You know that we love nothing more than a good book - here are ten new ones that have caught our eye.

Ella Queen of Jazz

Another unexpected friendship in this sweet story about a raincloud - because not everyone loves the sun.

Granddad's Secret Giant
Grandad's Secret Giant by David Litchfield

Stickley's second book is the story of Edith, who has moved house, and all her toys as they embark on adventures in her brand new room.

Brilliant board book exploring all the different kinds of animal feet and the things they are good at.
