Books Included in This Collection:
Spooky Night!
Princess Rosie is awakened by a very strange noise, and with her best friend Ollie by her side, she wanders through the royal castle in search of the source. The night-time setting invites young readers to nibble away at fear and curiosity, turning a simple investigation into a friendly, brave expedition. Vibrant illustrations, clear text, and a gentle suspense build a confidence-boosting reading moment that feels safe, playful, and perfectly pitched for emerging readers. Rosie’s curiosity shines, and readers join in on the hunt until the mystery is delightfully resolved.

Where's Gilbert?
Rosie the Not-so-Little Princess cherishes Gilbert, her teddy bear, but feels a little too grown-up to keep playing with him. When Gilbert goes missing, Rosie embarks on a warm, whimsical quest that frames loyalty, problem-solving, and the comfort of a steadfast friend. The story reassures children that the things we outgrow can still hold a place in our hearts, while new adventures open up. With gentle tension, playful pacing, and comforting illustrations, this tale reinforces resilience and the value of companionship in the early reader journey.
