Pippa's Night Parade

Description

Age range 3 to 6 Pippa's wonderfully wild imagination is perfect for dreaming up wildly adorable creations. But at night, her imagination runs a little too wild. That's when the villains and monsters and beasts sneak out of her storybooks to scare her. Pippa tries everything: from night-lights to triple knots to clever disguises. But when the baddies keep coming, she realises she'll need to come up with something new. To prepare for this battle, Pippa will have to use everything she's got - especially that wild imagination. Ready or not, here she comes! 'A delicious triumph over fear of night creatures.' - Kirkus Reviews
