A truly exciting new book from John Burningham, in the grand tradition of MR GUMPY'S OUTING, with a wonderfully cosy ending

Reviews

"A delicate echo of Burningham's much-loved Mr Gumpy's Outing" -- Julia Eccleshare Guardian "The book invites children to identify the characters, and to point to them and to lost objects. The drawings carry their sophisticated skill lightly. An ideal step forwards from board books" -- Nicolette Jones Children's Book of the Week, The Sunday Times
