Join Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam for adventures full of bravery and baking... Three hilarious and highly illustrated read-aloud stories following the hijinks and sleuthing of our favourite baker dogs!
These much-loved picture book pooches appear in a new black-and-white illustrated format, ideal for children growing in confidence as readers and beginning to read alone.
Halloween at St Spectre's school brings out the cheekiest of ghosts! And who is to blame when the weather goes crazy? A power-grabbing red panda, maybe? Certainly not the raccoon gang fixing the museum's toilets ... they've got dastardly plans of their own!
Brilliant stories hilariously told by Tracey Corderoy and beautifully brought to life by Steven Lenton's illustrations.
Look out for Shifty and Sam's other fiction adventures:
Tracey Corderoy (Author)
Tracey grew up in South Wales, on a council estate firmly sandwiched between the steel and chemical works.
She's a trained teacher, but now writes full-time in an old damp cottage in a valley in the woods. A multi award-winning author, her first book was published in 2010, and in October 2021, her 72nd.
Her passion for nosing into other people's 'stories' began in early childhood, thanks to an ancient set of encyclopaedias and a Ladybird copy of Cinderella.
Then one special teacher and many great librarians fed Tracey more and more books. Between their pages real magic started to happen. Impossible became plausible. Characters became friends. Boundaries became gates as slowly her world opened up. Books made her laugh, and cry, and think.
They made her feel that maybe she could do things...
