Willie is a naughty young hippo, who lives in a safari park. He escapes from his pen at night and has fun with his friends. In this third book he plays football with some lion cubs after using his famous POO SPRAY ALERT to scare off the pesky monkeys. All Ted's royalties go to Save the Children. The black and white colouring pages at the back can be photo-copied for multiple use by families.

When Hans the farmer moves to a new farm, Lucy the calf gets accidentally left behind. This is the wonderful story of how she finds her way through the countryside, meeting all sorts of animals and learning lots about nature, roads and trains as she travels. Beautifully illustrated by Valentina Rinaldi, this is the third book in the older children's series written by Ted, with guest editor Steven Hodges lending an important hand.

Arthur lives with his cat, Ombra, in a peaceful village in Yorkshire. He was famous for his potatoes, right up until the day when he unearthed a space alien, called a Dinkle Donkle. His world changed forever. This is fiction for children, in testing it was enjoyed from age 5 to 11, and in one memorable case encouraged a young boy to want to learn to read by himself :)

Willie is a naughty young hippo, who lives in a Safari Park, and escapes in the evenings to have fun with his animal friends. When the book was tested children from 18 months to 7 years asked for it to be read to them again. This edition features a colouring section at the back.
