A charming and heart-warming story from Giles Andreae, creator of Purple Ronnie and Edward Monkton.

The Dance of Wallowy Bigness

There was once a hippopotamus who dreamed of being able to dance with GRACE and BEAUTY. However, when she tried, she could barely lift her BOTTOM off the ground and her stomach WOBBLED most uncomfortably indeed. "Come now," said a passing crocodile. "Perhaps you are simply trying the WRONG dance. What kind of dance would be YOUR dance . . . and YOUR dance ONLY?" And so begins a story about being BEAUTIFUL INSIDE - a joyous little treasure for the whole family to share. World of Happy ... because life is FUN!

Giles Andreae's World of Happy series is more joyful and anarchic than anything you have ever read before. The Dance of Wallowy Bigness contains the same playful, quirky sense of humour that made Purple Ronnie and Edward Monkton global brands.
