To write one children’s classic is excellent, but to produce an entire series puts Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler in the company of Milne and Blyton.

Here are the Highway Rat and Tabby McTat, and the Scarecrows in love, Stick Man trying to get back to his family tree, and Superworm and Tiddler and Zog, all different, all wonderful, already classics, and in all-new editions.

Superworm is super-long.

Superworm is super-strong.

Watch him wiggle! See him squirm!

Hip, hip, hooray for SUPERWORM!

Never fear, Superworm's here!

He can fish Beetle out of a well, and rescue Toad from a busy road.

But who will come to Superworm's rescue, when he's captured by a wicked Wizard Lizard?

Luckily, all of Superworm's insect friends have a cunning plan...
