Ellie's magic wellies - Amy Sparkes

A fantastic rhyming picture book story from Roald Dahl Prize award-winning Amy Sparkes and the illustrator behind the hugely successfulGoodnight series for children, includingGoodnight TractorandGoodnight Spaceman.

Ellie Pengelly is fed up and bored, until she gets a pair of MAGICAL new wellies!

When Ellie goes out to explore in her new wellies she jumps into a puddle but
something jumps out!

When the strange Flibberty-Gibberty starts juggling with jam, guzzling and gobbling food and squeezling toothpaste he makes quite a mess! Will Ellie manage to clean up all the mess before mum gets home?

Action-packed storytelling is perfectly paired with Nick East's high-energy illustrations in this fantastic picture book that fizzes and whizzes with fun! Children will love the Flibberty-Gibberty-a wonderful character who is similar to Dr Seuss'sCat in the Hatand the Psammead fromFive Children and It- and the rollicking, rhyming text is perfect for reading aloud and ideal for children 3 years of age and up.
