5. Meg's Veg - Meg and Mog plant their vegetables, but will they grow? Meg's helpful spells have some surprising results
6. Mog at the Zoo - Would you mistake Mog for a tiger? The zookeepers did, and tried to catch him, but it wasn't as easy as they had thought!
7. Meg's Car - A car is all very well if you know how to drive it, but if you're Meg or Mog, in a hurry to go on a picnic, you really are safer on a broomstick.
8. Owl at School - Meg sends Owl to school for the first time, and he has some very unusual lessons
9. Mog in the Fog - Climbing up a mountain, Meg and Mog run into a thick fog, and then bump into something very strange.
10. Meg up the Creek - Meg, Mog and Owl go out in their canoe, but they can't find any supper so Meg makes a powerful spell and they get more than they bargained for!

The bestselling Meg and Mog stories are perfect for sharing or reading alone. Children will love exploring colours, sounds and shapes in the pictures and stories.

About the author

Helen Nicoll (born Natland, Westmorland 1937, died 2012). She was educated at schools in Bristol; Dartington Hall, Devon; and Froebel Education Institute, London. Helen was a television producer with the BBC for many years. It was here, as producer of the children's educational series Watch, that she first met Jan Pienkowski. After working together for four years, they decided it was time to preserve their creativity in book form for future generations of children to enjoy. The result is the immensely popular Meg and Mog series. Nicoll was married for 42 years to the interior designer and antique dealer Robert Kime, who survives her with their son and daughter.
