Aunt Concertina & Her Niece Evalina is a wondrous book - a feast of words by well-known poet Paula Green accompanied by a visual feast of stunning paintings.
Aunt Concertina is an avid junk shop shopper who takes her unwilling niece along with her and, to Evalina's great delight, they find a magic kite which takes them on adventures throughout the world. They go to Mt Everest, the Nile, a volcano, Greenland, the Sahara, Venezeula, Tokyo, the Amazon and finally back home. It's a whirlwind of exploration. On every page there is so much to find in every exquisitely detailed illustration, and the language is rich in the kind of detail that children will love.

When Vicki Myron finds a young kitten abandoned in the Spencer Library return box, she nurses him back to health, deciding then and there that he will be their library cat, and naming him, appropriately, Dewey Readmore Books. Dewey loves his new home, but once he discovers the littlest library visitors - who like to chase him, pull his tail, and squeeze him extra tight - Dewey begins to wonder if he's truly cut out for the demands of his new job.
But, in the end, Dewey realises that helping people big and small is what he is meant to do, and that by sharing his special brand of Dewey love, he can be the best library cat of all.
Inspired by the heart-warming true story of Dewey, the library cat with a big heart.
