Achoo!

You probably know it’s good manners to ALWAYS cover your nose when you sneeze. But when Sid forgets this very simple rule, the consequences are WILDER than he could ever have predicted. 

Get ready for a laugh-out-loud, sneeze-driven joyride, featuring elephants, pirates, acrobats, giants, princesses and a whole lot of pandas. Sneezing will never be the same again!

This joyfully anarchic, side-splittingly funny story is perfect for fans of You Can’t Take an Elephant on the Bus and There’s a Shark in the Bath.

Reviews

“This brilliantly zany picture book makes the topic of rules and manners incredibly light-hearted and funny. Written in fun rhyming verse, it is a great book to read aloud and keeps you guessing as to what curious characters will appear next. We love the gorgeous illustrations which are full of expression and movement – rules can be seen as boring so it’s great to see a book which addresses them with lots of colour, humour and action.”

“It’s a joy from start to surprise finish and Nathan Reed’s illustrations easily match the inventive anarchy of Simon Philip’s text.”

LoveReading4Kids

With its brilliant finale, this is a super read aloud of the totally daft kind. maybe not totally daft actually, for the message about remembering to cover your nose when you feel a sneeze coming on is an important one…Listeners will love Simon’s rollicking rhyming narrative and relish Nathan’s increasingly high octane scenes, every one of which exudes (A)tissues full of humour. A rip-roaring read indeed.”

— Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub

“Oh this is SO. MUCH. FUN! The rhyme absolutely sparkles and this has such pace and rhythm which makes it a total joy to read and listen to. Nathan's illustrations are once again absolutely fantastic too…”

— Caz, Teeny Readers

“A truly laugh-out-loud tale.”

— Kalpa Ghelani, Just Imagine
