must fight off a hutch invasion from a curious furball called Fudge. Can Hazel and Tobacco warn the humans in time - using just the power of squealing? Brought to life by celebrated author and animal lover A.N. Wilson.

A first words-and-pictures book for the very young that's also a clear and simple guide to the animal world. Covers family pets, farm animals, baby animals, and unfamiliar creatures in the wild. A source of drawing, tracing, and coloring ideas. Full-color photos throughout.
