Jessy Carlisle
A gentle introduction to Laika, space and the historical setting, combining a dog’s personal voice with factual material. Its bilingual presentation and illustrations may invite shared reading, while the real history gives the story emotional weight.
Lindsay Mattick
A warm, historically grounded account of how a rescued bear became connected with Winnie-the-Pooh. Its layered storytelling, photographs and family records offer both an engaging animal story and an introduction to memory, wartime history and literary origins.
Edward Humes
A fact-rich investigation of rubbish as a cultural, economic and environmental problem, combining statistics and history with vivid people and practical examples of communities reducing waste.
Gloria Spielman
A focused introduction to Janusz Korczak as a doctor devoted to children, with potential to prompt reflection on how children should be treated and valued.
Owen Davey
Expect a visually led, imaginative space story rather than a reliable account of Laika’s life.
Sheena Dempsey
This is a lively time-travel comedy that combines ancient-Rome information with peril, slapstick and a rescue mission. Expect cartoon action, repeated catchphrases, potty humour and bright panels, with factual sections and a drawing lesson at the end.
Sathnam Sanghera
This is an informative, discussion-rich account of Britain’s imperial past and its links to present-day life. It introduces difficult questions about power, racism, historical responsibility and whose interpretations of history are heard.
