Q Pootle 5 in Space!

by

Illustrator: Nick Butterworth

Q Pootle 5 and his friend Oopsy are in a hurry – they are being chased by three very hungry bladder monsters and badly need the help of their big friend Dave.

The action in Nick Butterworth’s attractive pictures is set against the starry velvety backdrop of space; and the slightly scary story is comfortingly resolved through the power of friendship, with the conversion of the threatening monsters into harmless balloons.

An excellent story for a nervous small person, or one who likes to be (a little bit) frightened.
