There's A Beach in My Pants!

Illustrated by David Tazzyman

About The Book

We went to the seaside, Mum, Pip and me.
To play in the sand dunes and splash in the sea,
We’d have SO MUCH fun, I had it all planned!
As soon as we got there . . . I RAN FOR THE SAND!


But one little girl gets SO MUCH MORE than she bargained for after her day out at the beach – with the most hilarious consequences!

From superstar fiction author Michelle Harrison and bestselling illustrator David Tazzyman comes the first book in a laugh-out-loud series set to become a family favourite.
