Forget the elephant in the room, what about the Elephant trying to horn in on your building site? More fun from Patricia and David!

For all the bumph and bluster about 'Celebrity' children's book authors, you have to give credit to those folk who can actually really write beautiful books...

Four of the naughtiest baddies hatch a plan in this deviously delicious new picture book...

Now here's a neat story that warns of the snowball effect of telling a tiny fib...which quickly spirals out of control...!

Have you ever tried to sneak a zoo animal onto public transport? No, neither have we but in "You Can't Take an Elephant on the Bus" we find out that not only is it inadvisable to try and cram a pachyderm into a charabanc, it's generally not a great idea to take a Tiger onto a train (oh how we hoped the Tiger would take a chomp out of the irritating businessman on his phone, slopping his expensive coffee about all over the place).

Crazy rhymes are the order of the day from Patricia Cleveland Peck - and even crazier illustrations courtesy of David Tazzyman (who we somehow managed to miss getting a credit on the cover of the book - his name features on the big bouncing beautiful red bus itself!)

There is, however, one form of transport that just about any animal - elephant or whale, monkey or pig, tiger or giraffe - can enjoy but we won't spoil the big reveal!

Charlotte's best bit: The skateboarding piggie! Oink!

Daddy's Favourite bit: Fun and bouncy book more suitable for younger readers who will love its craziness!

As anyone who has been the unfortunate recipient of a stag do 'prank' may tell you, eyebrows are extremely useful.

The young girl in this tale doesn't think so though. Eleanor thinks eyebrows are just useless bits of fluff that clutter up your face. After all, eyes are useful for seeing, mouths are great for tasting and eating, a nose can sniff out a lovely smell or a nasty niff and ears are good for hearing. But eyebrows? Why are they even there.

After Eleanor's extended rant, her eyebrows decide they know where they're not wanted, and wriggle off in search of more gainful employment.

Perhaps they can become performing 'caterpillars' or even the wheels on a fabulous motorbike?

Meanwhile Eleanor discovers that a face without eyebrows is a very odd face indeed. So in her desperation, and after a rather unfortunate incident with dear Grandma, Eleanor draws her own eyebrows with her felt tips and crayons (Ladies, I have a newly found respect for you if you pluck and draw on your own eyebrows. How on earth do you manage all that in a mirror?)

Poor Eleanor realises too late that eyebrows ARE useful and that she misses her own dearly. Is it too late to win them back? We'll let you find out when you read the book.

This is an extremely funny and whacky book that children will find an absolute giggle from start to finish (we just hope it doesn't give them any silly ideas about drawing on their own faces or borrowing mum's epilator to see off their own eye-fuzz - OWCH!)

Charlotte's best bit: Eleanor's Grandma being horrified at a no-eyebrow granddaughter.

Daddy's favourite bit: Brilliantly written and nice chaotic illustrations, a very original idea!
