Welcome to the Have A Great Spray waterpark! There's slides, rides
and fried ice cream, but that's not the real attraction . . . Meet
Flamingo, Cactus, Donut and Watermelon - four inflatable pool
floats who live in an almost-forgotten pool next to the
Lost-and-Found office. They may have been left behind by their
original owners, but that hasn't stopped them becoming firm (well
actually quite squashy) friends. And of course there's Lynn too,
the traditional blue Lilo who has been floating around since the
park opened. She's been there, done that and got the puncture. But
things don't always go to plan when you're filled with air and live
in a park packed with pointy things. From Walter S. Lide - the
ruthless park owner - to Claws and Paws, the park's stray cats,
everyone is out to burst their bubble. With each day bringing a
fresh wave of drama, life with the inflatables is always guaranteed
to BLOW UP! Featuring TWO stories: Bad Air Day and Mission
Un-poppable. A funny, sunny, splash-tastic new series for readers
6+, featuring a gang of loveable pool floats! Perfect for fans of
The Bad Guys, Bad Kitty, Spongebob and Toy Story. "A pun-tastic,
abundantly silly graphic novel for 6+." The Guardian
On a trip to the pool Bluey and Dad tease Mum about being fussy and
over-prepared, but they soon realise that's what makes the fun
things possible. Fans of Bluey will love this thick, 24 page board
book, and is a perfect bedtime story! Also available: Bluey: At the
