At Ivy Kids…

We love to create. So we are pleased to present a beautiful new fill-in book containing 365 unique activities to scribble and sketch, to make your very own book: A Year in My Life.

We love to play. That’s why we’ve developed a brand new doodle design activity book— Make Buildings—packed with ideas for imagining and drawing fantastic houses and buildings.

In Build! A Knight’s Castle, kids can press out and make their very own paper model siege castle and battle scene while learning all about the medieval era.

We love to learn. Discover ten of Shakespeare’s most popular works in Where’s Will?, and find William Shakespeare hidden in beautifully drawn versions of his plays. Insects in 30 Seconds and Weather in 30 Seconds are the latest additions to the growing 30 Seconds series, combining hard working visuals with informative and expert text. We also have a new title from Clive Gifford, author of the award-winning Eye Benders. Brain Twisters teaches you how your brain works through fun and brain-twisting illustrations and text.

We love to do. We know you do too! We have a beautiful and innovative new format for activity books—Cut and Color Playbooks let you color, draw and then cut away to reveal different scenes. The first title is all about seasons, with two follow-on titles exploring journeys and cities. Paper Pets contains 10 cute and quirky paper pet models (along with their accessories) to pop-out, make, and keep.

We love to dream. And we want to inspire you as well, especially to make positive changes in your school, in your family, and in the world! Be the Change, Make it Happen presents 80 big and small ways you can make a difference, from kindness activist Bernadette Russell.

We know you love these things too, and we can’t wait to show you our books.

See if you spot a cheeky little pig hiding from his Mum on the next page.

Setting: Illyria

Set in a fantasy kingdom called Illyria, Twelfth Night is one of Shakespeare’s great comedies. Shakespeare often wrote about the confusion caused by people dressed-up in disguise. In Twelfth Night, a woman called Viola, dresses as a man.

A countess called Olivia, falls in love with her thinking she is a man! There is even more confusion because Viola has a twin brother, who she thinks is dead, but who is alive.

However, by the end of the play, all the secrets are revealed and two couples marry!

nbeknown to Viola, her twin Sebastian did survive the shipwreck. When he arrives in Illyria and meets Olivia, she thinks he is Cesario (as the twins look very alike) and asks him to marry her. Sebastian is confused, but agrees. Meanwhile, Malvolio’s strange behaviour makes Olivia think he is crazy, and the others lock him up in a dark room.

O

rsino, Duke of Illyria, is in love with the beautiful Lady Olivia – but she is still in mourning for her brother’s death, and is not interested. While Orsino pines away in his palace, a ship is wrecked in a storm at the coast nearby.

Antonio

The Priest

A

ntonio, a sailor who rescued Sebastian from the sea, is arrested for an old crime.

He sees “Cesario”, thinks “he” is Sebastian, and begs him to give back a bag of money he lent him. Still disguised as Cesario, Viola says she doesn’t know Antonio, but realises Sebastian must have survived the shipwreck.

young lady named Viola survives the shipwreck, but cannot find her twin brother Sebastian, and thinks he is dead. When she hears about Orsino and Olivia, she disguises herself as a boy named Cesario, and goes to work as a pageboy at Orsino’s palace.

t Olivia’s house, her lazy uncle Sir Toby Belch and his friend Sir Andrew Aguecheek, along with her clown Feste and lady-in-waiting Maria, tease the pompous butler Malvolio. Knowing him to be in love with Olivia, they fake love letters from her telling him to wear his yellow stockings as a secret love signal.

F

inally, everyone meets up at Olivia’s house: Sebastian and Viola are reunited, and Viola reveals that she is really a woman. The mix-ups are all sorted out, Malvolio is released, and Orsino realises he loves Viola, not Olivia.

He marries her while Olivia ends up with Sebastian, and everyone (except Malvolio) is happy.
