  “A magnificently hilarious masterpiece!” Jenny Pearson on Monster Hunting for Beginners 
  Our hapless monster hunters are back – and this time they’re tackling dragons! Readers of 7+ and fans of Mega Monster and Shrek will adore this funny fantasy series from NI-based author Ian Mark and Belgian animator Louis Ghibault 
  When a dragon eats a bus on London Bridge, Jack, Nancy and Stoop are on a mission to track it down. But what does the dragon have to do with the death of Jack’s mum? And why has the monster hunting manual always filed dragons under ‘D’ for DON’T EXIST (things that)? Maybe there’s more to this ‘tail’ than meets the eye . . . 
  Packed with jokes, monster 'factoids' and hilarious footnotes​ while touching gently on processing difficult feelings and emotions, the 3rd title in this gut-bustingly funny, highly illustrated series is perfect for fans of the Dragon Realm series and reluctant readers aged 7-11. 
  In this award-winning sequel, Ian Mark weaves a tale of mythical creatures and folklore, where dragons are not just figments of imagination but a part of the juvenile world. The humorous undertone of the story makes it a delightful read for children, adding a unique charm to the old tales of monsters and fairies. 
  For fans of Louie Stowell (Loki), Jemma Hatt (The Adventurers and the Cursed Castle), Peter Brown (The Wild Robot), Cressida Cowell (How to Train Your Dragon), and Copeland, Sam (The Teeny-Tiny Bear Behind).

  This collection of Christmas nursery rhymes, complete with book cover images, and accompanying opening/closing song and background music, is designed to be a comprehensive and immersive holiday experience for children and families. The primary purpose of these rhymes is to capture the magic, wonder, and diverse traditions of the Christmas season in a format that is both engaging and accessible to young minds, particularly those aged six to eight. 
  The intent behind this collection is multifaceted. First, it seeks to provide a fresh and original source of festive storytelling that goes beyond the classic carols and rhymes. By introducing new characters, such as (in later collections) the Christmas starfish and the caroling mice, alongside beloved figures like Santa Claus and the Nutcracker, the collection aims to spark children's imaginations and create new holiday traditions. The rhymes are crafted to be easily readable and memorable, with rhythmic verses that support early literacy skills and a love for poetry. 
  Furthermore, the collection is designed to be a versatile resource for parents and educators. These shorter rhymes are perfect for recitation and memorization and offer narratives for bedtime stories or classroom reading. The inclusion of opening and closing songs transforms the book into a potential musical or theatrical production, encouraging creative expression and performance.

  Xuanzang and his disciples happened upon a demon disguised as a woman in distress, shouting for help. The monkey saw through the ploy but Xuanzang intractably took pity on her and let her accompany them to a temple. Xuanzang got sick in the temple, where the demon ate many people. After realizing what was happening, the monkey decided to carefully fight the female demon. Defeated, the demon fled and kidnapped Xuanzang as she left. The monkey went into the demon's cave several times to rescue Xuanzang, but the demon just hid. The monkey found two plaques indicating that the demon was the adoptive daughter of King Li. So, the monkey went to Heaven to invite King Li and Nezha to subdue her. As it turned out, the demon was the Golden-Nosed Albino Rat Spirit.
