BESTSELLER "A great story about making friends by being yourself
and the illustrations are a constant visual delight" Malorie
Blackman Gustavo is a ghost. He is good at doing all sorts of
paranormal things, like walking through walls, making objects fly
and glowing in the dark. And he loves playing beautiful music on
his violin. But Gustavo also has a problem. He is SHY. Which means
some things are harder for him to do, like getting in a line to buy
eye-scream or talking to the other monsters. But Gustavo longs to
be a part of something, he longs to be seen. More than anything, he
wants to make a friend. So, plucking up all his courage, he sends a
very special letter: "Dear Monsters, I would like to invite you to
my violin concert at the Day of the Dead party..." With exquisite
detail and humour, Flavia Z. Drago's vivid illustrations tell a
sweet and offbeat story of friendship and courage.
It's Friday and that means it's party time in robot town. Benny and
his friends decide they need a bit more 'robot dancing' practice
before the big night. They bounce and boogie, jump and twirl then
disaster strikes when they tumble into a huge sinkhole and come
face to face with a large angry dinosaur, who is not happy about
being woken up. Will Benny have to press his 'Emergency Button'?
Can they escape being crushed and eaten by the dinosaur? Will they
make it back in time for the party? The third book in the
award-winning picture book series. Benny and his robot friends are
back with a fantastic new adventure and this time there is a very
unhappy dinosaur to contend with. With beautiful retro-style
illustrations by award-winning illustrator Chloe Holwill-Hunter,
this is a story about friendship, working together, coping with
problems and the uniqueness of us all as individuals. Along with
this wonderful picture book, you can download the specially-written
song and an audio book of the story.
