Toot toot sniffers! The beginning of autumn is upon us, thus it will only be a matter of mere moments until we are donning our tweed and snuggling up betwixt the log burner and the sherry decanter.
I have a rather droolsome abundance of gem-like wonderment to introduce you to this month, with treasures from amongst others the delightful Kevin Waldron, squeezesome Holly Surplice and new comer Emma Yarlett.
So sit yourself in a comfy chair and get a brew on...lets start with an EXCLUSIVE Sneak peek! (or should that be PEEKS !) at
It seems an age since the first Mr Peek book (5 years in fact) and now, almost upon us is a second, Mr Peek and his assistant Jimmy are celebrating a new arrival of their own in the form of a new baby panda (ahhhh)
Peek is busy organising a free extravaganza at the zoo so everyone can come and greet the monochrome bundle of joy, however as preparations are underway Peek realises the baby panda has in fact GONE MISSING! (and before you ask, NO it wasn't me...) as you can imagine, chaos ensues in the mad dash to find the missing star of the show.

A picture book with a baby panda in a bucket AND a chimps tea party certainly gets he sniffer seal of approval, also look out for Mr Peeks rather snazzy PJ's, I wonder if they do those in pug size...
With all the charm of the first book this welcome addition to the book sniffer shelf is witty and chic in bucket loads.

Sidney, Stella and the Moon By Emma Yarlett -
Published by Templar Publishing
Anarchic monobrowed siblings Sidney and Stella do everything together, everything EXCEPT sharing. Disaster strikes when the troublesome pair accidentally break the moon! Gasp. With spectacular pull out spreads to drool over and a good smattering of tittersome little details to spot. This modern and fresh picture book is set to be an intergalactic success.
Guinea Pig Party by Holly Surplice published by Nosy Crow.
This iced gem of a picture book is quite literally packed with chubby warbling guinea pigs in party hats, what's not to love!
Any book with a guinea pig conga, mild peril in the form of pin the tail on the donkey, scoffing too much cake, space hoppers and balloons gets a big licky seal of approval from the Sniffer. Counting to ten has never been so much fun. Holly has created a jolly counting book and her candy colour illustrations and spongy cover are the cherry on what is a quite delightful picture book.
