Illustrated by the bestselling creator of Hugless Douglas and written by the author of Mona the Vampire.
The Totally Terrifying Three consist of a big fat cumbersome fire breathing dragon, a stumpy grumpy little wicked witch and a stubbly GIANT in a sharp suit. All three think they are ever so terrifying and scare themselves to bits assuming they will have the same effect on the everyday folk! An entertaining read for pre-schoolers everywhere. If this text was a witches cauldron, it would have a pinch of rhyme, a sprinkle of interaction, an smattering of repetition and a big spoonful of humour!'A fun story to share with toddlers that bears repeated reading!'
