The Youngest Elf and Other Stories is a collection of seven brand-new stories, all centered on the magic and fun of the holidays. Santa and his elves are in many of the tales, though there are some that don't feature the Jolly Old Elf. All the stories end happily, and there's no sex or violence so they are suitable for children. For instance, there's a dragon in one story, and another tells of a kitten who found a home on Christmas Eve. However, there is enough here to intrigue adults as well, and the stories truly are meant for all ages. The book is the first in a series, with the second due out next year.

Gail Rollo had a dream at age five that became Gorilla of My Dreams seventy three years later. She dedicates this book to all children: from Mommies who read to their babies to beginning readers. Let the adventure begin!

But then the unthinkable happens and the biggest, most horrible dragon of them all steals not only Danny's dad's brave but his dad too! So Danny has no choice but head into the dark forest to find the dragon and confront his fears. Join Danny on an epic quest where he meets frightening forest creatures and dragons along the way, only to discover that true courage is already inside of us.”

Can you imagine what your life would be like if there were no numbers? Young witch Isabella, back for her second adventure, is about to find out! In this colourful, rhyming picture book, the accident-prone little witch falls through a hole in the ground and lands in Numberland – a place where nothing quite adds up (because all the numbers have disappeared!)  In the course of her adventure, she makes new friends, encounters an old enemy (her former sidekick, Blot - an evil, scheming cat) and, though the odds are against her, finally saves the day. YOU CAN COUNT ON ISABELLA! Readers of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland will spot some connections between Isabella’s Adventures in Numberland and that wonderful, crazy children’s classic (there's a random dodo in it, for a start!). Fans of Isabella’s first adventure, Isabella, Rotten Speller, published by Peta Rainford in 2014, will also love Isabella’s Adventures in Numberland. Peta Rainford has again created an absurd, clever book that buzzes with vibrant, amusing pictures and interesting, funny, rhyming words.  This book will encourage young children to think about the importance of numbers and how numbers are used in our everyday lives, while at the same time being very, very silly!  This book will be a useful tool for parents and teachers, but most of all, a fun story for early readers and younger children who enjoy being read to.
