Solomon and Mortimer by Catherine Rayner
We love playing jokes, as do Solomon and Mortimer. But jokes don’t always go to plan which is what happens in this story when two bored little crocodiles decide to surprise a hippo!
Thank Goodness For Bob by Matthew Morgan & Gabriel Alborozo
Thank Goodness for Bob is a fantastic story for helping children to understand that worrying is normal. Worrying is something that we all do and this story shows children how they can deal with their worries so that they don’t rule their lives like they do for the main character, Max.

Originally published in 1977 it’s fabulous that this humorous story has been read and enjoyed by several generations of children.
