Books by Emily
Beware: Ralfy Rabbit and the Secret Book Biter
Bloomsbury, June 2021 Ralfy Rabbit LOVES books. He loves nothing more than finding a quiet spot and reading. But things aren’t so quiet anymore. Rodney, Ralfy’s new baby brother, is making sure of that. And when Ralfy discovers a huge bite-mark hole in one of his favourite books, things go from bad to worse. Who could be behind the biting? Ralfy Rabbit is determined to find out!
Eric Makes A Splash
Bloomsbury, 2018 Eric is about to make a splash … Or is he? The problem is that Eric is a worrier, and nothing worries him more than the thought of swimming. So when Eric receives an invitation to a pool party, he is sent into a worrying whirl.
There’s Broccoli in My Ice Cream!
Bloomsbury Children’s Books, September 2017 Granville loves sweet, sugary, chocky wocky gooey things to eat. NOT fruit and vegetables.

Only, Granville has a plan of his own and it will surprise everyone!
