Anders Frang Books

An anarchic, hilarious story by exciting debut author Bethan Clarke, illustrated with deadpan humour by rising star Anders Frang.

Gus the Goat loves guessing. And he loves rhyming. So, when he meets Mavis Mole, he can’t help himself trying to guess where she lives. Is it in a hole? In a bowl!? In a Sausage ROLL!! No, not quite . . .

This super-silly and totally HOLE-ARIOUS story will have kids laughing out loud and joining in with Gus Goat’s outlandish guessing game. Perfect for inspiring a love of language in little ones. Fans of The Day The Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers, the Supertato series by Paul Linnet and Sue Hendra, and anything Dr Seuss, will adore Holey Moley!

Meet the amazing animals of Scotland in this beautiful book, packed full of fun facts, vibrant illustrations and maps showing where to spot these wonderful creatures. Young conservationists will love exploring Scotland’s distinct habitats — sea and coast, mountains and forests, rivers and lochs, and grasslands — and learning about the incredible creatures that live there. Discover exciting facts about Scotland’s most famous and best-loved animals — including puffins, seals, red squirrels, golden eagles, otters and Scottish wildcats — and reveal the amazing secret lives of unexpected creatures such as limpets, lizards, ants, eels, water voles and sharks!
