Make story time fun with our brand new, funny hand puppet storybooks.

From an excitable croc who loves to SNAP, SNAP, SNAP and a tired shark that cannot go to sleep to a burpy bear who needs to learn good manners and a fussy lion who's afraid of trying new things, the reader is encouraged to act out each story with the hand puppet, and there are lots noisy words to shout out for plenty of read-aloud fun too!

The soft, plush hand puppet fits both big and little hands, and for peace of mind, the puppet is securely attached to the back of the book.
