N ew Titles & C omplete C atalogue

WELCOME TO OUR NEW CATALOGUE!

2026 is a big year for Nosy Crow – it’s our 15th anniversary! We’ll be celebrating in style with a brilliant range of new titles publishing this year; we’re so excited for you to leaf through these pages and explore them all. Making the year extra special, we’ll be championing the National Year of Reading with two titles, Inspire Me, a powerful collection of words that matter, curated by Nicolette Jones and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, and We’re Going on a Book Hunt, a fun-filled celebration of books and reading based on the popular nursery rhyme. We’re also adding some sparkle to World Book Day with a wonderful Unicorn Academy mini diary for fans of the hit Netflix series!

Hot on the heels of the sell-out success that was Fold-Out+Play:Doll’s House, we have a new title in the series, Fold-Out+Play:Farm. We’ll also be launching a frog-tastic new novelty series in 2026, FrogTown, from Alberto Lot, featuring plenty of sliders and a fabulous cast of characters. Excitingly, there’s a brand-new Bizzy Bear format to discover. We now have storybooks, starting with TractorTrouble and TheLostDinosaur! Capturing World Cup football fever, we have Where’sMrFootballer? from Ingela P Arrhenius, and ThePerfectMatch, a fun footballthemed reimagining of the Cinderella fairy tale by Chris Becker and Dan Taylor. New from Chris Naylor-Ballesteros we have a beautiful companion title to the award-winning TheSuitcase, in the form of a poignant and timely story of empathy, TheTeacup.

Our titles published in collaboration with the British Museum, the University of Cambridge and the National Trust bring a wealth of excitement, authority and creativity to our 2026 list. We’ll have a variety of titles publishing in time for the British Museum’s Bayeux Tapestry exhibition opening in September. From a graphic novel narrated by the comedic genius behind the MalloryVayleandMaggotySkull series, Martin Howard, to the brilliantly illustrated and fascinating MyBayeuxABC board book for the youngest of historians. As for all the aspiring scientists out there, ThisBookWillMakeYouaScientist, published in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, introduces 25 different scientific ideas from ground-breaking scientists with fun experiments to try. From the National Trust, we have RewildThisBook, the perfect (and biodegradable!) activity book for getting children out in nature.

We’re launching some captivating new Fiction series this year. We can’t wait for you to meet Bob and Archie, the hilarious, unlikely heroes of the new series KoalasinCapes from Terrie Chilvers, with their antics brought to life by black and white illustrations from David O’Connell. Then from the incredible David Solomons, we have a brand-new action-packed spy adventure series, Spyglass, kicking off with MastermindofMayhem. We’re delighted to invite readers to explore the colourful, creative world of JollyMonsterTown, the highly original new chapter book series from the incredible new talent, Rong Rong.

We hope you’ll enjoy exploring our exciting list for 2026, and that you and your customers will find plenty of new books to love. Thank you for your continued support and for joining us in celebrating our 15th anniversary

While she waits for news, she reflects on how much has changed: the café her parents used to run, the extra shifts her mum has to work and her sister’s ability to carry on regardless. There are rats in the attic, damp in the bathroom and they’ve run out of cornflakes. And the last time Luna saw her dad, she was mean to him. Did he lie about going to see Nan? Did he lie to Mum? And if he isn’t with Nan, where is he?

Eventually I went back to bed but my ears were twitching like antennae, waiting for Dad to come home. He didn’t. Instead, I heard the rats scrabbling in the attic and water gurgling through the pipes and the floorboards creaking as though a ghost was drifting through the house.
