Welcome to Nosy Crow’s second catalogue and stocklist, with information about all of our 2013 titles and backlist.
We had a great time in 2012, which was our second year of publishing. We won several awards,
including the Independent Publishers Guild Children’s Publisher of the Year award. We published
35 new books and six apps. We launched seven debut authors, and published nine further
authors or illustrators who were new to our list though they’d been published before. We sold
rights to our books in 18 languages. We grew our website readership, our email subscription
list, and our number of Twitter followers and Facebook fans. We made a picture book in three
weeks, from idea to delivery to John Lewis (on whose Christmas TV ad it was based). We sold,
throughout the world, over £2,000,000 of books and apps.
In 2013, we’ll publish 50 more books and another handful of highly-ambitious, ground-breaking
apps. In January 2013, we launched Stories Aloud, a way of delivering free digital audio content
with every one of our paperback picture books (see p58). So the year started with a project
that we think is very true to Nosy Crow: innovative, supportive of retailers and librarians,
parent-friendly and child-focussed.
We really like to hear from you, so please email us at hello@nosycrow.com; follow us on Twitter,
where we tweet as @nosycrow, @nosycrowapps and @nosycrowbooks; find us on Facebook
(www.facebook.com/nosycrow); and visit our website, www.nosycrow.com, where we update
our blog (www.nosycrow.com/blog) every weekday.
We look forward to working with you throughout the coming year.
Thank you for your support.

Meet Mr and Mrs Grunt. Oh, go on. They’re not that bad. No, actually, they ARE. Maybe worse, even.
But Sunny, their sort-of son, is okay. They stole him from a washing line as a baby, where he was hanging by his ears, which probably explains why they’re so wonky (but not why he has sticky-up hair that NEVER lies flat, even if you pour glue into it).
Stick around and you’ll also meet Lord Bigg of Bigg Manor, Mimi the Bigg Manor bootboy (yup, she’s a girl), a little old lady with a great big blunderbuss and... Well, you’ll have to READ the book to find that out. But I should mention the bees.

Oh dear. The Grunts are back.
In this second Grunts adventure, Mr Grunt’s a man with a mission. He has to get a Person of GreatImportance (or POGI) to someone called Mrs Bayliss by the twenty-fifth. But no one else can know: there are sinister people interested in staging a POGI-snatch, so the POGI must be transported in a way that is secret.
But the Grunts’ stolen son, Sunny, has a few questions. Why does the POGI have to wear a barrel all the time? Who are Max and Martha and why are they sharing a false moustache? Is Rodders Lasenby a lovely person or simply the rudest man on the planet? And how long will it be before they find themselves All At Sea?
