Congratulations! You now have a baby in your family. Follow our top tips and you’ ll all be very happy. Don’ t lend your baby to a kangaroo, plant your baby in the garden, or take to school with you – and definitely don’ t send your baby to play with an elephant!

DO cuddle your baby, read to your baby, sing to your baby and give your baby lots and lots of love.


Hooray! You have a new puppy! You're going to be best friends... as long as you DON'T do the following things; DON'T teach your puppy how to play the trombone or take her to school. DON'T let your puppy drive the car or juggle with the washing up. DON'T walk your puppy at a football match or wake her when she's sleeping. DO play with your puppy, be patient with her, walk her and give her lots of cuddles and love. In no time at all you'll be best friends! This hilarious, heart-warming picture book is perfect for anyone who has (or wants) a new puppy. The brilliant follow-up to 15 Things Not to Do with your Granny and 15 Things Not to Do with a Baby, this book features the same family and this time we see them learn how to look after their new puppy!

The hilarious follow-up to 15 Things Not to Do with a Baby has all the warmth and humour of its predecessor, focusing on the relationship between children and their granny.

DON'T hide an elephant in Granny's bed. DON'T send Granny up to the moon in a rocket, or wear her pants onyour head, or give her squashed jelly beans on toast for breakfast.

But do... dance with Granny, listen to Granny's stories, hug her and love her lots. She loves you!
