‘A Mole Like No Other’ by Julia B. Grantham is a fresh, delightful story about a toy mole who is looking for love, friendship and his place in the world. The tale of Moley and his friends is set in a cosy English country house with a traditional garden. While it is especially popular amongst 5 - 10 year olds, children of all ages will love Moley’s adventure, subtle literary references and tongue-in-cheek humor. This charming new tale is brought to sparkling life by Alison Larkin, internationally acclaimed comedienne and the award-winning narrator of The Complete Novels of Jane Austen, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and The Secret Garden. Larkin has been hailed by The Times as 'marvelously light-footed and hugely entertaining' and she brings all those skills into play here. ‘I liked all the characters but my favourite one was Moley. Moley is cute, brave, friendly and always wants to help. I would like to have a friend like Moley!’ Leon, Age 8
Dr. Ruth Westheimer's grandson, Ben, is afraid to join the soccer team. To help out, she tells him the story of Leopold the Turtle, who always stays on the shore. It terrifies him to go join the other turtles and play in the water and sun on the rocks. Leopold just can't get out of his shell, and the longer he waits the more he starts to doubt. Even though Leopold feels quite alone, he stays on the riverbank where it's safe. But Freddy the Frog is a little concerned about Leopold and asks him to join them in the river. Leopold has to choose whether to brave the unknown and join his friends or to stay lonely and remain safe on land. This charming rhyming tale of a turtle too afraid to set foot in the river proves that facing your fears can set you free.

Is the bear a new librarian? Not exactly. The new LiBEARian opens a book about bears and utters a loud growl. The kids love it! Then the real librarian appears and sends the bear back into the book he came from. A fun twist at the end rounds out this winsomely illustrated and magic-infused tale about a universal childhood experience-story time at the library.
