It All Began When I Said Yes
No. of pages 32
Sometimes saying yes is a brilliant thing. You can meet new people, discover amazing things, and go on exciting adventures . . . but not always.
When a gorilla named Gideon shows up at your house with lots of questions and some preeeeeetty bonkers requests, perhaps "yes" will lead to trouble, trouble, and maybe just a touch more trouble. One thing's for sure - it definitely won't be boring!
From the author of You Must Bring a Hat (winner of the Sainsbury's CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2016) and I Don't Know What to Call My Cat, comes a story which will have both parents and children laughing out loud!
Praise for You Must Bring a Hat:
'This glorious cumulative story sees the requirements for entry growing ever more stringent - and the list of party-goers ever longer. It builds to a superb and wholly unexpected ending which will delight young readers. Wonderful!' Parents in Touch
