BERT and BILLY, by Mark Carthew, ill. Shane McG (Nov 10th 2026)
A mountain troll — who desperately wants to be liked — gets together with a passing billy goat to help solve his problems, in a delightful story about foibles, friendship and fun!
Ten Green Bogles, by Mark Carthew, ill. Dave Atze (Feb 2nd, 2027)
Follow Mark Carthew and Dave Atze’s zany crew of green bogles in a singalong adventure that bounces, tumbles … and giggles all the way down the wall!
