From the first reading I was completely bowled over by this book. A blast of sunshiny goodness brimming with gorgeous witty illustrations, well designed page layouts, a fabulously funny story and a larger than life heroine bursting from the pages with her joyous imagination.

Poppy Pickle is a little girl with a big imagination living with her ordinary family. When sent upstairs to tidy her room she discovers her imagination comes to life with a ‘pop’ and soon she is surrounded by lots of funny creatures including a monocle wearing mammoth, a crablo picasso and a hungry crocodile. It turns out letting your imagination run away with you can lead to trouble. With a hungry crocodile & two angry parents to cope with will Poppy have a happy ending?

While Freya was a little worried about Poppy’s parents reaction to the chaos her imagination caused Bryn couldn’t stop laughing at Poppy’s imaginative creatures. A book we will enjoying reading again & again.
