From the author of best-selling Oi Frog! comes an absurdly funny and heartwarming lift-the-flap picture book about two giraffe friends, who are out on a walk together. Meet Torla, the taller-than-average giraffe, and Smorla, who’s… well, smaller than average. Right at the very beginning of their walk, Torla’s longer-than-average neck gets stuck in a very stubborn cloud. These loveable giraffes have to work together, with Smorla guiding Torla past some very funny obstacles… Featuring three lazy lions, two bingo-playing hippos, a silly sunbathing elephant and more, this book is full of uproarious deadpan humor that will have kids and grown-ups giggling as they turn the pages. This is the first book in a new laugh-out-loud series by Kes Gray, with bright, humorous drawings from award-winning illustrator Chris Jevons. As well as being a very amusing read, The Lower than Average Cloud teaches children the importance of being considerate and helpful to others, as Smorla helps her friend Torla out of a difficult situation. At times whimsical, at others hilarious, Kes Gray's Torla and Smorla series will tickle children and adults alike with its quirky observations and uplifting portrayal of enduring friendship.
