Deborah Chancellor
This offers a clear introduction to how milk moves from a cow and farm through processing to everyday foods. Its visual storytelling, facts and activities make the subject suitable for shared exploration.
Clive Gifford
A lively, visually supported introduction to what AI is, how it can be used and where it appears—from games and art to homes, space and the human body.
Richard O’Neill, illustrated by Kirsti Beautyman
A warm story about a child whose busy family weekend becomes an unexpected learning experience. It offers a lively picture of shared work, celebration and community, while making room for a child’s worry about disappointing school expectations.
Cornelia Funke
Expect an imaginative, creature-filled adventure centred on finding sanctuary. Friendship, loyalty, courage and environmental loss sit alongside danger, threatening creatures and occasional insulting language.
Adam Blade
Expect a quest-led fantasy centred on bravery, friendship and teamwork. Magical creatures create danger, while the conflict is framed as a struggle against an evil wizard’s spell rather than realistic wrongdoing.
Sally Symes and Stephanie Warren Drimmer
A broad, browsable introduction to everyday science and the natural world, built around children’s questions. Its mixture of concise answers, visuals, fact boxes and matching activities supports dipping in rather than reading straight through.
Paul Fleischman, illustrated by David Roberts
A lively, comic team caper in which classmates use specialised talents and improvised devices to recover a confiscated ceramic cat. The noir-like text, expressive illustrations and exaggerated characters make the adventure feel deliberately outlandish.
