It’s June publication day!

Summer is here, and so are lots of new books – our June titles are published today! There some FANTASTIC new books in shops today from Nosy Crow – here they are (with one bonus title for luck).

There are two great new lift-the-flap books from the Can You Say It Too? series, illustrated by Sebastien Braun, out today – Growl! Growl! and Roar! Roar! As all parents know, little children LOVE making animal sounds. So a flap book in which they can spot an animal’s tail, lift the flap to reveal the complete creature, and then make its noise is guaranteed to be a winner!

It’s publication day for Littleland Around the World by Marion Billet. From New York to Australia, and lots of lands in between, this second Littleland picture book features a stunning scene on every spread and is perfect for developing vocabulary and exploring different cultures. With a ‘Can you see?’ feature on every page and a simple, chatty narrative, Littleland Around the World mimics the daily conversations between mother and child and makes the perfect next step up from board books. Here’s a look inside:

Princess Ruby really is a horrid child – the most spoilt princess you could ever meet. And when it’s her birthday, there are so many presents the palace literally bulges at the seams. Was there ever a more selfish princess? But when the palace and the gifts finally collapse under the poor king, the tiny tyrant realises that she has overlooked the most precious thing of all. And, luckily for Ruby, it’s never too late to make amends. Here’s a look inside:
