An irreverent and zany counting book that is gently thrilling and written in a deliciously infectious rhyme with witty and whimsical illustrations. Perfect for children starting or going back to school, and as a present for teachers. Written by the award-winning author of the Waterstones Children's Book of the Year 2024. Shortlisted for the Laugh-Out-Loud Book Awards. Ten very foolish teachers have missed the last bus home. But LOOK - a shortcut through the forest! They'll be back in time for tea! Off they skip, unaware that in the woods a hungry horde of mischievous and hilariously goofy monsters is waiting... "Funny and irreverent, it's easy to imagine this one being a huge hit at school storytime." Guardian"A comic countdown chant. This rhyming story is great fun to read aloud...
