Pip Jones lives in East London with her partner, her two daughters and a real invisible cat. She writes a lot. She is the author of four other Squishy McFluff books, several picture books (including Daddy's Sandwich, The Chocolate Monster and Quick, Barney, Run!) and her new series Piggy Handsome.
Rhythmic, rhyming text, which is as funny as it is clever, will delight youngsters ready to move from picture books to more complex stories. Ava and Squishy's adventures are fun, engaging and a great way to enjoy a shared story and to encourage the first steps towards independent reading
