A Sarah Odedina Book 🐊
OMGosh! I don't think Mrs Golightly looks very happy on this cover, but the cover itself is GORGEOUS!!
She might be a bit grumpy at the beginning of the story but you really have to read this one to see what's going on with all those animals.
You'll love it! 🐾
A fantastic story from Susie Bower, author of School for Nobodies, The Three Impossibles & The Dangerous Life of Ophelia Bottom (all 100% recommended).
This is her début picture book & has superb illustrations by Francesca Gambatesa that bring the fun story to life with a joyful, original style & gorgeous colour palette.
Have you ever met anyone who doesn't like animals? Well, it seems Mrs Golightly is just looking for some quiet time but...
a ZOO moved in next door.
Can you imagine someone who doesn't want to visit or play with or even see animals?
Animals are cute, fluffy & fun, aren't they? Doesn't everyone love them?
BUT have you ever seen llamas in pyjamas INSIDE a house or a giraffe in the bath wearing a shower cap?
Just about anything you can imagine might happen in this story.
How about an alligator on your radiator? Or a polar bear in your chair?
Or a kangaroo on your loo?
A croc' wearing your socks? Oh my goodness!
The animals dance outside in her garden & it doesn't look like they're going away any time soon. How will Mrs G manage?
Poor Mrs Golightly, she really isn't happy with the visitors who all invited themselves into her house!
There's so much to look at & talk about in this story.
There's even a surprising twist that will make you smile & maybe Mrs Golightly will be happy too.
This would be perfect as a read-aloud book in a group, a club, a library or at home. Everywhere!
It has been very popular as a featured gift for younger siblings of our reading MiniClub members.
We look forward to more books for children of all ages from Susie Bower & Francesca Gambatesa.
