PARP! What's that smell? In this interactive board book, a group of animals enters a lift. At each floor, one of the animals breaks wind, producing a really stinky whiff! But who did it?

As each animal exits the lift, it slowly becomes clearer who the 'parper' is... and it's not who you expect! This sturdy board book includes pull-out sliders, which reveal extra story details, whether it's the giraffe's incredibly long neck or the mystery stinky culprit!

Bright, playful illustrations and lovable animal characters will make Parp! a firm family favourite. This robust board book and its fun sliders will withstand hours of hilarious fun.
