As you browse our website you will be informed of the stock status of particular titles. If you are unsure what the status means, an explanation will pop up when your mouse cursor moves over it.

Please note:
Individual titles stock status is updated three times a week so reports are normally accurate.

From time to time however we can have multiple orders come in between website updates so status reports for a short period of time may be inaccurate, which means a title listed as "In Stock" may need to go to backorder.

Best known for There's a Hippopotamus on our Roof Eating Cake which is 25 years old, and read by millions of children in many languages, Hazel Edwards' Hand Me Down Hippo (Penguin) is the mini, female cousin, illustrated by Mini Goss.
