It’s not easy to become friends with someone who is nothing like you – but surprising things can happen when you give it a try.A comforting story of friendship for any child who does not conform to traditional gender stereotypes, this is the story of two boys, as different as different can be. Big Bob likes trucks and throwing balls and being loud. Little Bob likes dolls and jingling bracelets and being quiet. No matter what they do, they do not do it the same. But when they become new neighbours, they might just find a way to be friends... With humour and tenderness, James Howe and Laura Ellen Anderson beautifully depict the struggles and joys that come when friendships are forged between different kinds of people.

One day an invitation Came to number 24. It was from a next-door neighbour Who they''d never met before. The children can''t wait - a birthday party? What fun! But their next-door neighbour is not all he seems. For starters, there''s his large snout and very sharp teeth. Not to mention his scaly skin . . . Yes, there''s no two ways about it, he''s definitely a CROCODILE. Erm, crocodiles don''t eat children, do they? A riotous romp of a picture book, superbly written by Mark Sperring and brilliantly illustrated by Laura Anderson. Snappy Birthday is the perfect present for any child - whether it''s their birthday, or not!
