Children’s books
When it hatches a small dragon, Rupert and his parents are delighted. But when the dragon grows too big, he has to go. Can Rupert find a way to keep him? A heart-warming picture book for four-plus.
Horrid Henry Rocks, by Francesca Simon (Orion; €6.09), is another saga in the life of a kid so wicked he could only be loved by his villainous peers and a shortsighted mother. These four stories show him at his worst as he torments his younger brother, wrecks Moody Margaret’s sleepover by scaring the girls and shocks a whole audience at Daffy and her Dancing Daisies Show. A! laugh-aloud romp for boys aged six-plus.
