Andy Griffiths
This is a fast-moving, highly visual comic novel about two boys inventing, writing and being repeatedly distracted in their extraordinary treehouse. Its humour comes from absurd machines, fantastical creatures, cartoon drawings and playful attention to making a book.
Anna Brooke, illustrated by Owen Lindsay
Expect comic reading with deliberately silly bodily humour, short chapter titles and inventive phrases.
Joshua Seigal
This is chiefly a playful poetry experience: children can enjoy saying rhymes aloud, spotting puns and meeting unfamiliar words, while some later poems introduce absence, grief and more serious feelings.
Michael Rosen
Expect lively, short-to-long poems designed for reading aloud, joining in and experimenting with rhythm, pace, volume and expression. The collection offers many entry points rather than one sustained plot.
Attie Lime, illustrated by Kate Sheppard
Expect playful poems that invite laughter and imaginative thinking, balancing recognisable childhood moments with fanciful questions, surprising creatures and deliberately silly situations.
