Fox on a box
Phil Roxbee Cox, Stephen Cartwright (Illustrator)

George and the Dragon
Chris Wormell
Red Fox
Far, far away in the high, high mountains in a deep, deep valley in a dark, dark cave - there lived a mighty dragon. He was an awesome and frightening creature, terrorising whole armies, destroying castles, demolishing forests and kidnapping princesses. But this mighty dragon had a deep, dark secret. This is a great book to share with children.
Handa's Hen

Handa and her friend Akeyo search for Handa's grandma's black hen, Mondi. While searching, they find all sorts of other animals. If you loved "Handa's Surprise", you will love this.
Hopping Mad
Michael Catchpool David Roberts (Illustrator)
Little Tiger Press
Fred has five frogs. Finn has five frogs too. And when ten frogs get together, it's party time. Hopping and bopping, jumping and jiving, all night long. But Fred and Finn don't find the froggy madness very funny. In fact they're hopping mad.
This is a counting book with that little bit extra, great for discussion.
