FLANIMALS POP-UP
From the unique mind of comic master Ricky Gervais comes... 3-D Flanimals! The ghastly stars of a wildly popular book series are about to pop up everywhere. Theyre grotesque. Theyre absurd. Theyre so ugly theyre cute - and they could only be spawned by the mind of awardwinning comedian Ricky Gervais. From a planet far away, these bizarre and whimsical beasts from the ferocious airborne Bletchling to the badly behaved Grundit to the fatally timid Splunge - spring to life in the droll and off-thecuff prose of a writer who some may liken to a latter-day Edward Lear. Then again, some may find these grossly amusing creatures simply-gross. And whose fault is that? Just remember: dont pull a tab just because youve been told to!

MOONGIRL
Kindergarten-Grade 4Based on the awardwinning, animated short film of the same name, this picture book tells the story of Leon and his squirrel, Earl, on the night the moon goes dark. The boy and his pet are doing some night fishing on the bayou when they are whisked off by a giant fish made of stars that sends them crashing into the darkened moon. There Leon and Earl must save Moongirl and the orb itself from the gargaloon, a monster that hates moonlight and tries to keep it dark. The large cartoon illustrations carry the exciting plot, giving energy and a fantastical mood to the text, but they provide merely a taste of the films artistic animation. The package includes a DVD, which is a must as the book itself struggles to stand alone. List price Rs.1588.00 Hardback Our Price Rs.200.00 48 pages Postage Rs.50.00 extra
