The Viking Who Liked Icing (by Lu Fraser)

The Waterstones Review

The author/illustrator of The Littlest Yak celebrates being yourself with the delicious rhyming story of a Viking boy who loves to bake and the impending Sports’ Day that could prove his undoing.

Nut isn't like the other vikings; he doesn't climb hills or swim icy lakes... but he does have one great passion - Nut LOVES to bake cakes! So when Viking Sports' Day comes round, it looks like certain disaster for Nut. Can his baking SAVE THE DAY?

Told in effortless verse, The Viking Who Liked Icing is a hilarious, heartwarming picture book about being yourself.

Cloud Soup (by Kate Wakeling)

The Amazon Review

'Limpidly welcoming and profoundly meaningful, some of these poems, on subjects from weird cakes to good ideas, bodies, dust and Antarctica, will surely stay with their enthralled readers for ever' - The Guardian

Bake a weird cake, pay a visit to the Deep, and get some inspiration for your very own word hoard! Anything is possible in the world of Cloud Soup, Kate Wakeling's breathlessly imaginative collection of poems for children.

Quieter poems sit alongside riotously funny ones in this sequel to Moon Juice. Readers are encouraged to look more closely at clouds, water, dust and trees, and to reflect on the knottier areas of life.   Please click here. Thank you.
