Our much loved Violet Mackerel is now in paperback!

VIOLET MACKEREL quite likes helping.

She PARTICULARLY likes to help SMALL THINGS.

So when Violet makes friends with a tiny ladybird called SMALL GLORIA, she wants to give her a HELPING HAND.

But sometimes it's hard to know the best way to help a SMALL THING - especially when it's not in its NATURAL HABITAT.

Violet is a much loved character for girls 5+, with her thoughtful, determined and positive can-do attitude, and her creative ways to find solutions to everyday problems. 

"Violet really is a special character whose adventurous spirit and unique way of viewing the world is heartwarming. She is strong, determined, yet open to learning about everything around her. Really, she's just gorgeous ..." - Kids' Book Review
