Do you remember what it was like when you had your first pocket money, but you weren’t sure what to spend it on? The boy in this book visits a variety of shops but finally makes the best transaction of all!
• A gentle look at the nature of shopping, and making choices between the things you can afford
• A philosophical story showing that there are some things that money can’t buy

‘This is a splendid piece of theatre. Satoshi’s animals are presented with panache: the
gamut of eloquent expressions is sheer genius.’ RED READING HUB
‘Satoshi Kitamura’s artwork is immediately recognisable and Hat Tricks is a typically joyful, bold, bright celebration of the imagination …
Kitamura’s comic timing is impeccable.’ LOVEREADING4KIDS
No visit to an art gallery can rival this one! Tom visits a very special exhibition where each picture features a cat. One by one, the cats all leap out and follow him, until a very large, scary cat makes them rush back to the safety of their frames. But these aren’t just any cats or any pictures!
• Ruth Brown has created her own unique and amusing masterpieces in the style of twelve well known painters from around the world.
• Young children will enjoy discovering the pictures with Tom, watching the increasing number of cats following him around, and matching the cats with the pictures.
• Adults will love the gorgeous and inventive paintings, have fun recognising which artists are referred to, and enjoy the visual and textual jokes.

It must be so frustrating when you know what you want to say, but you have trouble saying it out loud. This is the experience of the autistic sister of this delightful sibling duo. However, there is plenty of fun she and her brother can have together without verbal communication, and she is often one step ahead of him!
• A gentle and sympathetic examination of the problems of communicating without having the power of speech
• The story is, unusually, told from the sister’s point of view, using a mixture of thought and speech bubbles
• Bold, bright and energetic artwork coupled with humour and lightness of touch make this an upbeat book to return to again and again
• Companion to ME AND MY SISTER which was written from the brother’s point of view
‘Delightful picture book! Young siblings who are growing up with a brother or sister with autism will
readily identify with the sibling experiences depicted. This is a lovely book for parents to read with young siblings and will help start those conversations about the enjoyable and difficult as-
pects of their family lives.‘
