From the creators of the award winning Holey Moley comes a laugh-out-loud sequel. Gus the Goat is bursting with energy. Mavis Mole? Not so much. So when Mavis suggests a calm game of tiddlywinks, Gus has other ideas. Bigger ideas. Bolder ideas . . .

WHACK A MOLEY! This brilliantly bonkers picture book is packed with comedy that bounces effortlessly between dry and slapstick - perfect for making everyone in the room laugh! The delightfully mismatched friends, Gus and Mavis, are brought to life in style by Bethan Clarke's witty, razor-sharp dialogue and Anders Frang's vibrant, characterful illustrations.

For fans of Oi Frog! by Kes Gray and Jim Field, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems, and Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein, Whack a Moley is a celebration of imagination, wordplay, and an unforgettable friendship - a read-aloud riot, perfect for any time a giggle is needed.
