Uncle Shawn and Bill and the Not One Tiny Bit Lovey-Dovey Moon Adventure

Description

The third book in a hilarious, heart-warming series for children from Costa Award-winning author A.L. Kennedy, illustrated by celebrated cartoonist Gemma Correll. Uncle Shawn and his best friend Badger Bill are back for another brilliantly bonkers adventure. They've seen off the nasty Dr P'Klawz with the help of their trusty llama pals, and now everything on their farm up on the sunny side of Scotland is just about perfect. Apart from the moon needing rescuing and a suspicious lady badger setting her sights on Bill... What could possibly go wrong?

"From daft made-up words to scenes of surreal silliness straight out of a Terry Gilliam animation, the book has a sense of freewheeling fun here that's hard to resist." * Financial Times * "This is exuberant silliness with substance and style, and with boldly drawn comic images by Gemma Correll." * The Sunday Times *
