Supertato: Bubbly Troubly

Product Information

The much-loved character from Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet, the bestselling, award-winning creators of Barry the Fish with Fingers, I Need a Wee and Norman the Slug with the Silly Shell.

This was a really fun family read. It followed the typical Supertato formula well: veggies having a good time which is ruined by the dastardly Evil Pea and then the veggies working as a team to solve the problem led by the infamous Supertato. It’s cheerful and colourful and features some fun word play that my husband and I really enjoyed. We used to spend a week in my early years classroom reading the Supertato stories and engaging in related learning opportunities around the classroom and they were always so popular. The children loved creating Supertato and his veggie friends using vegetables to act out these stories! Fans of Barry, Norman and Keith will absolutely adore this new wonderfully eccentric new character' Mumsnet

Sue Hendra grew up in Wimbledon and has always loved making up stories and drawing pictures. Her favourite book as a child was Mr Silly. She graduated from Brighton University in 1994 and has been creating picture books ever since. In 2006 she met Paul Linnet and could instantly see that she’d met a fellow nitwit who liked talking nonsense. They went on to create many bestselling books together, working in a small room in their house in Brighton. Sue loves swimming, and can swim up and down for a very long time. Her favourite book is still Mr Silly. It is night-time in the supermarket, and it's the veggies' weekly bath. But...what's this? SOMEONE has been meddling with the bubble bath and that can only lead to one thing: BUBBLY TROUBLY! Meet Supertato! He's always there for you when the chips are down. He's the supermarket superhero with eyes everywhere - but now there's a pea on the loose. A very, very naughty pea. Has Supertato finally met his match?

I have to say that, given this takes place in a supermarket…. I was a bit weirded out. I mean I don’t want my veggies (and fruits) to be alive. Talk and take baths. And apparently veggies aren’t the only ones alive. Um…. OK. I can work with this. I think. Haha. Just let my imagination go and not think about the details. 😛
