'An adorable picture book that celebrates the arrival of a new baby, with gorgeous illustrations by the bestselling illustrator of It's Not Scribble to Me.

'Here you are. Look at you!
Tiny, precious, all brand-new.
At first you were a beating heart,
Now your life's about to start ... Hello, Baby!

'A sweet story that perfectly captures the special feelings that arrive with a new baby, and which will welcome that bundle of joy into hearts and homes.' (Publication summary)

'Rocket through the solar system in this funny, fact-filled whirl around the planets. Join two junior astronauts as they discover what makes each planet unique and what might happen if you were to get too close. 'You couldn't land on Mercury - the heat would burn your bum!'

'Written in rollicking verse and beautifully illustrated, Blast Off! is an enticing mix of narrative and information. The story is perfectly pitched for preschool and early primary school children who are brimming with curiosity about the world around them, while bonus fact pages add a little extra depth for children (and adults) who want to know more.'  (Publication summary)
