Grimwood: Five Freakishly Funny Fables: World Book Day 2022
About this book
A special World Book Day adventure in the wildly funny new series from award-winning Nadia Shireen.
Perfect for readers age 7 to 107, fans of Dog Man, Roald Dahl, Mr Gum, Loki and David Walliams, and anyone who loves to laugh. Welcome to Grimwood! Join the residents of the woods where anything can happen, as they tell stories around the campfire. You'll hear weird and wonderful tales from Titus the stag, mayor of Grimwood, Nancy the fox with attitude, Willow the excitable rabbit, Frank the no-nonsense owl, and Ingrid the movie-star duck. Expect the unexpected, and be warned: you may laugh your head off... For another freakishly funny tale with the same cast of cracking animal characters, check out Grimwood, the first book in Nadia Shireen's bestselling, outrageously comical, fully illustrated series for humans (both young and old at heart).?
