\n\"AaronDon’t Call Me Bear
\nby Aaron Blabey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Warren the koala is the star of the riotously funny Don\u2019t Call Me Bear!<\/i> Warren is lovable, but a little bit grumpy – why can\u2019t everyone stop calling him a bear? He\u2019s a marsupial!<\/p>\n

This book combines Blabey\u2019s trademark rhyming stories with a fun lesson on Australian animals. It\u2019s fantastically funny story, perfect for both toddlers and early primary students. Plus, Aaron Blabey\u2019s humour is a lot fun for parents too! Learn More.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Marge<\/a>Marge in Charge
\nby Isla Fisher<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marge in Charge<\/i> is a wondrously funny collection. There are three stories in the book, featuring Jemima, Jake and their amazing babysitter Marge, who is incredibly tiny, and grew up in a palace! She always adds something fun to the to-do list Mum leaves behind.<\/p>\n

I absolutely wish that I had had a babysitter like Marge \u2013 and I\u2019m very tempted to try my hand at\u00a0the\u00a0chocolate soup she creates! The illustrations by\u00a0Eglantine Ceulemans are also just fantastic! Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n

\"AChildofBooks\"A Child of Books
\nby Oliver Jeffers & Sam Winston<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the greatest gift you can give a book lover… of any<\/em> age.<\/p>\n

The child of books encourages a little boy to follow her – to sail on a sea of words, to climb mountains and to sleep on clouds. The illustrations are absolutely incredible – Sam Winston has created amazing landscapes using words from children’s classics to host Oliver Jeffers’ characters.<\/p>\n

With a truly wondrous interior encased in this gorgeous cloth-bound book, A Child of Books<\/i> makes a wonderful gift, whether for a special child in your life, or just for yourself! Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n

\"EmilyRodda\"<\/a>The Hungry Isle
\nby Emily Rodda<\/strong><\/p>\n

I absolutely ADORED\u00a0Deltora Quest<\/a><\/em> when I was little, and was unbelievably thrilled to discover the\u00a0new series, Star of Deltora.\u00a0<\/em>It is a wonderful story, set in the fantasy world of Deltora.\u00a0The series follows Britta, a young girl who is determined to become Apprentice to the famed Trader Mab.<\/p>\n

The Hungry Isle\u00a0<\/em>is the final book – so much action is packed in! There are twists and turns galore! The series is a fantastic book for all kids – whether they loved the original Deltora Quest\u00a0<\/em>stories, or if they’re new to Emily Rodda’s marvellous world! Learn More. <\/a><\/p>\n

\"78<\/a><\/p>\n

The 78-Storey Treehouse<\/strong>
\nby Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton<\/strong><\/p>\n

The boys are BACK! The treehouse has 13 new levels – there’s a drive-thru car wash, Andyland (populated by Andy clones), Terryland (full of crazy Terry clones), a combining machine (make crazy animal hybrids!), and so much more.<\/p>\n

In this book, the boys aren’t hurrying to write another story for their angry publisher, as they were in the other stories. This time, there’s a movie-maker in town! Mr Big Shot wants to make a movie about the boys, but he doesn’t like the way they always do things. So much crazy treehouse action is packed into this book! And be sure to look out for the spiky cows on each page! Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n
