- Have You Ever Seen a Sneep? By Tasha Pym and Joel Stewart

Doubleday, hardback, £10.99

Oscar is trying to enjoy his day out but the moment his back is turned, the Sneep and its mischievous friends sneak up and spoil his fun. It's time, he thinks, to move to somewhere free from sneeps and snooks and loons and knoos.
