It’s Timmy Turtle’s birthday, and his friends have got him some really thoughtful gifts. With Timmy’s *slightly* pessimistic nature, will he manage to be grateful? Celebrate being perfectly grumpy, with our beloved and relatable frown-faced friend. The perfect book for the grouchy grumps among us, who can’t help but share in a little joy…sometimes.
All the pups are so different! Betty’s the tidiest, Otto’s the smartest, Tilly’s the fastest… but what about Munro? When energetic Cooper Doodle goes missing one afternoon, the pups are all very worried. Where could he have run off to? And who will brave the rain and snow to find him?
Amuseables Horatio Pistachio comes from a fine family. He’ll tell you (politely!) that pistachios are technically seeds, not nuts, and that his lineage traces back to an orchard in southern Italy. Despite the grand name, Horatio’s always been shy – until a craft chocolate course helped him come out of his shell. Now, whether hand-rolling truffles to pouring viral Dubai-style slabs, he’s happiest in the kitchen: sticky, smiling, and confident. He’s brought you a batch to try. Be kind – he’s still learning to temper!
Amuseables Latte opens the café doors at eight o’clock on the dot – and not a minute later! A brilliant barista, she runs the counter like clockwork – one eye on the steamer, one on the regulars – and is renowned for her smooth service. Customers adore her. Her latte art is the stuff of legends. She even got a smile out of Ricky Rain Frog, after recreating his new rubber ring in micro-foam form…Soft, layered, and topped with fluffy whipped cream, she’s got your morning covered.
Ever since making her debut at the Jellycat Fish & Chips Experience, Amuseables Michelle Mussel has been the name on everyone’s lips. With her camera-ready shell and a natural gift for acting, she’s become the star of the season. Not that she’s fazed. Michelle’s from a Cornish rock pool, after all, and still goes back every weekend – press permitting! Fame’s great and all, but family comes first. Nothing beats cream tea and a catch-up with cousins. (And for the record – it’s jam first. Always!)
Amuseables Sardine Tin is a master of efficiency. As part-time logistics manager at Swinley Boar’s Boar Store, he’s in charge of inventory, crate-stacking, and ensuring all supplies are tinned, tagged, and bagged for action. He’s got a spreadsheet for everything (organized by brine level, of course) and although some think meticulous efficiency might be boring, he’s surprisingly good company once he opens up. Never ask what’s in tin number four, though… He’s sworn to secrecy!
