Carlton’s Children’s Books
Innovative books packed with facts, fun and surprises! Carlton’s children’s books set the benchmark for fresh and interactive children’s publishing. Early 2009 saw the release of a madcap adventure from two much-loved characters, Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Adventures & Glorious Inventions.

Our brilliant Autumn 2009 list includes more of the best in quality children’s publishing: the whimsical and beautifully produced Magical Horses, perfect for young horse-lovers; the villain-busting Big Book of Baddies; the sublimely dark and exciting Dracula along with some of Carlton’s unique interpretations of classic stories such as A Christmas Carol.
