JELLY CAT

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.

Lambeth Lemming is huge on the design scene. A placement in Norway sparked a long-term love affair with minimalism, and she’s now built a loyal following as a chic interiors influencer. Think neutral palettes, cozy hygge, gentle candlelight... Fellow design enthusiast, White Owl, shares her styling approach, and the two regularly exchange mood boards and curtain swatches (by post – Lambeth insists it’s more romantic). Always two steps ahead on paint trends, Lambeth proves that less really is more – except when it comes to scented candles!

Lolly Sugar Glider is a certified bungee instructor, part-time thrill-seeker and full-time daredevil. In her mind, nothing beats the feeling of free-fall: velvety wings outstretched, fur ruffling in the breeze… She’s found a kindred spirit in Amuseables Peanut. Blink and there’s just an unspooling bungee cord in his place. (Lolly has to remind him that he is, in fact, a peanut – not a glider – and safety harnesses are non-negotiable…) Bashful Bunny’s already at the edge, paws poised. The question is: are you jumping too?

Birthdays, Mother’s Day, anniversaries – even Bartholomew’s debut as Bumble Hoops cheerleader (striped bee costume and all): if there’s an occasion, it’s on Amuseables Bouquet of Flowers’ radar. That said, she’s just as quick to notice the little things, right down to an extra dusting of cocoa on her latte. And when she does? She always finds a way to say thank you (preferably with petals).

Amuseables Burger knows the scene. With a soft bun and the chunkiest patty in town (gherkins, always), he’s been flipping out orders since the New York deli rivalry began. For years, it was all about competition: who had the better bread, the sharper cheese, the crispier edge. But lately, things have mellowed. He and Amuseables Bagel have even been spotted chatting over late-night coffee, swapping ideas – maybe even recipes… Nothing’s confirmed. But if a Bagel-Burger diner opens next spring, you didn’t hear it from him.

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.
