Slow Samson
by Bethany Christou

Everybody loves Samson. He is a kind and considerate sloth who is always available for a chat or to give a helping hand. As a result he has many friends and gets lots of exciting party invitations. There’s only one problem – Samson is very, very slow.

The Colour MonsterThis simple but effective book is designed to help your toddler understand and talk about their emotions.
