Hrefna Bragadottir and Baxter's Book (Nosy Crow), the irresistible story of Baxter's search for a book of his own. Meg McLaren and Life is Magic (Andersen Press), the spectacular tale of Monsieur Lapin and his assistant Houdini. Bethan Woollvin and Little Red (Two Hoots), a wonderfully wicked take on Little Red Riding Hood.
