Six farm eggs, a cake for tea, a pound of pears and don’t forget the bacon.’A young boy sets out to do the shopping, determined to remember his simple list but as the sights and sounds of town distract him he finds himself in a terrible muddle.

Rosie has lost her baby chick. She looks under the hen house. She looks behind the wheelbarrow. But little baby chick isn’t there. But watch out Rosie – there’s someone following you, and it’s not just your baby chick!

The funny sequel to the much-loved and bestselling Rosie’s Walk, with the same element of danger and surprise that children so enjoy.

A classic rhyming picture book about a gust of wind that sweeps along a series of items; an umbrella, a balloons and even somebody’s wig. Will the wind blow the objects all the way out to sea? This makes a fun story that children will easily remember and enjoy innovating by imagining their own host of items to be swept along by the wind.
