Dave's Cave
By Preston-gannon, Frann
Dave loves his cave. The inside is decorated exactly the way he likes it. There's a spot for a fire and the grass is always green. But what if there's a better cave out there, with greener grass and bigger rocks? Dave needs to find out for himself. But it turns out that good caves are hard to find - they're either too noisy, or too spare, or too crowded, until he finds one in particular that looks much more promising. The rocks are big, and the grass is greener than any he's ever seen . . . but why does it look so familiar? This humorous romp from celebrated author-illustrator Frann Preston-Gannon reminds readers that sometimes there's no place like home.

Snowboy and the Last Tree Standing
By Oram, Hiawyn
A poignant tale about a game gone awry shows that in the face of greed and reckless destruction, one thoughtful person can make a big difference.Snowboy is busy saving the Polar Bear King when Greenbackboy approaches him with an idea for a game called KA-CHING - a game that will make them rich. It's easy: all they need to do is cut down all of the trees in the forest and catch all of the fish in the ocean and trade it in for piles and piles of shiny KA-CHING. But if all the trees are gone, they won't be able to breathe. And what is a sea without fish? Their world would be inhospitable. Since Greenbackboy can't see the forest for the trees, it's up to Snowboy to trust his instinct to protect and nurture, rather than destroy. In a tale that glimmers with quiet power and hope, Hiawyn Oram transforms a universal cautionary tale into an accessible and imaginative fantasy, made all the more vivid by Birgitta Sif's beautiful and atmospheric artwork.
