Join Ellie and Lump - two toddler elephants - on their very busy (very noisy) day! In this big-hearted and bouncy read-aloud story about a special day in the life of two adorable elephants, Ellie and Lump are bubbling with energy from the moment they wake up - they're just ready to explode! There's a lot to do: boing-boing-bouncing on beds, split-splatting eggs for breakfast, whizz-whooshing around on supermarket trollies and blowing up balloons. They're planning a big birthday surprise ... but who is it for? Illustrator Becky Palmer captures the joy and excitement of a day out with mum and the thrills of planning a party, while the read-aloud text with wonderfully rhythmical sound effects makes this a fizzy first reading experience perfect for sharing with toddlers. With its surprise party finale, will be a brilliant birthday gift purchase for pre-schoolers! Full of rhythm and read-aloud sound effects, this first reading experience has all the bounce and cheer of Helen Oxenbury's classic baby board books, and encourages little ones to join in. A debut to our list from the 2013 Sebastian Walker prize winner Becky Palmer, whose illustrations are full of charm and joy.

He grew up in the late sixties and early seventies in Manchester, England, and lived in a rough neighborhood where, he writes, Prostitutes worked the pavement opposite my home, illegal bookmakers took bets in backalley cellars, and street brawls were commonplace.
