Our second Squishy McFluff picture book sees Ava and her invisible cat go camping. Ava is off on her first camping holiday! And of course Squishy will come too . . . But when Ava repacks Dad's bags with FUN camping accessories like her teddy, she forgets to include . . . the TENT! Luckily Idris and his puppy Farida are staying at the same campsite and they are expert camp builders. But when Idris explains his puppy is the best and he says he can't SEE Squishy, Ava decides to introduce him to a giant invisible . . . BEAR?! Pip Jones's joshing humour and pacy rhyme is full of charm, and beautifully reflects those competitive conversations we all know so well. With a happy ending, and a new friendship gained, this story is sure to win hearts and inspire camping holidays!
