Being a penguin is perfectly pleasant but Harry wants more out of his life (that’s the problem with being a thrill seeker – always on the look out for adventure...) So when he sees that there is a tooth fairy job on offer, Harry grabs the chance with both flippers. #PBPitch

Journey through the alphabet, learning mind-blowing facts such as Cathy Capybara’s breakfast routine (warning - there’s poop involved), and why Pamela Pangolin sometimes smells of rotten eggs, in this STEM picture book designed to delight curious minds. #PBPitch #NF #C

Squatting on a rugby ball playing Hatch is fun and Bernard the cockerel can’t wait to grow up and lay eggs of his own. But when Dad drops the bombshell that it’s never going to happen, Bernard hatches a plan and discovers that there’s more than one way to be a mummy. #PBpitch

Harry fancies a change, so when he sees there is a tooth fairy position on offer, he can’t wait to attend the interview. But being a positive, progressive penguin is one thing, convincing the tooth fairy that he’s the ideal candidate is quite another. #PBPitch

This is the story of Shelley the Selfish Shellf…WAIT! WHAT? How dare you! Who are you calling selfish?...Shelley’s not having any of it and this crabby crustacean not only puts the writer straight, but puts forward a whole new perspective on the meaning of selfishness. #PBPitch

Alan is a little pig who dreams of dance stardom; he has only one problem – complete lack of talent. Determined to improve, he jiggles, wiggles, bops and hops until at a talent show he learns that being the best isn’t as important as he first thought. #PBPitch

From facts that make you go yuk, (Doug the Dung Beetle leaves gifts for his girlfriends – there’s poop involved) to info that brings on an ahhh (Sebastian Seahorse dances with his partner each morning) there’s something for everyone in this ABC with a difference. #PBPitch #NF #C
