A delightful board book for toddlers and adults to have fun experimenting with words to create funny new ones.
With illustrations drawn from a toddlers world, babies and young children will recognise each activity-getting dressed, playing, painting (including themselves), having a bath, using the potty-and see how the animal makes the mischievous most of it. The bumblebee breaks its toy-bumblebee grumblebee! The cockatoo is getting dressed-cockatoo sockatoo! The pelican tries out the potty-pelican smellican! What will turtle do? Everybody gathers for the final squirtle. Built for adults, babies and toddlers to share and read aloud, this fresh and sweet board book encourages experimentation with words and sounds, just by changing a letter or two.
Playful animals get up to everyday toddler mischief in this board book built on child-based wordplay, where each page twists animal names into funny new words that are fun to share.

Once upon a time, hidden deep in a valley in a magical land far away, there was a very tall tower. And trapped at the very top of that very tall tower there was a damsel in distress! The only problem is... the damsel is not in distress. She keeps telling the narrator that she's perfectly fine. The "terrifying beasts" in the moat are a family of ducklings. The "prickly brambles" are her rose garden. And the "wicked old witch" is actually her grandma! But the narrator just won't listen. When a scary, fire-breathing dragon comes to visit, it's up to the damsel to take charge of her story and save the day for everyone...
Characterful illustrations transport readers to the magical world of the damsel's kingdom, and easy to read text is perfect for young readers.
