New Releases by Polly Dunbar

In Polly Dunbar''s hands, a familiar--and very funny--tale of leaving-the-house stress takes on a singular charm with her young child''s drawings in the mix. Josh and Mom are heading out to Aunty Nelly''s birthday party, and it''s time for Josh to put on his shoes. But Josh is in his own little world, and the more Mom begs him to put his shoes on, the wilder his imagination becomes. Filled with humor and winsome illustrations, Polly Dunbar''s one-of-a-kind story--brilliantly showcasing her young son''s artwork as clues to what''s going on in Josh''s mind--speaks to the universal struggle around getting ready to leave the house, a scenario both children and caregivers can relate to.

The perfect story for cat lovers everywhere – and for families with a new arrival, from the bestselling creator of Penguin and CBeebies'' Tilly and Friends, Polly Dunbar. ''Funny and charming'' – Sunday Times Like all cats, this cat absolutely loves fish. But what do you do when your owners start acting strangely? They don''t seem to understand the importance of fish any more. They are too busy buying tiny clothes, gathering colourful toys, and redecorating in pastel colours. And one owner in particular seems to be getting a lot . . . bigger. Something Fishy is a very funny family story from the award-winning Polly Dunbar. The adorable cat''s journey from jealousy and anxiety to love and acceptance will appeal to any child with a new brother or sister on the way!

Is a lion still a lion if he wears a hat? With whimsical illustrations and a nod to earlier classics, Polly Dunbar celebrates the shrewd mind of a child — and the power of saying no. Is a lion still a lion . . . if he skips down the street singing “Hoobie-doobie-doo"? Dapper in his hat and flourishing a cane, a very large lion invites himself inside, inquires about Auntie Sue, and spins the two children of the house around the room in a silly dance. He doesn’t mind at all if they invite him to lunch, where he gobbles up all his greens and devours the plate, too. When he leans in to ask for dessert, his sharp teeth gleam oh so pearly white, and it seems very possible that he may just bite. . . . Surely it’s time to go-go-go — until, that is, the brave little girl finds her voice in a most satisfying way. The Cat in the Hat meets Pierre meets The Tiger Who Came to Tea in this rollicking story with an exhilarating ending.
