Michelle Robinson and Paddy Donnelly, Daddy's Footsteps

2024 / Library book / 32 pages

2015 / Paperback / 224 pages

Bargain-bin Parragon omnibus haphazardly collecting profiles, puzzles and stories like some meta Frankie Stein.


Unknown, Aimee Helps Santa

2023 / Library book / 32 pages

Thoughtful dementia discussion starter, whoever actually wrote it in the deceased author's name.


Unknown, My Little Pony Annuals 2008/09

2007/08 / Hardbacks / 128 pages
