Lia's BLOP!

Available for delivery from 12th October.

A joyful story about self-discovery, and an introduction to onomatopoeia.  Endorsed by world leading linguist, Professor David Crystal, "Rhythm, rhyme, and a good story ...", and primary school teacher, Lucy Johnston, "A witty way to teach figurative language."

Croak the King Toad is having the noisiest birthday party Bufo Bridge has ever heard - and everyone is invited!

Cows moo. Horses neigh. Fireworks go BANG! SNAP! POP!

But Lia the snail has a problem ... she doesn't have a sound.

As the music builds and the party begins, Lia must decide whether to hide away - or discover a noise that is truly her own.

Warm, musical, and full of heart, Lia's BLOP! celebrates confidence, creativity, and the power of finding your voice.

For young readers; a joyful story about self-discovery, and it introduces them to onomatopoeia.

For language learners; a memorable introduction to onomatopoeia - the sound-words that bring English to life.

For teachers and parents; a beautifully illustrated book that works for read-aloud, classroom use, and quiet self-discovery (PSHE).
