JELLY CAT

Mustard and thrills. Amuseables Hotdog’s dream combo. A fairground fiend, he’s first in line for every ride, from spinning teacups to the loop-de-loop (even if his bun gets a little windblown). The louder the screams, the bigger his grin – though he does insist on holding someone’s hand at the top. Safety, after all, is key. Catch him by the candyfloss stand, plotting his next rollercoaster run. And yes – he’s got a season pass.

Amuseables Sports Tennis Ball is never off-duty. When he’s not on court, he’s in the booth, offering running commentary with American cousin Baseball, who favors stats over storytelling (to Tennis Ball’s dismay). He’s sharp-eyed, fast-talking, and prone to slow-mo replays of his own serve. Pickleball says it’s a habit. He calls it analysis. They first met during a transatlantic rally and still train together most mornings – provided the mics are off! Got a sporting opinion? He’s got a mic, and time for your take.

Moles love to DIG and DIG and DIG for treasure! And when they find treasure, they ALWAYS share it. One day, Muswell Mole finds the most beautiful piece of treasure he’s ever seen… a shiny, golden acorn. It’s so beautiful, he decides to keep it all for himself. Will Muswell put things right and learn to share? A quirky story about honesty and kindness, with a large lift-the-flap finale.

Odell loves being an octopus, spinning and swishing through the ocean with her eight arms waving. But why are those fish staring? Do her eight arms make her look odd? Most other creatures have just two. Join Odell Octopus and her friend Odyssey on a journey of discovery about loving what makes you… YOU! A funny and vibrant picture book about self-acceptance and celebrating what makes each of us unique.

Allexi Alligator is head chef at Gator’s Gap: a celebrated (and entirely meat-free) diner nestled in the Louisiana marshland. Renowned for his tofu chowder and okra gumbo, Allexi gives classic Southern staples a veggie twist – and takes pride in feeding just about everyone who wanders into his swamp. Even Amuseables Peanut, who, wildly off-route, found himself in need of some sustenance after gator-frogging across the Gap, got a warm Southern welcome. (Allexi didn’t charge him a dime. After all, it’s not often someone cartwheels through the mid-lunch service!)

By day, Hopscone Luxe Bunny is rarely spotted. By night, she’s the voice of Luxe FM: spinning hophip dance tracks and providing the odd weather update (usually a guess). With mottled fur, a mellow voice, and a growing fanbase – including Bartholomew Bear, who swears her playlists give him stage presence – she’s a natural on the mic. Her cousin Bashful Bunny is a regular listener, though she admits the late-night air horn segment takes some getting used to… Any requests? She’s live from 9. Velvet ears perked, volume up!
