Paws Off My Book

A charming picture book about the joy of reading and finding your own way.

Olaf the Giraffe is excited when he finds a book.

"I LOVE books!" he chuckles, and starts to have a look. But his friends have their own ideas on how to read: lying down like a crocodile, standing on one leg like a flamingo, and even hanging upside down like a monkey!

What's a gentle giraffe to do?

“Fruit-salad colours that pop off the page make this picture flat really eye-catching. The silly animals are sure to get a laugh from little book lovers.”
