A heavily illustrated short novel for early readers, it's      a perfect book for younger ones that want something a bit longer      than a picture book but still love silly humour and a great, well-written      concept. - BookTrust\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54819136373112,"sku":"9780702339738","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9780702339738.jpg?v=1732198557","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780702339738","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
