Reviews
Everyone who has ever had a pet will love this funny and charming story
Lovereading, pick of the month
From the iconic Michael Rosen and Tony Ross, here is a collection of black-and-white illustrated and super funny stories for children aged 5+. Each story has different characters and themes, but they are all equally funny and will help during the transitional phase from picture books to longer stories read independently. We think children will especially love these books’ characters, from genius bumblebees and farting fish to pasta-loving cats! If you love Humorous stories, this is the series for you, from two of our biggest and most treasured authors and illustrators, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’s Michael Rosen and Horrid Henry books’s Tony Ross.
