The Baby that Roared Summary

The Baby that Roared by Simon Puttock

A hilarious and quirky picture book full of appealing animal characters, written by renowned author Simon Puttock and with artwork by highly acclaimed illustrator Nadia Shireen, creator of Bumblebear and Billy and the Beast.

Mr. and Mrs. Deer would love a baby, and one day they find a little antlered bundle on the doorstep. Mrs. Deer thinks their wish has come true; Mr. Deer thinks that the baby is very, very peculiar.

When the baby won't stop roaring, they ask advice from family and friends but it takes wise old Granny Bear to spot the problem: the baby's not a baby - it's a little monster. A very greedy little monster at that . . . and why have all their friends mysteriously disappeared?

The perfect laugh-out-loud bedtime story for children aged 3-6.
