Zoe and Beans: Hello Oscar!
By Chloe and Mick Inkpen

Absolutely wonderful illustrations in this storybook. Zoe finds a guinea pig at the bottom of her garden. But, the animals just keep coming through. Where are they coming from? Love the way she rushes off to Google at one point.

The Paper Dolls

This is a really heartwarming story, following the adventures of a little girl and her train of paper dolls. When the little girl grows up, she makes a train of paper dolls with her own child and so the adventures continue. Absolutely brilliant.
