A highly amusing and quirky picture book that sees two comical creatures fighting for the limelight. Giggle and then smile as this witty tale concludes with a heartwarming message of unity and friendship.
The Gorgy Creech is an incredibly gorgeous creature! Adored by fans and the media's favourite celeb, the Gorgy Creech has the world at its feet. But now there's a new kid on the block! Enter Titchy Glitzy Gasbag, a creature who's catching the limelight. Will the Gorgy Creech become a has-been? Or maybe there's room for two megastars in this town. A fun-filled, hilarious story on how 'being popular' versus 'taking a knock' can have a happy ending, especially when people are generous and where unity prevails over selfishness.
A charming story with vibrant and lively illustrations to captivate young children.
