Little Robots appear on the CHILDREN IN NEED DVD!

The Little Robots characters make guest appearances on the current CHILDREN IN NEED DVD and CD single. They sing along to a medly of songs with other characters from children's TV such as Bob the Builder, Postman Pat, Thunderbirds, Thomas the Tank Engine, Andy Pandy, Bill and Ben, Paddington Bear and of course Pudsey!

Peter Kay, who had the idea for the single two years ago, described the process of putting it all together as 'a logistical nightmare!', but the results look fantastic. There's also a poster of all the performers in a Sergeant Pepper-style pose for sale.

My latest picture book, "KRAKEN ATTACK!", is in the shops now! It's the first adventure in a series about the TIME PIRATES, a group of youngsters who do battle with bad guys and monsters as they travel through time. "Kraken Attack" is set in Atlantis as the kids try to break the curse of Poseidon and defeat the blood-curdling Kraken! Click on the cover for more details.

Enormous thanks to Corina Fletcher for her wonderful paper engineering, Hannah Ray for a sparkling story, Jo Spooner, Chris Innes and all at MACMILLAN'S CHILDREN'S BOOKS.

The second Time Pirates book "DINOSAURS OF DOOM!" is to be published later this year. Click on the cover for a sneak preview!
