Jennifer has a diary and Iolanthe doesn't. But Iolanthe does have a vivid imagination and a gift for writing stories. When she sees empty pages in Jennifer's diary, she can't help herself - they're clearly waiting for tales much more exciting than her friend's records of shop visits and weather. Iolanthe is so taken with the diary that soon sharing it is not enough and, eventually, she finds something to swop with Jennifer for it - extra stories to be available to order whenever Jennifer needs them.

Jennifer's Diary

Dick King-Smith

Harmony's uncle sends her on a treasure trail - which disappointingly ends in her finding a 50p piece. But the coin is a magic one, and when you rub the queen's nose, your wishes will come true! 
 
From the number one author for animal magic comes this wonderful new edition of a much-loved classic.

The Queen's Nose

Roald Dahl

Quentin Blake

Inspired by Roald Dahl's spine-tingling story The Witches, we present the ultimate guide to witch-spotting, stuffed with fun activities, stories, jokes and more! 
 
**BRAND NEW FEATURE FILM COMING TO CINEMAS IN 2020, STARRING ANNE HATHAWAY, OCTAVIA SPENCER, CHRIS ROCK AND STANLEY TUCCI** 
 
 
Witches are hiding everywhere in plain sight and want to rid the world of smelly children like YOU! 
 
'For all you know, a witch might be living next door to you right now . . .' 
 
It's tricky to spot them because they look so ORDINARY. They have ORDINARY jobs, live in ORDINARY houses and wear ORDINARY clothes. That's what makes them so hard to catch . . . 
 
This book is the ultimate guide to bringing down witch-kind, packed with activities, extracts from the original story, games and bonus material.

How To Avoid Witches

Gyles Brandreth

WHAT'S BLACK AND WHITE AND RED ALL OVER? 
An embarrassed Penguin 
A sunburnt elephant 
A newspaper! 
 
Did those jokes make you laugh? Make you groan? Maybe a bit of both? There's a lot more where they came from. 
 
Collected here by jokesmith Gyles Brandreth are some of the best and worst jokes ever (plus a few riddles to keep you on your toes). 
 
From 'Knock, knock' to 'Waiter waiter', with some funny elephants and giraffes thrown in for good measure, this also has a bit of expert joke advice, so you can show others just how funny you can be!
