Dog Loves Counting

Dog can't get to sleep. He loves books so much that he just can't stop reading. Dog tried counting sheep, but it's not working - perhaps there are some other creatures he can count?

Soon Dog is off on an adventure, finding friends and numbers in unexpected places.

Very Little Red Riding Hood contains one of the most perfect representations of toddler habits I’ve read in a picture book and I’m so excited that it’s the first in a series… This isn’t just my choice for the list, (my daughter) adores this story.

Get your hands on this sweetly funny variation of the traditional story. With her toddler talk and winning smile, Very Little Red Riding Hood is an absolute charmer. …this first time collaboration between Heapy and Heap is a whole heap of fun.

In constant demand, eliciting hoots of laughter with every read through, but more than that - lots of really cute and hilariously funny scenes unfold as you read, and it's the perfect book to appeal to quite a broad age range

This is bound to become an oft-requested favourite and one I that I cannot wait to read aloud

The whole book is such fun with lots to look at in the funny and sweet illustrations. The best thing, of course, is that when you’ve read it, you can read it all over again – on demand, I am certain.

The magic of reading is the inspiration for this stunningly illustrated debut in which a little boy takes a long and eventful journey across a snow-bound imaginative landscape. ...

Beautiful vast snowscapes are the visual backdrop to this magical story.... Captivating and atmospheric.

Picture books have never really appealed to me. Until I saw When It Snows. The paintings. They are absolutely beautiful! The attention to detail, the light and shade and the undeniable talent of Collingridge... it's just breath taking.
