It's raining, it's pouring. And Daddy is snoring. Mummy is working. Oh, EVERYTHING'S BORING. What can Ruby Roo do on a rainy day? Use her imagination! This jaunty, thrilling rhyming text sees these two intrepid explorers jet off to the jungle in their cardboard seaplane, and swing through the exotic pot plant canopy . . . encountering some strangely familiar characters on their way! Packed with humour, colour and adventure - and with tons of 'clues' for children to spot - this is the latest picture book sensation from Pip Jones and superstar illustrator, Laura Hughes.
