Quirky, imaginative, delightfully different, this picture book contains a story all kids, little and big, can and will relate to.

Just exactly who is Mr Pancakes and where is he going? Why is Wally going to the Kitty Kat Palace and just precisely who is going to look after, Barry, Harry and Steggles?

In this wildly delightful explosion of imagination we are introduced to a little girl called Bee who is getting ready to go on a family holiday. She is organising all the things that need to be done, after she’s had her breakfast, before they leave to go to the island over the sea.

 

She allows us to join in with her very quirky view of the holiday, the creatures she meets on the way and her joy at being in one of her favourite places.

Fantastically quirky illustrations, some by genuine little girls and boys, help us along the journey and bring us safely home again with the wonderful words “it’s like starting the world all over again”.
