The Twenty Bears are back, and this time they’re off on holiday for seaside fun, counting and plenty of chaos! When twenty bears go to the beach, they are in for a very busy day! Each bear has their own priority, and readers will have fun counting the bears as they explore the beach.
Today is a regular day, a mother and her son are just going on their daily walk. And yet, there is so much taking place within this ordinary routine! There are good manners to practice as they greet a passersby, there are gentle creatures to wave at and pet, there is exercise as well as fun to be had as they stretch their limbs, there is a world of imagination to explore as they look for sticks and draw on the sand. Even when the day becomes a bit scary, and quite tiring too, for this mother and son duo, there is nothing more special than simply spending time together, hand in hand.
Irelandopedia Weather is one of four new boardbooks from the creators of Irelandopedia.
A beautiful boardbook, readers and parents may recognise the colourful illustrations and design from the original Irelandopedia, which taught young readers all about Ireland. Now, John and Kathi Burke have created a wonderful boardbook for pre-readers.
Anyone familiar with the Burkes’ previous work will recognise the style of the striking illustrations. This boardbook is a welcome addition to the Irelandopedia series, and is aimed at the youngest readers, featuring the numbers 1–10. The numerical form as well as the word in English and in Irish appears in clear white font on brightly coloured pages. This dual language format makes it easy for parents to introduce small children to numbers in two languages simultaneously.
Sniffy is a gift from Mama and Skunk takes him everywhere. The pair share lots of fun and adventures, and Sniffy’s special smell provides Skunk with reassurance when he needs it. When Sniffy goes missing, Skunk is relieved to find him in the washing machine but something isn’t quite right – Sniffy has lost his special smell! Mama and Skunk try to find Sniffy's smell, but it is only when Mama hugs Skunk that he discovers why Sniffy’s smell was so special.

In what is truly a dream team combination, Patricia Forde and Paddy Donnelly’s new book is that increasingly rare thing in picturebooks: an adventure story.
This is a fun and exciting story that celebrates family in all its forms, as well as the superhero potential in both children and adults. On Oakley’s birthday, his mums are away battling a super slime monster, leaving him and his Nana Anna to prepare for the party. When the slime from their suits begins to spread through the house, Oakley and little sister Lyla find themselves in the middle of a series of wildly imaginative events.
