Let Sleeping Sea-Monsters Lie

Age 10 +

Synopsis

Gasp, giggle and shriek at five witty and wise cautionary tales for middle-grade readers and up from classic children's author Eva Ibbotson, illustrated by Becka Moor - perfect for fans of Roald Dahl and Diana Wynne Jones . . .

Are you brave enough to find out what happens when a spoilt girl is spiteful to a giant hungry worm?

Can you bear to watch a (very silly) boy poke an angry sleeping sea-monster?

Do you dare to discover why should you never, ever steal milk from a Frid?*

Beware: Naughty children always get their just deserts . . .

Including a foreword by legendary Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo.

*A dog-munching rock. Doesn't everyone know that?
