The Book With No Pictures
You might think a book with no pictures seems boring and serious. Except, here's how books work. Everything written on the page has to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say 'blork' or 'bluurf'. Even if the words are a preposterous song about eating ants for breakfast, or just a list of astonishingly goofy sounds like 'blaggity blaggity' and 'glibbity globbity'.

The Ickabog
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustaches you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth, to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own. Could a myth unseat a beloved king? Could a myth bring a once happy country to its knees? Could a myth thrust two children into an adventure they didn't ask for and never expected?
