Book Synopsis

I am a book. And I want to beat you! Think you can beat me? First, you’ll have to complete my ridiculous, ludicrous, yet absolutely hilarious challenges.

New Zealand has the longest place name in the word. Can you say: Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaunga horonukupokaiwhenuakitnatahu quicker than me?
Here are some more of my extra-silly challenges:

  • Can you point to your spine?
    • What about my spine?
  • Can you make the tiniest whisper ever?
  • Can you make the noise an otter makes?
  • Can you do an impression of a goldfish by holding your breath?
    • They can go for five months without oxygen!

An engaging, entertaining book designed to be played with, packed with clever facts and comic genius. Gemma Correll’s funny comic-style illustrations bring the character of the Book to life and make for a fresh and exciting read.
