A lovestruck merpig, a peppermint-stick Parthenon, a vegetarian spider and so much more!
From R.A. Spratt, bestselling author of Friday Barnes and Shockingly Good Stories, comes this collection of twenty terrific tales perfect for fans of Roald Dahl, David Walliams and Paul Jennings.
Featuring Greek myths and fractured fairytales as told by Nanny Piggins (the world’s most glamorous flying pig), a mystery investigated by Friday Barnes (girl detective) and a series of tales so tall they will give you altitude sickness.
This book will delight children from four to one hundred and four. Just the thing for reading at bedtime, when you’re supposed to be doing your homework or when you’ve been chased up a tree by an escaped rhinoceros and you’re waiting for the zookeeper to arrive.
Astonishingly Good Stories is the perfect book for those day-dreamers who are always on the hunt for fun and imaginative stories. This collection features twenty different short stories that each explore whacky characters and exciting adventures.
Spratt is a master storyteller, and this collection is the perfect showcase of her witty writing. While it features characters from her other series’ like Friday Barnes and Nanny Piggins, there are also plenty of original characters and stories here to pique your interest.
As Spratt puts it, “The world is in desperate need of silliness and outrageous fabrications – I have written this book to serve that purpose. Now it is your job to read it. So gather your children around you and take them on a journey to a world of imagination. I hope you enjoy the adventure.”
Perfect for ages 4+, Astonishingly Good Stories is a hilarious collection of short stories that you are sure to turn to time and time again.
