Veg: The Story of a Carrot-Crunching Dinosaur is a rollicking laugh-out-loud tale about being unapologetically yourself.Reginald’s a T. Rex just as fierce and ferocious as the rest: He’s got a mighty roar, gnashing teeth, and all the speed a dino could need.

When Reginald realizes how different he is from the others, he hopes to find a place to fit in among the herbivores.

Rex clan, he’ll show everyone what only a strong, vegetarian Tyrannosaurus rex can do.
“Messages of acceptance of difference and healthy eating are intrinsic to character and story. Ingenious rhymes (with British pronunciations) make for a fun and funny read aloud . . . a rollicking tale of vegetarianism and individuality.” –Kirkus Reviews

Virtually Christmas: A funny illustrated children’s book from million-copy bestseller David Baddiel – fantastic festive fun for kids!
The HILARIOUS new novel and the year’s most perfect festive gift – from million-copy bestselling author David Baddiel
It used to be the most WONDERFUL time of the year, but for years Christmas has been taken over by Winterzone.
All the things that made Christmas special are gone: the human connection, the baubles passed down through generations, even the rubbish cracker jokes.
Instead, Christmas is run by robots, while 3D holograms of Santa Claus called Santavatars check if you’ve been naughty or nice – and on Christmas Eve, all of the presents are delivered by ZoneDrones instead of Santa’s reindeer!
But when they stumble on a curious clue, eleven-year-old Etta and her friend Monty find themselves thrown into a fight to bring back Christmas. Racing against time and against the might of Winterzone, they must find the real Santa – before the true meaning of the festive season is lost forever . . .
David Baddiel’s book ‘The God Desire’ was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 17-04-2023.
