Osborne Guide for Children

Osborne: A Guide for Children

Packed with fascinating facts and fun things to do, the Osborne Guide for Children helps families explore the amazing seaside home of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert – and their nine children! Osborne was a special retreat on the Isle of Wight where the queen and her family could relax free from the hustle and bustle of royal life.

The royal residence is now run by the English Heritage and enjoys over a quarter of a million visitors a year. The guide for children aims to increase engagement for families with children aged 5-12 and leave eager young minds with a lasting impression of Victorian life at Osborne.

The Eyebrows of Doom

by Steve Smallman / Little Tiger
illustrated by Miguel Ordóñez
Hardback, 32pp.
Published in the US March 1, 2022.

This ridiculous, whacky, rhyming text is paired with deadpan illustrations. The frenetic hand-drawn energy of the mischief-making eyebrows creates a fun contrast with the ultra clean and cool characters.

Octopants: The Missing Pirate Pants

by Suzy Senior / Little Tiger
illustrated by Claire Powell
Hardback, 32pp.

Octopants The Missing Pirate Pants is the silly and sweet follow-up to the Book Trust’s Bookstart Treasure book Octopants. Now that Octopants has found his unique style, he is on a mission to help Pufferfish find his favourite pirate underpants — that have gone mysteriously missing. Another great twist ending!

Working with illustrator Claire Powell from initial thumbnails to completed colour artwork was a dream.

Never Mess with a Pirate Princess

by Holly Ryan / Little Tiger
illustrated by Siân Roberts
Hardback, 32pp.

Princess Prue was sweet and fair, till PIRATES stole her teddy bear! A fun rhyming adventure with a satisfying twist.

It was such a joy to guide rising star Siân Roberts from pencil thumbs to final colour illustrations on her first picture book. There were a few bumps along the way — a little ole pandemic and some major home flooding — but it was a brilliant collaboration for Little Tiger and it turned out beautifully.
