The hero of our story loves his birthday present: a plant he names Ivy. But little does he know, Ivy is a high-maintenance sort of plant, one who requires special daily attention, and has a secret appetite for mischief. On Monday, our hero asks his sister to keep an eye on Ivy while he is out, but he arrives home and - where has his sister disappeared to? The next day he must ask Grandfather to look after the plant, but he vanishes too, as does Granny when she watches Ivy on Wednesday. Throughout the week the house becomes more and more empty, while Ivy continues to fill it, thriving and growing bigger each day...what is going on here? The mystery is solved with a surprise pop-up that reveals all! Full of twists and humour, this delightfully illustrated book by internationally renowned author Barroux will captivate young readers, while helping them to learn the days of the week in a fun and novel way.

A simple game of hide-and-seek takes on a new dimension as a growing city encroaches on the jungle the animals call home. Where’s the elephant? Where’s the parrot? Where’s the snake? And wait a minute — where are all the trees? Where will the elephant, parrot, and snake go now? A vibrant landscape in flux with three hidden animals on each spread offers parents and children an opportunity to talk about urban development and animal habitats.

GARDNERS VI BOOKS AMS006

Barroux tackles ocean pollution in the stunning follow-up to the critically acclaimed Where's the Elephant? - recommended by The Guardian, Sunday Times and The Sun. Find the whale, the clownfish and the starfish on every page - until the piles of rubbish start to make it much too difficult. Both a Where's Wally-style spotting game and a striking work of art, this almost wordless tale puts the power back in the hands (or fins) of the natural world, with a boldly beautiful twist ending. With an insight and warmth comparable to Frann Preston-Gannon's The Journey Home, Barroux has created an astoundingly powerful modern classic that promises to be remembered for generations to come. The perfect way to introduce the topic of the environment to boys and girls aged 3 and over. Barroux's books include Uncle John and the Giant Cherry Tree, which won him the 2005 Enfantaisie Award, and the extraordinary Line of Fire, Diary of An Unknown Soldier which has received widespread critical acclaim.

Three lost polar bears search for a new home in this timely book from award-winning French illustrator Barroux. Life is quiet and peaceful on the ice for three polar bears, until, "CRACK!" The ice breaks, and they drift away. The sea is dangerous, so they need to search for a new home. Then, the polar bears see it . . . Land! They're saved! But the cows there think they are too furry, bearish, and tall, so they don't let them live there. The panda says there's no room on his island (though there clearly is!), and the giraffes pretend not to hear. All the while, their ice floe is getting smaller and smaller until they come to an empty island. A new home, all to themselves! That is, until three lost monkeys who are looking for a new home come along. The bears think about it, and say that they are welcome! Barroux's beautiful story was inspired by the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis and promotes inclusiveness and welcomeness for children!
