Axel Scheffler

Julia Donaldson
A quick-thinking mouse fends off animals that want to eat him by telling stories about a fearsome creature. When he meets the Gruffalo, he improvises again to get away.
Andrew Weale
This is a comic, imaginative rhyming story about Nora’s unstoppable appetite. The escalating silliness moves from food to unexpected objects, then into a fantastical space adventure, ending with a surprising happy consequence.
Tiffany D. Jackson
This is a friendship-centred mystery shaped by rap, ambition and grief. Its energy comes alongside serious material: murdered characters, gang involvement, crack dealing, police violence, drinking, explicit language and sexual-consent discussions.
Nick Sharratt
A cheerful school celebration becomes a lively water fight, with children, teachers, costumes, inflatables and a hose. The rhymes, repeated splashy sounds and colourful illustrations make the event feel energetic and playful.
Michael Rosen, illustrated by David Tazzyman
This is a performance-friendly poetry collection: playful sounds, repeated rhyme, comic images and short narratives offer opportunities to laugh, listen, join in and notice how words work.
A playful nursery-rhyme sequel becomes a tale of ambition, financial collapse, crime, punishment and renewed hope. The illustrations invite close looking, while Spoon’s narration gives the adventure a distinctive, world-weary voice.
Michael Rosen, illustrated by Kevin Waldron
Expect a humorous, performance-friendly story in which cake, sounds and expressive illustrations create a playful appeal.
Quentin Blake
Expect exuberant nonsense, rhyme and busy illustrations rather than a complex plot. Mister Magnolia’s unusual life centres on having one boot, and the story moves towards a mysterious parcel.
