Dogs Don't Do Ballet 

Anna Kemp 

Waterstones Says

Celebrating ten Biff-tastic years of this hilarious story about a small dog with a big personality and even bigger dreams! Meet Biff, an adorable little puppy who will stop at nothing to become a ballet dancer.

My dog is not like other dogs. He doesn't do dog stuff like weeing on lampposts or scratching his fleas, or drinking out of the toilet. No, my dog likes moonlight and music and walking on his tiptoes. You see, my dog doesn't think he's a dog. My dog thinks he's a ballerina!

A fabulous feel-good book about a small dog with a big personality and even bigger dreams. This super-shiny 10th anniversary edition of this much-loved modern classic includes two brand-new pages showing what Biff has been up to since we saw him last!

The Worst Witch 

Jill Murphy 

Waterstones Says  

Merging the boarding school stories of Enid Blyton with the supernatural charm of Diana Wynne Jones, The Worst Witch is the classic story of poor Mildred Hubble and her turbulent first term at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches.

Celebrate The Worst Witch, the original magical boarding school series, with this spellbinding 50th anniversary edition. School spells trouble for Mildred Hubble! Disaster-prone Mildred is a trainee at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches, but she's making an awful mess of it. She keeps getting her spells wrong and crashing her broomstick.

'Riding a broomstick is no easy matter!'

She manages to scrape by until she turns Ethel, the teacher's pet, into her worst enemy, and her cauldron begins to bubble with chaos. . .
