It was a dream to write two Sherlock Holmes’ puzzle books for @Arcturusbooks, including a visit to the Sherlock Holmes museum for research! Step back in time and enjoy some super-sleuthing! Great working with Violet Peto, and thanks Alex Paterson for your wonderful illustrations.

Excited to author this World Explorer Activity Pack, from @MilesKellyPub . It contains a fill-in activity book with puzzles, colour-ins and fun facts; game cards and a world map floor puzzle! Great working with Amy Johnson & thanks Berta Maluenda for your wonderful illustrations.

Very proud of these books I wrote with @WelbeckKids. Each book is a journal that children can fill in, and is packed with activities, quotes and tips for wellbeing. A huge thanks to Jenni Lazell, Sarah Davis, and Jessica Smith for her wonderful illustrations.

Didn’t see many birds for the #BigGardenBirdwatch, but then five minutes before the hour was up, a beautiful bird I’d never seen before landed in my garden… a redwing! Was overjoyed.

[Catherine Veitch @mystripeysocks]

@CressidaCowell My copy has arrived! #WizardsofOnce is a fantastic series :)

[Catherine Veitch @mystripeysocks]

My ‘Forest Tales’ book has hit the shops! Fifteen stories about forest animals around the world. Underlying each story is a simple message about the importance of forest ecosystems to our planet. Thanks @MilesKellyPub and Belinda Gallagher, who found some remarkable illustrators.

[Catherine Veitch @mystripeysocks]

Another thrilling book in this fantastic series. Can't wait for the next one...

Wow, I remember 'A Child's Garden Verse' by RL Stevenson (I still have my copy!) and The Cow poem - I had to memorise the poem for a school assembly! Great illustration by Roger Duvoisin.

[Catherine Veitch @mystripeysocks]

Loved every minute of writing these seven Dinosaur Adventures picture books. Thanks everyone @MilesKellyPub for being a super company to work for.

Some intensive puzzle brainbusting went into this Bond: Word Puzzles book, and I loved every minute of inventing over 100 brain challenges for 8-11 year-olds! Thanks @OUPPrimary.
