    “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).

    In this sleep story, the Moon Girl will make an extraordinary journey on a cloud-boat, and find out what pandas dream about... Another day was almost over. The weary sun slowly dipped below the horizon to have a little rest. Birds flew back to their nests and folded their tired wings. Forests, fields and meadows grew quiet. Hares, foxes, badgers and tiny mice hid in their cosy burrows. Fish of various colours fell asleep in the rivers. Dolphins and whales came to a stop in the peaceful ocean. Everything was sinking into the world of magical dreams.
