'Award-winning novelist Elliot Perlman’s second book of Catvinkle’s adventures is another wise, wonderful and warm-hearted tale.

'When best friends Catvinkle and Ula are asked to defend two sheep accused of eating Amsterdam's tulips, they're not sure what to believe. The sheep say they're innocent, but they do look very sheepish.

'To win this case, Catvinkle will need the help of a wolfhound, a llama, two travelling koalas, a pair of Russian bears . . . and a very special bird.' (Publication summary)

'Violet and her Granna live in the bush. Every morning, they wake up before the sun and go to catch all the colours as they appear on the horizon. When Granna gets sick, Violet decides to colour catch on her own... and discovers that colours can be found everywhere, even in your imagination.'(Publication summary)

'When a pampered cat has to share her home with a lost dog, sparks are set to fly. To her surprise, Catvinkle starts to like Ula. She even tells Ula her three secrets. But a cat and a dog can’t be friends – can they?

'A tail-spin of a tale that will make you howl with laughter – and remind you that if you aren’t open to adventure, you might never meet your best friend.'  (Publication summary)

'Mr Mo was a little monster. He was soft and squishy and not a bit scary.

'Mr Mo spends all his time with his best friend Jane, singing songs, doing magic tricks and sometimes making mischief. But one day, Mr Mo starts to grow.

'He grows a little more, and a little more, until he is so worried about becoming big and scary that he hides away.

'They are both so sad on their own - but Mr Mo soon realises that even big scary monsters still need their best friend (especially during very loud thunderstorms).'
