In this third festive podcast, I interview one of my favourite illustrators and authors, Elys Dolan, about her Christmas book, ‘Santa’s Wonderful Workshop,’ (and chat workers’ rights in Mr Bunny’s Chocolate Factory) and recommend some more brilliant books to give as Christmas presents this year (Sammy Claws, Last Stop On the Reindeer Express, Christmas Gremlins, and How to Hide a Lion at Christmas.) At the end, I reveal my next interviewee (it’s a great one!)
Strange and spooky things are happening down on the farm, and Farmer Greg knows exactly who to call -Ghost-hunters! The three little pigs are the best guys for the job, a specialist team of Ghosthunters equipped with the latest in ghost-hunting gadgets. But when the Phantom Finder 5000 fails to recognise any paranormal activity AT ALL, the pigs realise all is not quite as it seems. . . and there’s certainly something suspicious about the mysterious chicken coup up on the hill . . . could that be a were puppy? The Stories Aloud audio edition of The Mystery Of The Haunted Farm is written and illustrated by Elys Dolan and published by Nosy Crow.

An elite crew of furry animals are celebrating. They have found the Lost Nuts of Legend and according to the myth, the bearer of this mythical snack will be immortal, invincible and never will it be past their bedtime – now all they have to do is go home. But – oh dear – if only it were that simple. Everyone is starving, the Star Nav is broken, the neighbours are distinctly unfriendly and it was a really, REALLY bad idea to stop at the Death Banana and ask for directions. Will they EVER find their way home? And, most importantly will they get home before something happens to the Nuts?’ From the hugely talented creator of Weasels, this stellar story is full of humour and action-packed pages to pore over. The Stories Aloud audio edition of Nuts in Space is written and illustrated by Elys Dolan, and published by Nosy Crow.

What they really do is . . . plot world domination. The Stories Aloud audio edition of Weasels is written and illustrated by Elys Dolan and published by Nosy Crow.
